Don't judge a book by its cover. Have you ever taken a look at dr greenthumbs website? Hardly any better haha, yet people still swear by him (people, definitely not me though)
Canadian Compassion Club gets mouthy and large orders are for Dealers!

One thing you can take for granted is that that discussion is never far from the table. There are good practical reasons for that, despite what they tell you.
Richard Branson, the big UN "decrim" advocate, wants it regulated to "60's potency", of 2% THC. He also wants to produce it.
Now imagine yourself as an LP, with a turn key million dollar business. You don't know the first thing about it, other than producing a quality product consistently is beyond your means or ability. It would push production costs up dramatically and results are not assured. You'd also be in a highly competitive field making the extent of the effort required not worthwhile.
So in response, you flex your lobbyist abilities, early on in the game, and get regulations that fall in your favor. If weed were regulated to 2% THC, (or even 9), not only do you set the scene for low operating costs in a very low maintenance type setup, but with the stroke of a pen you've felled all of your potential competition from ever existing as a threat at all. Profit will then simply be a numbers game.
So yeah, it always comes up from time to time and in strange places. It will NEVER go away so long as there's a notion of corporations growing for people who are not allowed to for themselves. So we see it with the veterans here again. They're at 9% max because I think 2% was ruled inadequate with PPS, who also had to up their minimal offerings to 9%. It's like min wage. It would be lower if only they could.
But discussions such as these remove focus from the fact that if you're growing weed to a minimal standard, you're growing it at minimal quality, and that can't constitute as being reasonable medical access. Studies, which health canada uses and makes available for doctors and anyone else, have found that the healthiest means of consumption, is not vaporizing or anything else. It's simply the most potent weed you can get, where you end up consuming less for it.
These arguments become impossible to make though as so called medical activists flaunt excess in extremes and only ever treat it as a party favor, lacking any respect for it or anyone who needs it whatsoever. When seen in that light, then the answer becomes "these people need cages", and fucked notions like a limit on potency start to seem reasonable. So to them I say, yet again, good job, frauds.
In this case, it's just easier to fuck the vets with their privilege. Nobody will be standing up for them, they can barely stand for themselves, and they're already isolated as nobody else has their weed usage covered. Their situation is akin to being in prison and not being free to refuse their "treatment". Once they've made the vets comfortable with that notion, it'll expand across the MMPR, and you can imagine most of them would LOVE not having the burden of the expectation for quality pot from them.
BTW, it's worth noting, that their weed was previously only ever supplied and covered with stock from PPS. So the were already subjected to an inadequate limit of 2%, and then 9%. The MMPR could have improved that for them.

This "compassion club" charges $ 8.00 per gram, plus shipping with no quality control and you can get arrested for having it. Why not buy from an LP for much less money, tested product and a package that will prevent you from losing your job, house, future, etc.? I don't understand why anyone would but from these people. What am I missing?
They've been doing it longer?
They have a better supply?
They grow proven better quality?
This way you don't gets stuck buying from one place.
Having CC on your person or having LP on your person will still see you in court the way it is right now anyway.
What's so hard to understand?
Not really sure why anyone would buy LP or CC myself.

I am not sure how I would buy from a LP. I have seizures, but no diagnosis for them right now. I can't get help from my doctors, so I am managing things myself until they (hopefully) figure out what is going on, and offer me some options (be that traditional medication, or a "green card"). I am trying to find more consistent, and higher quality product than I currently buy on the street, but I don't know where to look. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Well I will preface my answer by saying that I do not have to utilize this silly system. Having said that, it's almost not even the point but the principle of it. Who wants to be forced into buying anything? This could have been a great source for patients, but Harptler and his merry band of idiots chose to suck people into thinking they were going to make millions of dollars off of sick people - what's not to understand there? I would rather buy from an compassion club that has been serving MY needs for the past several years, and quite well I might add, than buy from some big corporate entity that hasn't got a clue and doesn't give a shit about my needs. I have never been sick from cc pot, I have never had mold from cc pot, and while I may not have been able to afford my entire script, ever, they are a great source of medicine for me when my plants fuck up or I just need something different. Right now I believe that $8/g is the most I would pay and more likely I can get some great shit for $6-$7/g and before you go off about that price, I can also get odd and unusual sizes like 2.56 g or whatever if that's how the balance works out. Which LP is offering that convenience? None. and why...because they wouldn't make any money of it. I don't understand what is so hard to understand about that.
Another point to consider is the doctor situation. I was able to be signed up to cc with the stroke of the nps pen...no doc required as I have proven medical need. How many people have not been able to find a doc or have to pay a substantial price to have a doc sign? It's all about making it as difficult as possible to access something that helps people.
So I guess it comes down to my principles. I cannot and will not support something that doesn't support me. In fact, I would probably pay a cc primo $$ so as not to support this sham.

