well if the health canada intention is to create a thriving black market they are right on track
does anyone think that there is going to be huge demand for milled down shake at $14+ a gram when unmolested(well sorta) street weed is way more readily accessible and priced better?
overpriced bunk
15 grams max in a pack
shipping charges
HST
+ dispensing fees
recipe for success LOL
There was an article about a month ago, in the Vancouver Sun, the Mayors Union of the Fraser valley of BC wanted all the names and addresses of MMAR participants in British Columbia(I will try to find the article and post it here in this thread).
They were totally denied, because MMAR participants are protected by the Canadian Privacy Act and the Charter. Why the Mayors wanted the addresses was because once the MMAR program is shut down completely and the MMPR is in total effect and force, Health Canada, no longer has a legal contract with any of the people enrolled in the MMAR program. HC will no longer have a legal contract with anyone that was a member in the MMAR program(PPL, DG, or just a Authorization to Possess). What this means is...HC can no longer inspect, request entry, or enforce any of the regulations of the now defunct MMAR program without a court order or search warrant.
The only way anyone can get a search warrant is by illegal means, which makes any evidence found inadmissible in court.
The Mayors Union is worried some MMAR patients will not shut down or dismantle there grow areas and there is no way to make sure that they have complied and there is no legal way of forcing them to comply. They can request, but since there is no longer a legal contract between HC and its members, participants don't have to comply. So...with that in mind, if you comply to the request of destroying all your medicine except 150 grams as of April 1/2014, it will be appsolutely up to you and a personal choice. No government agency will be able to confirm that you complied to the request of destroying all plants, all medicine(except 150 grams) or dismantle the grow area by the end date of the MMAR without a search warrant.
Personally...I grew it legally, I'm legally allowed to keep and use it.
Let them prove I only said I have complied and destroyed everything .
Peace...B
Did your letter come with;
Health Canada
Marihuana Medical Access Program
clearly visible on the envelope?
Thanks HC for the blatant lack of privacy and security.
My mailman and half the town now know.
Not very smart HC, lots of possible ramifications to this blunder in security.
Honestly this probably came down to the cheapest option...regular mail is cheap for mass mailings...
Now violating section 8 of the privacy act...not so nice.
