MMPR Commercial License

Many people are saying the licenses will not be approved even if all the guidelines are in order. Has anyone jumped through the hoops and got an application off to health Canada yet? Or if anyone's in the process, how is it going?

i know several groups vying for this

these are serious business people mixed with top growers and scientists from all over the world..I know of at least 3 groups in my circle that are in the process...

meetings with Health Canada..location already purchased and facilities being built to compliance....

I am talking millions of dollars here.....


So if you have it go for it...if not...Keep dreaming

peace

Of course you have the big timers. A true open market of medical growers should be able to support smaller 20 or so light operations. Run it with a couple people and provide a more personal service... Very tempting to put the current career on hold, get a business loan and go for it

So in the guidelines it states you need to give health Canada a copy of a letter sent to the police, fire, and local government. If the city doesn't have zoning set up for this type of thing can they shut you down even if your property is in a commercial space ok'd by the owner?

i will have organic hydro, trophy winning gear, for 5.00.

good luck with your processes. see you in the open market

SO many Jamokes who think they actually have a shot at getting one of these licenses, its hilarious.

on Craigslist there are already jobs looking for managers to run these operations.


The same idiots who think their Dr Goddard license was gonna be a money printing machine, now think they can use that same chicken barn to have a federal license.


There are definitely a lot of serious contenders too, but so many of the guys I'm coming across are clueless, annoying their hydro shop staff, begging for contacts to labs to "test their THC" etc.....

Really ? I have been looking at craigslist and only finding ppl with licences looking for DG over and over. I live in BC and I had to find a grower from TO which is fucked up. Can't seem to find any place in BC to grow and I have been looking for a long time now headband 707:biggrin:

I know its friggin hilarious...people THINK that because hey i was doing this before...why can't I now...it's a very childish way of thinking...I hate these cry babies..ohhh no more DG's...the system wasn't working anyway...so don't cry cause they decided to change things...and people thinking the gov't will just hand these out like candy..like they did before...are fucking dreaming...THERE IS A REASON THEY CHANGED THEY REGS....to make it more difficult to be compliant...and legal.....I agree with all the changes..just don't agree with the fact that they are taking medicine away from sick people...thats NOT COOL

but a DG...if they have done it right...they got like $500,000K sitting somewhere collecting interest....DON"T TELL ME PEOPLE HAVEN"T MADE LOADS OF DOUGH OFF BEING A DG...Where does all the extra go?...LOL ON THE MARKET....hence why its flooded atm...

But yea if you think you are gonna just be handed a Commercial GROW OP...KEEP DREAMING BOYS

the use of the word Jamokes in this sentence was an awesome way to start the day
LOL

they can use that same chicken barn
man the market for farm fresh chicken eggs is a gold mine!

i wouldnt trust anyone in bc.
too funny, I take it a little further..

I for one am not particularly found of the human race, of all the species that have inhabited this rock they are they ones that seem to be the most destructive to the planet and one another.

but I digress, let the Jamokes and other clueless wannabe's do their thing, the people with their head in the game as well as having the knowledge, pedigree of said skill sets will imho get the nod along with obvious big corp (who may in fact utilize the people with the mad skills to work the 'big shows')..

..of course this post is conjured up whilst enjoying the mid morning tea & doobie

I'm from BC, maybe don't trust people in Manitoba. No matter how it turns out, everyone is talking out their asses til they have the commercial license in place with R&D. It will take a lot of cash to setup and most people don't have the cash available. You'll need sprinkler system in place, secure vault/storage area, washrooms, showers, office area, overhead doors, irrigation system plumbed into the floor, havc system, and much more. I know a few people who are pretty much prepared and selling for $5 gram, probably less is doable and make a profit. It costs less than $500 to grow a pound of quality marijuana and that's @ $1 a gram. These people I know are happy with decent profits per month, even 15% back on investment is a good ROI.
 
Hey hvac guy, can you point me to an official document stating that the requirements that you described must be met. I don't see why HC would care if you are growing the plants in dirt and watering by hand or in a hi-tech hydro system as long as quality is on par, products is tested and labeled, you are on camera and are keeping all of the appropriate records. I've read the regulations over a few times and haven't found any requirements that would make it unachievable for small or medium businesses to receive a license.

One of the people I am speaking with has a detailed format how they would "like" to see it setup, definitely need a soil based growroom or two, some patients will demand as close to organic as possible. The vault/storage area has to be cement bricks filled with rebar in between then concrete poured. I guess some dudes could drive a druck through the wall and voila a few 100 lbs lol. No matter what is set forth, the more detailed and functional the facility, the better. Raise and lower all the lights via trusses, 2 or 4 lights per, great for cleaning floor when it comes time to clean every couple months.

If a few 100 lights or more are being used, that equates to more power from the grid, more plant debris to get rid of, compost would be be best. Having a good Geneticist for the plants will be the biggest bonus, as each year goes by, will the commercial grower just keep using clones.

So have they actually done any studies to support their business plan where it show that people will actually go to the doctor and then buy the weed from commercial companies?

Sure for a lot of people they will want a prescription to smoke dope but if it comes with a huge list of side effects and restrictions on where and when its safe to use, no company where machinery and peoples lives are involved will allows people to smoke or be high on the job. Will people even bother to get a prescription just so smoke at home or while they are on their days off? I think most wont especially if the black market compensates for the price.
 
lol sprinkler system for fire...not the plants..

Thats obvious since he mentioned an irrigation system plumbed into the floor. However, if the electrical inspector says that everything is up to code and wont catch on fire, why the sprinklers? I can see a sprinkler system being required for a facility that has walls shared with other businesses, etc. If you have a fully inspected free standing building, why would anyone care if it burns, as long as it doesn't affect anyone. At the end of the day it is up to the owner to decide what measures they are willing to take in order to "insure" their investment. I say meet all the requirements of an insurance company to have the facility insured for a good amount of money. If they say that your place is good enough, HC wouldnt be able to claim otherwise. In theory, lol.
