I have an ATP so I could go with the black market, but decided to go with the MMRP first (and don't have a hook up with the black market) so to me when I find an LP that does it right I'm sticking with them, I have no issues with dropping one if they start with irradiated MMJ and waiting to sign up with another as it's been years and years of total pain everyday... so whats a few more days.... worse case scenario because I have my valid ATP I could rightly get black market weed and still be legal (one thing with black market weed is you never know what your going to get, could help ... might not be the right strain and there's always the possible dry up.

Did you have a DG before this mess started?

Wow... That is NUTS! And the new mandatory minimums are in effect as well, aren't they? 6 plants = 6 months = done deal, correct?
These fuckers man...

I'll gladly forfeit my whole position in Tweed if it meant getting this fixed.... I'm glad I popped on here -- I can see the breadth of the problem a little better now....

If the GOV would let me grow enough of it in my backyard I'd be giving the stuff away for nothing haha. That is seriously disgusting. But you still have a personal production license that is valid? I heard that the courts said that they're allowing old licenses (under the MMAR) to be used until the LP and weed shortage situation gets worked out -- so by that merit are you "allowed" to grow right now?

This country's judicial system is something else.... You can show your wang to kids on a playground and be in less trouble than for growing weed.... Unreal....
Ya I am just about to start to grow a purple strain, so should be great, but what is with all the US interest, Tweed seems like it's American money?, what they don't realize, is that this is not a recerational model like there's, you can't go window shopping for that special Blue Cheese here.

Old licences under MMAR are status quo per court ordered injunction of March 21, till the results of a court case scheduled for Feb 23/15 are ruled on.
Keep a watch out for a cross apeal in a few weeks there is 3 issues on the docket, the 150g limit, MMAR access to DG's which should be under stats quo and MMAR patient access back date to Sept 30 2013, so if we win cross your march date will be covered, don't jump don't pannic, there's lots of fun to come.

stay intouch with court updates and Medical Cannabis news, login to the Coalition and maybe make a donation as we have a ways to go and litigation is not cheap.

At about a buck higher than where it sits right now....And I thought we were all thinking the same positive energy given the super HIGH volume of trades at that point.

I'd consider getting more if the downtrend continues and sends us to $1.00 or less.... (which I hope not).... But based on their facility alone I would think they would HAVE to rekindle their position at some point over the next year....

But then I'm hearing about a new court hearing next Spring which might result in more law changes (which I wouldn't be adverse to if they are COMPASSIONATE and for the patient). I don't mind losing out on this if it's for the greater good at the end of the day, but I hate being lied to by a company and losing money based on bullshit hype and fluttery emotions one way or another...

They should have pushed back until their second batch was ready and maybe have sent out some better product.... Might have been better publicity for them, especially if the meds aren't sufficient for the patients.

I know there's a lot of other people who want to slander Tweed for their own personal reasons, having connections with other producers, etc, or wishing for the old system to return.... So it's difficult to sift through all that and not let our emotions get the better of us....
Wow! Where have you been hiding? An investor not worried about his money but concerned that patients get the best? I have to keep repeating this to myself.Welcome.

Why does each LP have their own medical document?
I don't believe that is a HC regulation. Pretty sure HC just states what has to be on a medical document, not that each LP has to have their own...
What happens in a year from now, is every doctor supposed to have 50-100 different medical documents on hand?
That's another form of bogus marketing. They want to give doctors their unique forms so that doctors funnel them clients every time they use it as a scratch pad, thus capitalizing on their laziness and ignorance.

Same with the rest of their "Doctor Education" information, which is cherry picked from that given to them by Health Canada, presented out of context and with a biased twist. "Generally it's best to start with a low potency strain". That's absolutely ignorant of what the studies actually correctly say, as provided to them by Health Canada.

The studies actually say that higher potency is healthier because you naturally use less of it, and that patients self titrate accordingly. So where does this "lower potency is generally safer", bullshit, come from? Propaganda, which ignorant doctors will eat up. That reaffirms their ignorance. How is that "educating" them?

The problem is, they intend on growing a lot of low potency weed. It's something that bad growers to very easily. So they're bullshitting doctors into prescribing it specifically, against what the actual evidence says would be best. I believe that's also the reason why so called billionaire "Advocates" for "decriminalization" who have stated they would like to be in the growing business, want it regulated at a "60's potency level", which they said is a maximum of 2% THC. That rules out the competition that would be willing to go the extra mile and produce quality.

Same thing here. If they manage to convince a doctor that his ignorance is accurate, which is very easy to do, and one LP is regarded for high quality product while the other not, which prescription pad will said ignorant doctor be reaching for between the two?

They've said they'll be providing strains which have and have NOT undergone irradiation -- so it will be up to the consumer....

But shipping immature / wet buds is another issue.... I think they just fast-forwarded to try to meet a demand and failed with their first attempt...

As was previously mentioned, there is money there, but we cannot be guaranteed as to where money is flowing into.... I just hope they improve their conditions there -- whatever it is that is polluting their buds (old Hershey Kisses or what?) and not refrain from further man-made quick-fixes...
"Another bad batch u guys..... GREAT NEWS... your selection has just opened up".

The problem with all this "So far" stuff is that almost all the product being sold right now came from the MMAR system.
I know this flies in the face of what some people are saying, but most of the product that has needed irradiation or has been reported as having mites, etc all came from MMAR operations and was brought into their facilities to finish growing and to ship. Some, from what I understand, was already packaged and ready to ship and they simply bought it and shipped it off with their labels (after testing of course).

Once these guys have fresh strains that they've taken from start to finish I would expect the quality to increase substantially.

The other problem is that companies like Tweed were approved before the "new" QA standards came into place and things got tougher. Security requirements, QA requirements, etc all increased over time and most of it happened after Tweed was already approved and working in their facility. My personal theory is that there was a deal made somewhere to let them get going quickly and produce bulk product to solve for the problem and then they would impose all the hard times after that was established so they aren't holding back the entire industry.
Nonsense. They made it MMPR weed when Health Canada gave them express permission to pass it off as such. It was supposed to come from equivalently regulated facilities at first, but it obviously all didn't. Just because it passes whatever test doesn't mean we know everything about it either. This is MMPR weed, that passed MMPR tests, with MMPR labels, by MMPR distributors, that has been subject to recall. The other recall they grew themselves. MMAR weed.. never been recalled, although plenty of cannimed product has been returned. All of that is besides the point.

It's funny to me how MMPR's Tweed seems to always universally refer to plants as "strains". It's interesting that you've done the same here. Reeks of shill.

Security requirements, QA requirements, etc, haven't increased or changed since the MMPR rolled out. This sounds like BS and it sounds like an insider's cheap excuse. It's pretty common and expected for large projects to fail on an inspection or two, for whichever corners they cut. That doesn't mean that the requirements of the program have changed at any point in time, or caused your company any greater duress than they brought on themselves.

Bullshitting us with shill accounts while lurking in the shadows is a stupid move.
