Anyone else feel lost? New Medical Cannabis laws.

There was a correction reported on this story. Apparently Canada is not looking to import Cannabis from Uruguay.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/correction-uruguay-marijuana-story-21481564

"there are currently no plans to encourage the import of cannabis from Uruguay or any other country and no negotiations on the matter have taken place between the governments of Canada and Uruguay."

While that may be true, Canadian MMPR license holders can and are.

hey randon user

set up 1-2 600w ers and grow 5 plants and grow your own. dont waste your time with these nincompoops

med-man

Thanks for your advice. I actually have a few 1000w a few 600w a 400w and 250w lights ballasts, hydro system etc.

It is sitting in my closet doing nothing.

The reason I have my medical license is very bad rheumatoid arthritis in my hands, wrists, shoulder feet and knees. Some days I can barely take care of myself, let alone plants. I am 29.

When you add to the mix that I have children, even having my wife help me maintain the plants is not an option.

Growing unfortunately is no longer an option for me. I have been through a gauntlet of medications with my Rheumatologist. Including my personal favorite, methotrexate, that one really made me feel like shit.

Forgive a grown man for tearing up as I write this, but I just want to live my life as comfortable as I can. I work with my doctors, but I have lost my job and my benefits due to my condition. In the process of trying to obtain social assistance.

Why are they making it so hard for us to just medicate in peace, to enjoy our lives as best as possible.

So go ahead folks, bicker about CBD this or CBN that. But when you are done, if you have any real advice, I will be here.

Thanks for the links Buddha1, I will check them out.

I'm also sitting on a bunch of shiny new equipment. I bought a new home and it's all just sitting in my garage. With all the stupid stigma I'm too scared to do anything with it, even if it's just growing a couple of plants and building a stealth cabinet.

I'm really tempted to get a few-plant grow going but this is such a headache. It took me years and years to finally get my license because I do have a legitimate need. Then right after I get it, Health Canada absolves themselves of their "wrong doing" and gets rid of the "terrible and abused MMAR program". What a bunch of cocks. Not everyone is a gangster and growing 500 plants over their limit, yet we all get lumped into the same category.

I've got boxes stacked to my garage ceiling and I'm almost ready to just leave it curbside. Others are trying to sell their stuff and getting no bites, so it's almost cheaper to just ditch it rather than pay to take it to the dump. So pissed off.

It's always the few, that ruin it for the many.

That being said...

Yes, there are a lot of people abusing the MMAR. BUT...there are many more people using the MMAR properly, as it was meant to be used. If the Harper government did there job with enforcing the regulations of the MMAR program, no new program would be needed...Period.

IMO...The fault of the failure of the MMAR program, falls entirely on the Harper government.

But as usual the government has turned everything around, blamed the participants(all participants) of the program. If a Doctor gives out multiple large prescriptions of morphine again and again, the Doctor is immediately asked why(by the government), and what is the situation for these large and frequent prescriptions. The Doctor has to be responsible and have a reasonable explanation or he/she will go under investigation for possible criminal charges or at the very least, lose of there medical license.

This was never done with the large prescriptions for Medical MJ or the Doctors that handed them out. Medical MJ is no different than any "Triple Script", and should have been handled in exactly the same way. In the past 3 years I have had friends and acquaintances, granted absolutely huge gram/day licenses, all handed out by the same handful of Doctors(for a large set price).

The Harper government is using its inconsistency and lack of Due Diligence, and blaming it on the participants of the MMAR to introducing a new program, the MMPR, so all there rich and powerful friends can control the Medical MJ in Canada. In return for this gift of Medical MJ's control, the Harper government will, I'm sure, get a huge gift in return. Conservatives never do anything for people in the working classes or anything that can't be used at a later date to self promote themselves or there political party, in some way or another.

Sorry for the rant and taking my post off topic.

Peace...B

I don't think 10g of resin a day is a lot . Seeing how it takes like 100g a day of marijuana bud to produce 10 grams of resin . Most people avg 5 gs a day of marijuana bud which is way too small for me . I understand the effects of marijuana and I don't smoke it . I belive the delivery system most people with the avg 5g script use is crude .

comparing cannabis and morphine scripts is not a good example . I suggest if your doc thinks a lot of morphine is good for you then you must find a new doctor

I also suggest if your doctor signs off on 5 grams a day for you to smoke you find a new doctor that thinks you should be using 50+ grams a day and consume it in a healthier means .

All the medicine in the bud is contained in the resin as far as I understand so why you want to consume all that leaf I have no idea . 90 grams of leaf for 10 grams of medicine .

Seems to me if they knew how to separate the 2 then that's how they should do scripts . Oh wait we already know how .
 
Even better grow some tomatoes, cukes, peppers whatever you want :)

The MMAR wasn't designed properly and the people who abused the programs ruined it for everyone. And now their pockets are fat and we have 150 gs?

I can't wait for someone else to run this country

Either your tolerance is outta sight or something is wrong...

10g of decarbed extract is a rather large amount to ingest, never mind dabing/smoking....

10g of RSO a day would green most people out..

Unless your eating undecarbed extract I can't see how you would function...

can you explain how your ingesting 10g a day?

Even smoking 10 grams per day (30 joints) goes beyond being functional all day.