What is a pleasant interaction?
I assume you are presently a marijuana user...and they aren't helping with your seizures?
By pleasant I mean polite emails, as well as discount offers upon request and further information about my illness. The OP didn't seem impressed with their customer service, but I was. I am using presently, yes. I smoke on average 2 grams per day to remain mostly seizure free. When I am not medicated I have on average 2-3 seizures daily, sometimes as many as 8-9. Smoking takes up a lot of time, and is not good for my health. I do vape, and will be doing that hopefully exclusively soon, but I want to experiment with concentrates for more efficient medicating (which I don't have access to currently so I am looking online).

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada want to limit it to 9%thc.
Weaker pot means you have to smoke more....now who benefits from this scenario?
Look at the response to your original post from particle...I miss his contributions.

Ok, I understand, thanks.
What strains are you using?...I would be thinking high CBD strains in capsule or oil form.
Um...no diagnosis for daily multiple seizures?
I have been going back and forth with doctors for over a year now, have had three EEGs and an MRI done with none giving any indication of what is wrong. I feel like the doctors don't even care enough to try to figure it out, but I suppose it is wait times due to systematic issues. I would ideally be using high CBD strains in capsule or oil form, but those things are not available to me at this time. Right now I am just smoking or vaping whatever I can get, and usually it doesn't even have a name.

Gottcha...good luck. I wish you all the best.
Would you trust canadiancompassionclub.com then? Or just compassion clubs in general? Can you suggest anyone else I could contact?
As a person who suffers from seizures, let me tell you you NEED to be ingesting your cannabis orally to get the full benefits and duration of the medicine. Vaping or smoking are great if you get that feeling like something isn't right and you might have a seizure sometime soon ( at least I get those feelings) and you need a quick fix but as you said, it takes some time to blaze a fatty or rip a vape sesh so doing that throughout the day takes quite a bit of time. Go with canna caps. Easy to make, dependable and if you take them on an empty stomach they kick in really fast.

Hi Paul,
I sent this to you, not sure why you didn't get it. We're not a scam site, we just take some time on the weekends for ourselves, like most everyone in business. Peace, hope you find the people you wish to work with. We don't need large orders anyway, that's not our mandate. We operate to help individuals find the meds they need, not bulk orders for re-sale. Good luck!
I think you need to re-evaluate your definition of mouthy, someone telling you something you don't want to hear does not mean the person is being mouthy. I have ordered from this site for over two years and have not had one package disappear and all medicine is top quality, better than LPs that I know. They provide quality medicine to PATIENTS, they are not looking to provide pounds to a dealer, they sell in smaller amounts.
Every weekend they take off, it is not something unusual, e-mails are answered promptly on Sunday evening or Monday morning.
As for package safety - in a bag, in a Tupperware container, double vacuum sealed, and inside two envelopes. If that's not safe enough you're paranoid.
And to all the naysayers, say what you want, I know where my weed comes from and it sure as hell doesn't come from some crumby street dealer or self righteous LP it come from canadian compassion club.
The weed from people I know does not get me high at all, it looks like grass and it tastes worse. I want medicinal grade bud, rock hard, dense, potent kush. If you like smoking hay go for it.I only trust people I know and only half of them

I do get some sort of notification feeling when I am going to have one. I will do more research into canna caps, thanks.
