As long as Dr’s aren’t signing (or very few), and as long as you have to purchase the prescription...there is nothing valid about the ACMPR. The Libs have enough on their plate without going after MMAR again. I’m quite sure they’re willing to just let us die off!
Cremes and salves, lip balms etc.
by improve you mean put up more barriers to access, make it tougher to qualify,make it impossible to work,or get to work, reduce the qty's for all.
Exactly
Then they are medicated....nothing to do with rec...nothing....should fall under the ACMPR.....
I don't think they're are looking at it as either rec or medical, but as another retail category.
I can't understand from this if they want to start your 1 year period on the date they process your application (thus extending the end date) or if they just officially want to be able to stop you from starting on the date your doctor signs?
I think what they are saying is you won't waste 3 months of your year waiting for them to process the registration as it don't start until they stamp it. You would have a full year of growing. Of course if you just do what everyone else does and start when your doctor signs, who's gonna know? or care.
a 1 gram 25% THC joint will make you herd cats.
What about cannabis itself then if we follow that logic? Why does the method of consumption suddenly make a difference?Like Vianna mentioned theyre simply looking at it as another retail avenue
Yeah that's how I'm reading it, at least it clarifies when it starts and I remember seeing people here waiting for the forms before they started. To me, this means as soon as they've received the application you're good to go.
I read through the whole thing with my tinfoil hat on and at first I thought I saw some areas where there was a hint of future plans to change ACMPR. But after going through the whole document, they specifically allowed for and even reduced some restrictions in the current ACMPR. I think where they will go is that once all of this is in place, if you're MMAR your time is limited and you should be looking for alternatives to obtain your ACMPR with as high a limit as you can get a doc to sign off for. Of course there's always the chance they'll try and tweak ACMPR but it would be a while, they'll be busy just putting all of this (and edibles) in place for the first couple of years.
Well method of consumption at the moment will be smoking only.....
Can't remember since I'm not registered and wouldn't follow the rule anyhow, but is there no allowance for home made edibles within the ACMPR?
No organic solvents... other than that they don’t talk about ppl/dg edible production.
Cheers, so technically if I were ACMPR I'd be fine to make my coconut oil caps for myself. Not like they'd ever have the resources to enforce it in the medical area anyhow.
The point I'm making is its all the same. The only difference IMO should be that medical should cost less and be taxed less as well. So why get surprised or pissed that rec will adopt these products as well?
That'll be interesting to navigate the multi-license options once they get moving on this and finalize the proposal. It's a little vague in some areas around the licensing but there are hints that multi-license may be an option, even for sales. But in the current document that's as clear as mud. One of the comments I made in the survey was to simplify and make provinces more consistent, if they allow the provinces to choose on some of these proposals, the confusion is just starting.
