why would the rights of a tenant who is sick supersede the rights of the property owner? As its been stated already, the tenancy act doesn't allow you to renovate your home or do anything above and beyond living in the space as agreed upon by the landlord and tenant.
why would lower income canadians all of a sudden have a loophole to abuse the rights of those lucky/responsible enough to prosper in a free market economy? decades of fascism have been spent creating an uneven power structure and it has never been that way (rights of the middle and lower class to supplant those of the upper class) and why would it be for this of all things?
This has nothing to do with federal superseding provincial, it has to do with the legal rights of a property owner. As a patient you have no right to tell somebody who has the deed to the home what you are going to do in their space. You rent, you are not the owner. If you had that kind of clout, you'd have a mortgage.
Get a DG because your lucky to have a place to live first and foremost and secondly there are a few avenues to be taken if you need cannabis, this is pretty much part and parcel why they have a dg program (for those who cannot due to circumstance i.e. health, living arrangements, familial relationships).
Is it cheaper to find another home to live in where you can access consent or is it economically feasible to access cannabis from a dg or other source. I had my pinks at a relatives and needed their signature for that location, when I moved in with my wife I had to have her sign because its her house. This was for MMAR and was what my lawyer and Health Canada told me I had to do.
Best of luck to all, the goal is to find relief not another headache.
Be Well
