Most affordable Skype doc - Canada MMPR

Heres the quote from HC regarding having over 150g/month or 5/g day:



There is only a possession and shipping limit of 150g. One could use and have a script for 150g per day and get a shipment everyday and never go above the possession limits.

thanks for the info, clears that up

Uh I did post the regs above....the regs didn't clear it up?
Anyways...thanks Chad.
Hey Chad, you wouldn't happen to have anything from HC regarding the splitting issue of multiple documents and multiple LPs?

Sure do:

If an individual wishes to purchase a variety of strains that are not all available from one licensed producer, the proposed MMPR would permit the individual to do so by obtaining a new medical document. They would have to discuss this with their health care practitioner. The health care practitioner would have to divide the daily quantity between multiple medical documents.

I thought they also had this statement on their Q and A section of the HC-SC site but a quick search didnt turn it up.

Sorry...My original post is moot since Pangea new post, so I have deleted it.

Thank You Chad for clearing up the mix up.

Peace...B

Key words: "same medical document" if a doctor splits it into "multiple medical documents" then you would be in the clear. A client can have 1 or 100 medical documents and use one of those per LP.

Yes. A medical user with a daily prescribed amount of 10 grams of marihuana/day would be able to purchase a 150g supply of marihuana on the 1st of the month, and can arrange to purchase and have another 150g of marihuana shipped for the 15th. This ensures that the client remains under the maximum possession limit of 150g, while having enough medication on hand to meet requirements.

Pangea...When did this change or has it always been this way???

I was sure that this was one of Conroy's main points, that a max of 5 grams a day(150g per month) was the maximum in the new MMPR program.

Or have they amended these two point, to achieve more of a chance with the case before/against Heath Canada??

If these two points were amended...What's to keep Health Canada from changing them back at a later date??

Not trying to stir things up again...Just trying to understand how I got it all wrong and so confused in the first place, as did, it seems, a huge amount of us. I and the others could be confusing the injunction and the actual MMPR regulation, slamming them together in some weird abortion of confusion and misunderstanding.

Thanks...Just trying to straighten out my head again.

Peace...B

It's always been this way.
They wrote it in a confusing way.
( look at the regs I posted for you....it's easy to see how people got confused )
A lot of people have been confused by this, you are not alone.
Cannabis Advocates had it wrong at the Champs Expo. I tried to explain it to them and gave up.
Re Conroy....It was the judge that imposed the 150g possession limit on existing MMAR patients, which just happens to be the same number as in the new MMPR regs.
I can see how it can be confusing.

It seems like its always been this way and people just misinterpreted exactly what the 150g limits are for. I was in that camp until someone enlightened me in the winter.

I could have sworn there was something that stated their intention to limit clients to 5g/day during the MMPR proposal period, but have not been able to find anything to that effect.

The girl I was talking to might have been just hired for the show?
I was asking on if there was a charge for a new document in case a patient has to change LP.
I wanted to know if there was an additional charge for multi documents.
I wanted to know the renewal rate.
She couldn't answer any of the above.
She told me the max dosage the govt allows is 5g/day, tried explaining that's not correct...
That's about the jest of it.

MCRCI, another company that provides this type of service was listed as an exhibitor but I didn't see their booth...coulda been my eyesight though..

I've seen a few popping up for cheaper than MCRI out in Ontario as well as BC. Prices will plummet once docs see that there is a real need for this and easy money to be made. Mini version of cali's initial medical market.

Our biggest concern is how the Colleges will respond. They are already making threats. Don't be shocked if there are some fines levied.
It is such utter bullshit the way the CMA and Colleges are handling this.

Big pharma having their say via the CMA? Maybe I'm just looking too much into it?
