No new LP's what is the holdup

[blastfrompast]

So does anyone else think something is going on in the back ground as to why no more names have been listed.

I know there have been reg changes, and manpower for inspections must be somewhat limited, but why hasn't there been more LP's added to the list?

I know with the injunction, there is some reluctance to invest, but is this the hold up as to why no-one has gotten past "Pre-Approval"

Buddy keeps saying next month...but I heard that last month too.

Your Thoughts?

futile gong show

 

[blastfrompast]

Is it due to the current LP's having issues? Mismanagement by HC? Recalls of contaminated product? Shady LP's?

It is amazing what you hear sometimes...Just trying to weed out fact from fiction.

yuppies, corp sharks, venture capitalists, wannabee's, gangsters, egomaniacs and politicians, need to step the fvck back and take a reality check...

Protection for the first lucky few... along with supply and demand. Wonder how many script canadians there r. And the avg they spend on meds... millions invested by the few already in the game... gotta expect the first few to be the most hooked up players anyway...

we were discussing this already

- no more looks at lics till the injunction (this is good it means hc is very worried about losing)

- anyone with under 100,000 sq/ft : sorry, not gona happen

- anyone not preapproved will have to wait as well

this is good for all us ppl growers. it means grandfathering for life, and a 10,000 sq/ft greenhouse built @ med-man labs come spring!

In case you forgot but ppl stands for "personal production license" 10,000sf is not for personal, that's commercial. That's the attitude that got the MMAR in trouble in the first place.

GG.

 

[Mikell]

That, and HC's complete incompetence setting up and implementing a program with no inspections on an industry regarded by the public as a fire and mould hazard....

 

[sourpuss]

Yes back to the old... sounds good to me...

You guys think they will open it back up to the license new ppl?

I guess we find out after the "The Constitutional Challenge Action" set between February 23, 2015 - March 13, 2015. If it turns out we are allowed to continue with self production...Health Canada will appeal it. Heath Canada doesn't want individuals growing for themselves. They only want a few corporate size producers...period!!

A situation that generates huge tax dollars and is controlled with ease.

Peace...B

So here is the part I don't get....

HC isn't licencing any new LP it seems....been a long while since a new name has been added to the list...changing regs..etc. etc.

With the current situation (lack of cheap quality meds) not changing without more LP's....

Doesn't NOT licencing new LP's help Conroy's case? You would think they would want a dozens more companies offering it up at 2-5bucks a gram.

Yes, one would think that.
I believe that HC doesn't have confidence in the other applicants to get past testing. Also it's too late now, we all know how long it takes to get product out the door.

Exactly my thoughts BFP, all those other losers can't get it right at $10+ a gram.

 

[diffusing]

I'm thinking the lack of new LP's are cuz they (gov/HC) are afraid of all these new public companies with 100+ml cash on hand suing the gov after the court case is resolved to satisfy their shareholders if the court case goes 'terribly wrong'. Dealing with 9 lawsuits is much easier than 1000. pissing off hedge funds and venture capitalist investors isn't a wise move financially or politically these days.. and in the end its all about politics and power. Nothing to do with patients at all.

 

[blastfrompast]

So are there companies out there waiting for a "final inspection" or confirmation that have grown meds and who are just sitting on them waiting for the go-ahead with HC.

Trying to wade thru the BS I keep hearing.....

kinda like being "pre-approved"...but with meds waiting to be shilled to the ignorant masses.

ie 2 months before the case...HC opens up the floodgates and allows 15 more LP's, who have already grown meds and passed inspections etc....cherry pick those who are offering cheaper meds.

 

[blastfrompast]

Holy fuck, no more smoking a half a spliffy before posting..

So if they open the floodgates, then the argument for lack of availablility goes out the window....and when sold for 2-4 a gram...the price argument goes out the window, seeing as they have said it stated cost 1-2 to grow it under PPL I believe....

 

[diffusing]

i cant see it being 2-4$/gram any time soon. why? they are public companies mostly now, and must do whats best for their shareholders legally. So, charging 10$/gram and selling all your stock is better for the shareholders than 3$. Not saying its right, but that's the way it goes now, considering there is close to 0 competition and a captive market. Unfortunately its the same in the pharma industry.. sad but true. A non profit LP or two would be refreshing.

A licensed producer(LP) CAN'T produce ONE gram before they are FULLY licensed...PERIOD!!!! They can't even have plants in Veg...Everything starts on the date the license is issued.

So it is to late to open the flood gates to cheap medicine. We all know it takes 3-4 months to Veg/Flower a complete mature crop. The government DID help Conroy huge by not licensing more LP before now. If they do license a bunch and they are offering medicine immediately...Something illegal is a foot.

Peace...B
