far from it being the only option my friend. I find it strange you even say this.
Hope you find good meds for the wife.
organigram looking pretty decent.

Tis truth. Not everyone is in the same situation, and not everyone can avail themselves of the same options. Dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks. It's all good

Wow, this place has gone from 'stop the MMPR!' to, 'meh, I'll line these corporate profiteers pockets'
So much for fighting the good fight. You don't fight injustice by compromising with it.

I'm not encouraging shit. Some people are stuck in this system if they want to be legal. The least I can do is offer some advice other than growing your own (though clearly this would be ideal) to those who don't have the luxury of doing so.
I'm well aware of the issues with the MMPR as I am enrolled in it. Thanks for seeming like you could tell me something that I don't know.
There's a lot of people who want to be legal but their docs will only sign MMPR documents like mine. In this situation you need to weigh out your options. At no point was I jumping for joy about how amazing organigram is. Just how they are in comparison to my current producer.

I think we can all pretty much acknowledged that the mmpr isn't going to go away anytime soon as long as harper is leading the way...as many have said before, LPs are here to serve the recreational user...the guy who just wants to have a blast every weekend with his buddies....but if the governmnt thinks that patients who need a much better quality than what's been offered so far as well as quantities and affordable cost all at a consistent level...they can think again...the "new" system which hopefully is legalization is going to have to allow for home growing or there is no point...people will always grow whether legal or not. And it's not a meh attitude...it's knowing which battle to engage in...and admittedly there are some people who think this system is great...it's just not anyone who's been using for many years.

I have yet to meet recreational or any cannabis users outside of these forums who either knows about LP's or even cares to take a day off work to see some $500 doctors who will sign them paper work that will let them buy overpriced weed and then they wait for it to be mailed. I do know lots of req users who have bought from dispensaries at least once.

I agree...only folks in the system are aware...I was referring more to the system itself....and no most people wouldn't pay anything to see a doctor to have MJ prescribed....but then again MJ is supposed be the medication of last resort because it's so harmful...this is part of the reason I think it's geared toward the rec market...they're just using sick and dying people to get there. It really pisses me that there was such a bru ha ha about the rate of growth of the mmar, yet there are growth projections for the mmpr...I just can not square that in my head. Another reason I think this is gearing up for rec users is that they (LP's) can't fill large scripts...not that anyone could afford it....I'm so glad to see that access thing coming up again and again and again....it's the crux of our fight! The price will have to work itself out...but I can't see that happening until prohibition ends. I guess I am kind of surprised at how expensive it is in CO.....must be a convenience thing.

the MMPR program is most definitely a recreational program in disguise coming into play.. WHATFG i agree with your point there about the projections from Health Canada regarding the growth of the MMPR.. Let's look at this straight: We have an organization in charge of licensing producers and patients themselves stating that they predict the MMPR program will grow to have over 400,000 patients.. In other words, Health Canada is saying with the new MMPR commercial program rather than MMAR, we are now ready to allow approval of more "patients" because we now have a framework in place to make $$$ off em.. does anyone else find it ironic that these growth projections are coming from the very organization in charge of the whole damn thing. where are these 400,000 people coming from? did they suddenly develop conditions that only MMJ can help? No, they've been here all along, now HC is just finally ready to approve them under their new commercial program

Correction...far from it being the only option my friend. I find it strange you even say this.

Only "legal" option.
Again Brewery, that is incorrect as well.
In Canada as it stands right now " if you are sick"., there isn't a court in Canada that will convict you. but any law enforcement will charge you though.....
.
yes .. both cases, LEGAL and ILLEGAL. will see you in court to defend yourself!!

I'm not going down this rabbit hole again!Again Brewery, that is incorrect as well.

legal or not !
The laws(mmpr) haven't been tested. I'd bet heavily that you are right. I'm just not willing to be the guinea pig on that experiment - one guinea pig is enough.
Either way, I will continue to source my wife's meds however I need to.
Let's all pray this mess gets sorted in February/March and doesn't get hijacked by the coming elections.
Brewery.
If you or your wife are caught holding your wife's Meds. You will see court, believe it or not.
That alone is an experiment all in itself. Don't kid(minnow) yourself here.
Your idea???. the Law as it stands here in Canada right now, is not what you think when it comes to handing out convictions.

Well said.
That's what a lot of patients on here were saying from the start...silly government cannbis growing is for patients and hippies of course. Hopefully harper and his cohorts at health Canada get what's coming to them. F&@@@& I can not stand that smug look on harpers face!!' Tool

Some of us work within the system that is available to us so that we are legal. I cannot afford to lose my (very public) job because of a possession or growing charge. I am also not in a position to grow at the moment.
However that does not stop me from putting my money where my mouth is and donating a fairly significant chunk of change to groups, causes and organizations that support changes to the MMPR and full legalization. I also use my job to quietly advocate behind the scenes with people at upper political levels and in police circles.

No. And I live in a town of 1,800 people. I cannot have my name associated with pot, legal or otherwise, and still keep the moral authority required to do my job which involves working with local, provincial and federal political people, head bureaucrats and the local police board.

Just a question and I know it's none of my business but did you have an mmar lic and if so living in such a small town (like mine 2500 to 3500 people) everyone talks including postal employees and thanks to HC everyone in my town knows my business. Medical marihuana access program!!!! Just wondering?
Peace
