if their gamble works out these wannabe LP are thinking $15 per g with a production cost of around $1.50 per g LOL
with that kind of margin it reduces the need to back door the product other than to evade tax and even than a good tax pro can do wonders
all the profit of black market with 0 risk just like most pharmaceuticals

picture if you can a shady coked out Albanian lawyer and you will have a good idea of your typical wannabe LP representative

You forgot to mention all the tax dollars the government will receive from the new MMPR with the LP's. This tax will be tacked on to the price and paid by all the patients. With the old MMAR, the government would received zero tax dollars, with no chance of any in the future. Everyone but the government was making money, they just want there piece of the pie.

If the government could have figured out a way to make money off the old MMAR, it would not be threatened today.

That's where people are wrong. The government did get tax from it; sales tax when people spent the money.

If they would just let people make a bit of extra spending money without worrying about how to tax it on the front end, people would spend and they'd get sales tax on the back end.

There should be no regulations of any kind when it comes to cannabis. It would boost the economy.

That's all it is. Delivering another multi-billion dollar business into the hands of their corporate friends.

Yes, I agree...The government did receive taxes in the form of GST or PST on all equipment sold, but that's where it all stopped. It was the final product that made all the cash(or so they thought), and they were not getting there fair share or cut (or as I refer to taxes "Tribute"). All they seen was a huge market of untapped funds and they were receiving penny's on the dollar through sales tax...to the Harper government, this was...NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

There is no way to tax under the radar or under the table money, because there are no records kept.

Sooooooo...The government decided to do a guess, as to what was being bought and sold on the black market in regards to the money generated. They then used the made up or fabricated facts, to calculate all the missed tax revenue(or dollars), pushing the totals into the 10's of millions of dollars. The figures were also based on the fabricated fact, that everyone in the MMAR program was growing Marijuana, strictly for cash gains. And that there was only 30% of the membership using the MMAR program as it was intended to be used(this is where they(HC) gets the 30% that will not be able to participate in the MMPR program, simply over, the lack of funds).

Since the numbers of missed tax dollars were calculated in the 10's of millions each and every year. And since they had ignored the existing MMAR program for so long(hoping for failure), the changes needed to generate money, could not be made within the MMAR program, without a huge disagreement from the MMAR membership. This is why, they(the gov.) decided to eliminate the old MMAR program and revise it, into the new MMPR program, a program that could be controlled and taxed.

The MMPR is just the result of pure greed on the governments part, and they are willing to sacrifice 30%(10,000 Canadian Citizens) to achieve control over the lucrative Medical MJ industry.

The MMPR must be challenged, no Canadian citizen should ever be sacrifice for any reason by there own government...EVER!!!

I have to give credit where credit is due.
Peace Natural is selling at $6/g, they are offering a 50% discount to people on disability allowance or social assistance.
Kudos, nice to see.

Exposed floor joists right above plants.

Horrible plastic bag bag type packaging, not sure how its child safe either.

I feel disgusted for the sick person whom has to consume the buds the owner squeezes and sticks in his nostrils, they must remove the nose hairs and booger particulates before the QA process...

Looks like machine trimmed beasters being tossed around willy nilly in rubbermaids for storage.

Embarrassing...

No.....the only thing people want to do on this board and in this thread...

A bunch of cry babies that aren't allowed to grow their own weed anymore and more than half of them profited from it...

So i say shit on them

Good luck to the MMPR

Did you read the latest article Pot users concerned about the price of medical cannabis.

“My options are: I can sit back and suffer and die, or grow it illegally or go to jail,” said 51-year-old Gignac, who smokes 30 grams a day to treat an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis.

While its criminal that he cannot even access the amount he needs, its would be insane to think its ok that he'd have to pay $2700/month @ $3/gram.

The average disability cheque is 880 bucks, if you have any serious medical condition you would have to spend half your income on your medication @ $3/gram, 5g/day.

Yes this is progress from higher prices, but it is still not acceptable, not with the lack of limitation set upon LP's.

I'm just not convinced its the best they can do, even at their $6/gram price they are taking on investment from big Corps like PharmaCan Capital. Just smells like big corp money wolves in peaceful and natural sheep skin.

Even medman is touting his base price point at $2.50


There are two companies shipping, there are around 300 companies in the process of becoming licensed so far. No need to hand out credit so easily to them, not with that price and not with the quality assurance they've displayed.


Chefboy, my criticisms are very valid and not of the MMPR in this case, but specifically of PNP, if your defense is as such you reveal you have no real defense, nor I suspect would PNP.
