If just an employee then you must start from scratch...
Am I wrong? Please correct me if I'm wrong, because we are putting a lot of value on that aspect as we believe quality and different strains will be expected by the market

I read the MMPR and it really seems that to use an MMAR grower you would have had to had the deal done before March 31. I think now that the MMAR is extended, this does not change the March 31 end date for transfers of starting materials. Unless it was in the injunction I doubt MMAR growers will help now. I would start trying to find an alternative to MMAR growers for strains.

We have the business side / sales / production schedules etc down....what we lack is someone who's got experience, passion and a great foundational knowledge of how to grow quality vs quantity.

We would be partners, all the managment team / owners therefore it's not just a job per se.

We have interested parties for financing, venture capital firm from Ontario, Private investor from US as well as a well known US company that is in the ancilliary (but very lucrative and they're a first mover) product that wishes to invest in new start ups in this industry here in Canada.

As we have a solid business plan / financial analysis and industry research to tell us that it's a no brainer....we really would like to move ahead with someone who's already been producing, has a bank of strains and the passion to further research and develop not only better strains / different but also incorporating that growth knowledge to help with the eventual expansion to other parts of the market, the obvious being edibles when (and they will be) legal to sell in Canada....but by that time dispensaries will be part of the market legally, so that's something we've also incorporated into our plan...vertical integration eventually...but focused on getting things started ASAP . We do plan on having a agricultural specialist on board to help with QA as well as R&D, but believe that someone who grows and wants to continue is both more strategic for quality and production knowledge as much as a sound business decision financially, in that the risk level is considerably lower than having someone with great academic knowledge but no hands on, especially for years as some of you have been growing for.

If interested, please PM me or e-mail me as islandgreenpei@gmail.com. It's time sensitive too, as the venture capital contact has a big meeting with the company from the US market this coming Thursday May 8th, 2014....with our "teaser" prospectus for them ready, if we even have someone in discussions at that time, it would mean talks would continue with the VC firm. There doesn't have to be a nailed down plan, just broad strokes and the entering of a LOI (Letter of Intent) to discuss.

I really hope there are those out there that feel they could benefit with some top notch financial / business acumen with our team and the growing and production you can provide. Financial management is an absolute in the first few years, especially with a market that could be in the 100's of billions in 10 years......but natural growth is possible if structure of initial capital and talents are used properly!!!!!!

You may be serious? I've NO operation but my own 2-closet grow, but if you're able to get a grow established with your obvious $$$ power & yapper, I've been growing OD for 14 years &
medical grades since 2011; I have 3 strains of Fem. seeds - Blueberry, Northern Lights & Jack Herer (yes!) plus 5 different F1 strains developed, ready for feminizing, pollen collected fresh this week and I come with an innate knowledge of the symbiosis of plant/grower!

I am a wizard of specialty-strain growing & have a grasp of the balances required for individuals varying needs.

But sorry - I have no Capitalist standing or value that you can steal and pervert to a get-rich-never victimization!

Peace Light Love Truth i am adavida

The R&D is also a huge part of our business....breeding (assuming u mean combining current strains to create new ones???) but we also want to focus on legitimate medical trials in conjunction with Dr's and other health professionals so that we can have some scientific data (as we heard this week, the CMA is not backing it due to this fact)....this Research and testing would provide two distinct pieces of info....that the drug DOES HELP As well as hopefully identifying strains that work better for certain medical conditions....thereby legitimizing it and also showing that yes we're a business, but at the end of the day it's important to be trying to help people that are ill while also creating a legitimate profitable business

How do you create a "business" that is legitimate if it takes profit from those in need?

How is it "legitimate" to profit from illnesses CAUSED by Capitalism/Fascism? You are one confused man! What kind of off-strain skank-weed are you smoking, you poorly directed, intellectually-bankrupt moron?

If you started with seeds, soon enough you would have top quality, yet a totally different product than the competition(all the same clones). The most important part is a crew of people skilled enough to make great selections from many seeds. The MMPR doesn't allow smoking as testing either and that's a problem as well. If we could overcome these things the MMPR could allow for such an amazing breeding program.

What ARE you saying/asking/talking about? Smoking is NOT testing for medical cannabis!

I would urge you to get a grip on your flatulence - smoking is not a medicine! Smoking helps to ease the minor symptoms of many serious conditions and so does 'aspirin', but ingestion of cannabinoids as a dietary supplement is the true medical mode!

Many of our cannacommunity are as ignorant of the truth of this Divine key to all Life on Earth as are your own Docteurs! adavida

I am not crazy about big business either, but please respect your ICmag brothers and sisters. Big business is the way of the world, it is the consumer that creates it. Do you want to pay extra for a well made product or want it cheap? You sound like you want it free!
I see your concern for patients, but I think Canadians should push for medicinal marijuana to be covered by insurance/disability as most medications are. Then let the market control the price, just like all legitimate industries.

Concentrates are still illegal for medicinal use in Canada, so how do you consume your medicinal herb? This is a thread about a business under MMPR, if you want to spew negative nonsense please open a thread for it.

Start your breeding program without smoking your herb, and I will smoke mine , lets see your strains compete! We both will do Cannabinoid and terpene tests, and I do smoke tests. I am a recreational and medicinal user. These MMPR businesses will end up in the recreational business soon enough. My strains will work for both, your strains probably taste like hay.

You are correct, and in the near future this will change for all of Canada. I was just tying to get our angry friend(krush) here to see why any breeding program would be better off test smoking herb as well as the normal lab tests. Even high CBD strains can be bred to taste good when smoked. As long as the strains have the overall cannabinoid and terpene profiles required for the medicinal application in question, then why not also make them taste good and enjoyable to smoke! Then let the consumer decide whether to smoke, juice, make oil,etc.

Off is the direction in which you can fuck. I HAVE to either smoke or vaporize for my condition. Tested tons of strains grown in tons of different conditions and in every possible method of ingestion. I need large fast acting doses of specific cannabinoids (not THC) to treat my chronic migraines. Maybe you should do a little research before you open your mouth. I've heard this from doctors who refuse to even consider marijuana as a possible medicine purely on principle and it pisses me off to no end.
