Northerner here . Heard on CBC radio that the government will be pulling all personal grow licenses in 2012 .Patients will be forced to buy from government allocated growers.I don't think I would apply for a grow license, The least they know about you the better you will be.

That is maybe short sighted as there will be a Constitutional Challenge that will keep it tied up in the courts, I think the Gov will back down on this.
I don't know if they will back down. They are being fueled by big business! The government spent lots of money helping build a lot of greenhouses over the years. A lot of them are itching to get get into a new produce line. There was a story about it in BC in Chilliwack. Seems the City council is behind it 100 %. I heard Health Canada are not issuing anymore DG licenses. They will renew existing licenses for the time being. I heard this from a reliable source. If someone knows different I stand corrected.

my only recommendation for fellow medical growers, Do NOT back down.
if we ALL hold our position, they cannot make criminals out of us all, its political suicide.

My wife is palliative (bone cancer) and her doctor signed off w/o hesitation - simply asked how it helped her (appetite, pain, mood, nausea). From talking with him briefly he seems to only be familiar with the THC side of cannabis and more-so the synthetic PO form and was unfamiliar with CBD and it's anti-inflammatory properties.
While opiates are still her primary form of pain-control, I would really like to try cannabis oil to see if it can at least get her off the steroids she has to take for tumour inflammation. I'm not sure how that could become a reality through the MMAR programs guidelines. Has anyone gone this route?
Also, I'm currently looking for a DG to supply my wife's medicine (2g/day) and would like to find a high CBD strain if possible.

Health canada says you can only us mj in it's natural form. But don't let that stop you, it has not stopped anyone else. The are some very good ways to make oil go to thcfarmer and have a look in there threads, tons of info, also check out Treating Yourself MJ mag.
AS a rule of thumb a plant with high THC has low CBD so you need a low THC strain. Here is a list I have. What part of the country are you in so I can help find you a DG or point you in the right direction. I don't need to know exact but close to what major city. If in the GTA call the Do no harm clinic in to. 416-441-2502

Medical Marijuana Seeds Strains
by admin
Although marijuana is best known for its recreational use and mind altering effects, recent scientific studies shows that it has enormous medicinal potential. The history of marijuana as a medicine isn’t anything new however, it is extensive and includes many characters on many continents.
It’s believed that one of the earliest Chinese Emperor’s, dating as early in time as 2700 B.C., established what’s believed to be the very first account, or categorization, of the Cannabis plant in a system of ‘Herbal Medicine’s’. The Chinese Emperor Shen Nong, who was also known as ‘ The Divine Farmer ‘, was the first to document the plant’s benefits. The Emperor was also known for teaching Agriculture and Medicine in Ancient China. Thus establishing what just may be history’s first Medical Marijuana in or around 2700 B.C. by the Emperor.
Marijauna use as a treatment and medicine for a variety of illnesses helped it spread from ancient Asia throughout the world. The plant consistently appeared in folk medicine and pharmacopoeia as a treatment for seizure, pain, muscle spasm, nausea, poor appetite, insomnia, asthma and depression. Its potential to alleviate, premenstrual symptoms, labor pains and menstrual cramps also received attention in multiple medical reports from ancient times to present.
Possible medical marijuana benefits and application has continued to increase its popularity, even with individuals who would frown upon recreational use. Therapeutic cannabis has also provided intriguing scientific and legal research. Unfotunatley due to a current controversial around the marijauna laws, medical marijuana researches are somehow in the early stages and there is not a clear categorization of the best medical marijuana strains.
To understand why the different strains may have different effects and help different types od medical condition it’s good to know the basic chemistry of cannabis.
The active indigrients of cannabis consists of:
* THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) gets a user high, a larger THC content will produce a stronger high. Without THC you don’t get high.
* CBD (Cannabidiol) increases some of the effects of THC and decreases other effects of THC. High levels of THC and low levels of CBD contribute to a strong, clear headed, more energetic high.
* Cannabis that has a high level of both THC and CBD will produce a strong head-stone that feels almost dreamlike. Cannabis that has low levels of THC and high levels of CBD produces more of a buzz or stoned feeling. The mind feels dull and the body feels tired.
* CBN (Cannabinol) is produced as THC ages and breaks down, this process is known as oxidization. High levels of CBN tend to make the user feel messed up rather than high.
* CBN levels can be kept to a minimum by storing cannabis products in a dark, cool, airtight environment. Marijuana should be dry prior to storage, and may have to be dried again after being stored somewhere that is humid.
* THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) is found primarily in strains of African and Asian cannabis. THCV increases the speed and intensity of THC effects, but also causes the high to end sooner. Weed that smells strong (prior to smoking) might indicate a high level of THCV.
* CBC (Cannabichromene) is probably not psychoactive in pure form but is thought to interact with THC to enhance the high.
* CBL (Cannabicyclol) is a degradative product like CBN. Light converts CBC to CBL.
If you are a grower, you can experiment with different marijuana strains to produce the various qualities you seek. A medical user looking for something with sleep inducing properties might want to produce a crop that has high levels of CBD.
Another user looking for a more energetic stone will want to grow a strain that has high levels of THC and low levels of CBD.
In general, Cannabis sativa has lower levels of CBD and higher levels of THC. Cannabis indica has higher amounts of CBD and lower amounts of THC than sativa. So for example if you are looking for the pain reliving marijuana strain – the Indica’s are best known to do just that.

Thanks woodsman.
I'm in Ontario, but about 2 hours from the GTA... from what I've seen I'd like to find some Harlequin seeds (or a cut) but they appear to be one the expensive end of the scale and not available through my current channels that sell individual seeds.

Has anyone used these clinics that charge $400+ to help you get your license. Im hoping that since my doctor is retiring he might sign me into the program. Hes known me my entire life and i'm currently 30. I havent seen him in a few years because ive been self medicating and havent required his services. Im planning for the worst tho and him saying no. Thats okay if he does its his right I suppose and i wont be mad or anything. So because of that im wondering about alternate options and if anyone has experience with these clinics that do it for a fee. any help or advice would be great.
