Why bother these days. I didn't bother getting my old doc to sign for me this year so going solo. I never did go thru Hellth Canaduh to get legal in the 8 years or more that I was getting a doc to sign. I never once had to pay to get it done and the paperwork isn't that hard for HC and it's free. 5 months waiting for my firearms permit and I had to pay $65 for that plus the $125 for the class.
Just going to do one indoor grow a year now. Still have a few pounds lying around in the freezer I haven't got around to making RSO with yet but soon now that I have all my glassware together.

As a DG for a quadriplegic since '08, it was stressful worrying about being legal with annual police background checks, applications, doctor's note and HC processing approvals. No one ever came to check if I was within plant limits they set for us. The patient will never walk again, so we agreed to forego the legal route a few years ago. Plus, I hated going to the cop shop.Why bother these days. I didn't bother getting my old doc to sign for me this year so going solo.

You can mail clones in Canada too, I bought a few mail order ones, so sending a rooted clone is not a big deal.

Yeah but you do not sleep 30 feet from your next door neighbour. And they were pissed at me when some of my exhaust drifted into their house (resolved it). The meeting with a doctor is covered by Healthcare, the consultation with a person to discuss growing isn't. And it seems they can charge whatever they want. And I used to stay legal as it did not cost me much and things like my firearm licence is safe and sound.Why bother these days.

I never had luck with growing Dinamed CBD. Fluffy and not very sticky, I still have a few seeds. I have a grow going right now, next year is a question mark, I need to gut the basement and vacate in order to have foundation work done. I bought some CBD isolate and just growing to add some THC to it. You remind me of a story with a work buddy. Before I got my first prescription he said he could get me a little to try. I told him not to bother as I did not want him to get in any possible trouble. Then after I got my grow certificate he shows me a picture of his 249 plant certificate. That is when I hit him on the arm. Here I am concerned for him and he is swimming in the stuff. It was a funny moment. Thank you, I will keep you in mind if the need arises.

That's why I added the YMMV. My closest neighbour is half a km upwind of me and wouldn't bitch even if he could smell pot so I've never used the carbon filter I bought years ago. $170 for that damn thing too but it's all sealed up so I should sell it to support my fishing gear re-addiction.
20 years ago when my wife applied for AISH, (AB gov't disability), users all had to renew every year at a cost of $160 which is ridiculous for someone with a permanent disability. Same BS with the medpot permits. Now she just has to submit her financials annually to prove she is still low income so they should have something like that for the ACMPR.

Yeah I was thinking of just getting prescribed and the heck with the licence and finish off the grow I have right now. Just a variety of strains as I want to find if any of them rub me the right way, I was out of the pot thing since the 80's and a whole world opened up. The whole hassle has me wanting to fight with WCB (Workmans Compensation Board for our American friends) as my condition was brought on at work. But I know they will reject me again (three times and then won them on appeal) and I will have to go up against the Appeal Board. I have not gone through the process yet as I was a mess when I left work, ten years of fighting while in pain will do that. Emotionally much better shape than I was four years ago but I am trying to to take care of the house foundation mess. At best probable be two years before I have a functioning workshop in the basement, at least I can build it the way I want it rather than putting up with the previous owners design.That's why I added the YMMV.

Opinion: Unnecessary and costly moratorium threatens a prosperous market
A basic consultation process would have prevented some chaos unleashed by the Alberta government's unexpected moratorium on renewables.

After all, natural gas is clean, you burn it and it disappears. No ugly windmill that kills birds and causes cancer.

Manitoba PCs promise expanded parental rights in schools if re-elected
The Manitoba Progressive Conservatives say they want to expand parents' rights over what their children learn in school if re-elected this fall.
While some community members applaud the move, which they say would address concerns over materials they consider inappropriate, others worry it could lead to a chilling effect on teachers.
"The teachers and school staff do incredible work educating our kids, but parents want to know what's going on in the day-to-day lives of their children," PC Leader Heather Stefanson said at a campaign announcement in St. Vital Park on Thursday.
The Public Schools Act enshrines seven basic rights of parents. Those rights include the right to be part of a parent advisory council and to consult with teachers about academic achievement.
Stefanson says the list hasn't been updated since 1996.
"There wasn't the texting, there wasn't the cyberbullying," she said.
The PCs list four new rights they would like to add, following consultations with parents and teachers:
Inappropriate content
Felicita Ovadje doesn't have children, but she worries about the content of some of the books children have access to in schools.
"There are a couple books that had sexual education and sexually inappropriate content," the former lawyer and beautician said.
"I know that the motive behind it might not be bad, but the problem is ... children are not fully developed to really process that information. So I feel like books should be scrutinized a whole lot more," she said.
Ovadje wants schools to work collaboratively with parents to help raise their children.
Stefanson was asked if the rights would include informing parents if a child expresses a different gender than what they were assigned at birth.
She answered yes, adding that would be part of the consultations into the changes.
'Dog whistle'
One former school teacher and parent says many of the rights the PCs are promising already exist.
School boards provide caregivers a way to influence their children's education, and Marc Kuly — a professor of education at the University of Winnipeg and a member of advocacy group People for Public Education — worries the party is responding to efforts to limit access to materials about LGBTQ people.
"My first response was confusion, my second response was, 'Oh no, I think this is trying to rally support for a suspicion about schools,'" said Kuly.
Earlier this year, a petition to remove books dealing with transgender people and other sex education materials sparked fierce opposition in the Brandon School Division.
Kuly sees parallels with the PC policy and changes introduced earlier this year in New Brunswick, preventing schools from using the chosen names and pronouns of children under the age of 16 without parental consent.
He also sees connections with laws introduced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis limiting the ability of teachers to discuss issues of gender identity and sexual orientation in classrooms.
"I do see connections to what's going on in New Brunswick and in the United States, and the connection is the political hay that can be made by convincing parents that there is something afoot in schools that could endanger their kids," he said.
"That's concerning, not because parents should just trust schools, but because parents should find out, not be led astray down a path of presuming that something nefarious is going on."
NDP Leader Wab Kinew echoed those concerns.
"Heather Stefanson and the PCs are trying to divide Manitobans. In this case, they're very clearly blowing a dog whistle about LGBTQ folks," Kinew said in response to a question from a reporter at a campaign announcement on Thursday.
Liberal Leader Dougald Lamont questioned whether the changes the PCs are calling for will do anything to improve education outcomes for kids.
"The reality is that there are too many kids in Manitoba [who] can't read, write or do math, plenty of them are hungry, and there is no air conditioning in many schools across the province," Lamont said in an email statement.

She really cut it close on the timing of announcing that pause on renewable energy. I would bet there are high fives in the boardrooms all across the province, money well spent on keeping her around.

He needs a "handler" because he doesn't have a heart to guide him along the path of wisdom, a brain without a heart is a dangerous thing. I don't think Jordan's remedial education will do much good, but it sure does burn his ass!
