LOL @ marketing claims and those blinded by BS in a newspaper. Where are the peer reviewed results to back up those self made claims of leaders in the field?
I would have thought some of you guys could tease apart marketing from fact, don't you see this is a PRESS RELEASE?
Scientific discoveries are posted in scientific journals, NOT newspapers. Newspaper articles are designed to sway pubic opinion, not present facts.... LOL!
I'm really Medicated and I may have misunderstood the whole geist of the import and export part of the MMPR.
BUT...
If all this chatter about LP's and them being legally allowed to import and export Medical MJ is actually correct. I would venture to say that the Canadian Medical MJ user would be a very low priority to any, if not, all of the licensed LP's. If I had a LP's license and were legally allowed to import and export Medical MJ around the world to other Medical MJ nations(more and more coming online every day too!). I wouldn't even care about the Canadian Medical user, that's a small potatoes market at best, compared to the USA's market. I would be using Canada as a storage facility and purchase everything I could legally around the world, store it here, then ship to the USA as soon as possible. The United States is by far one of the biggest Marijuana markets in the world and they pay huge money compared to the rest of the world for good quality MJ.
After a while a LP could buy world wide and ship directly to the USA, via Canadian paper work, no need for even a warehouse. LP's could just flip our government big fat fee and taxes, with only needing to have a home office in Canada, with bare bones employee's, more or less a filing cabinet for the legal paper work. Canada, the nice polite country, totally taken advantage off one more time...Scary stuff, boys and girls.
Canada would have literally tons of Marijuana flowing in and out of its boarders and the Canadian Medical user would benefit...A big fat ZERO.
I hope I'm wrong and this scenario is just a over stimulated imagination.
Peace...B

Wonder why big pharma and tobacco comapaniesare not applying. I guess its easier to let others take the chance and then buy out the ones that are left over a year from now.
can you tell me where these government inspectors are going to come from and what are their credentials ? seems very fishy indeed. also, how many of us have grown or sampled, perfect pot, with 0 contaminants ??? seems darn near impossible, but I suppose TC starts would help
Marlboro is already looking at marijuana cigarettes for Colorado and Washington. Will only be a matter of time before we have Export "M" and du Maurier Green. Then we can look forward to all their lobbying power fucking us over even more. Can't wait!
If that happens we could probably expect research into what would make it more addictive, followed by ilegal additives, and then an explosion of cancer causing side effects....
Hey, i think i just figured out why they legalized marihuana....
This is an actual scary thought. There was an April Fool's joke about Marlboro producing marijuana. However when the story broke as a joke there was numerous interviews with people at Phillip Morris and they were rather evasive about the whole thing. Corporate mumbo jumbo about how it's not policy to discuss future business plans etc. I think the big pharma and tobacco companies are lying in wait, if national legalization or regulation comes we will start to see some major players entering the market place. Bringing all their lobbying power with them.
Sounds like a scam . The are only catering to under 1k people . Sounds like a way to create money and clean money in organized crime . All them biker license in one building
