I think that's the first person you should send it to.
Ottawa might try to prohibit homegrown pot - if the media even thinks so...

The feds will not win in the end. The people will though..with hardship of course..
Just up until someone goes to court... no one is being convicted of anything if they have a right to do what they wish. our feds will have to STOP being morons and realize after spending a couple more billion that thier BS doesn't fly. We've had them PINNED SINCE DAY ONE!.

I cant believe i am doing this..but...
I agree. But we still need to be LOUD. They dont seem to be getting the message. It seems they are distracted in trying to monopolize the mj market.

this might help a bit..
We found out last week that Anne McLellan will be leading the new federal task forceon marijuana legalization. Ms. McLellan is perfectly suited for this role as a former Minister of Health, Justice and Public Safety, she may be the only person to have held all three of those portfolios.
A few misconceptions have come out of this announcement, including this bizarre article in Now Magazine saying that storefronts have been ruled out. That is not at all the case in fact. Page 21 of the discussion paper clearly states:
"However, the system may need to be pragmatic to respond to the demand
for venues to consume marijuana outside the home in order to avoid proliferation of
consumption in all public spaces. Consideration could be given to identifying--and
strictly limiting and controlling--allowable sites for use by adults. This could serve to
minimize normalization of marijuana and protect against the exposure of non-users to
second-hand smoke and vapours."
Canadians will now have until Augusr 29th to make submissions to this task force and a report is expected sometime in November.
If I could provide Ms. McLellan and the task force a single piece of advice, it would be to remember the mandate, and the reasons why this government chose to move towards legalization in the first place. The mandate of the government is to Legalize, Regulate and Restrict Access to minors of cannabis products.
We have heard a lot about legalization, and right now everyone is talking about the regulations that will go along with that legalization, but very few people are discussing the third part of the mandate, "restricting access".
We know that the government will be moving towards a Pharmacy model for the distribution of medicinal marijuana in the coming months according to lawyers John Conroy and Rosy Mondin. Presumably, this will include both Pharmacy chains like Shoppers, Rexall & Jean Coutu, but also allow existing dispensaries to compete by working with licensed pharmacists.
Not everyone will like that approach, but it will provide municipalities and enforcement agencies with a certain level of comfort, having a regulated professional like a pharmacist ensuring compliance with MMAR & MMPR regulations. This new approach should go a long way towards "restricting access", but that only deals with medicinal marijuana. Recreational, adult use marijuana will be more difficult to regulate to ensure a focus on restricting access.
What would ensure that children and teens don't have access to recreational cannabis, how would we eliminate the potential of access or at least reduce it to a minimum? That is hard to say exactly. The only certainty is that shutting down the industry that supplied MMAR patients for the past 15 years is NOT the right approach. Allowing smaller producers, craft cannabis and the existing cannabis culture to play a role in the future of marijuana will ensure there is no supply or economic incentive for a black market to operate.
Today, and for the past 80+ years, people face the possibility of criminal charges for possession & distribution of cannabis products. Why would anyone risk those consequences? Surely our current laws should provide incentive for restricting access, but they don't. Tightly regulating legal cannabis will do little to accomplish this.
By letting adult consumers decide the winners and losers in the cannabis industry, instead of the law makers, we can accomplish what Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government imagined when setting the mandate for legalization. Legalization is coming, the regulations will be set soon and likely evolve over time. It's important to start on the right path by remembering how to restrict access in the adult use recreational market.

For the first time in almost 20 years I almost had to punch someone in the face today at a Cannabis clinic, I was complaining to the front desk about something and all of a sudden this dumb ass 20 year old got in my face, he was like hey buddy what your asking is illegal, I said first off none of your business, 2nd off I have 100% right to ask/say what I did, he proceeds to tell me "Hey your piece of shit, I am making it my business" I almost lost it, almost was in jail for putting my hands on him, I just walked away. I only bring up this because it kind of is valid to our discussion here. He was trying to get his MMPR and he thought by me calling out the DR for being a scum bag that would / could effect his script, I told him, what I am doing is not just for me but for you and people like you who do not know any better. Anyways this is the world we live in, 20 year old's taking it up the ass by greedy DR's to get a script for Cannabis, SMH.......

Best place to start would be with Hydroponic shop owners.
