i heard that too what a crock of shit. I wouldn't buy it the first time i am definitely not going to any time soon. Health Canada couldn't sell prairie farms crap so they are going to force us too buy it lol

PPS is pretty much the sole supplier to HC as of current MMAR program.. MMRP will force everyone to buy from a license producers.. Also you could only shop from one producer per subscription.. so if no one could get a licensee by the time MMAR is cancel (MAR 2014).. everyone must buy from PPS if they needed to stay legal... what a horse crap?

Milled and irradiated....LMAO. Must be tough to prevent mold in a old damp mine.

Anyone care to bet how long these guys will be in business?

Prairie Plant Plant Systems' Medical Marijuana Monopoly is Back | Cannabis Culture [url]www.cannabisculture.com CANNABIS CULTURE - Health Canada has awarded the first two licenses to produce medical marijuana under the government's new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) to Prairie Plant Systems (PPS) – the same company that produced heavy metal-contaminated, irradiated, and overall terrible can...[/URL]

Nature or my kids can grow better weed than praire farms. Just go in your back yard and throw seeds in the air. whatever grows would look better than that dust.

As to be expected, if you understand the new regulations. Did you really think differently? Just wait until they announce the many suppliers from outside Canada! Prairie Plant is nothing when compared to ordering from the Netherlands or Germany or any of those eastern blocks that also were allowed to apply. My lawyer laid this out for me months ago when I thought that I might be eligible for a production license. Its BIG business just like Pharmaceuticals. Hey maybe Physier or Monsanto can grow it for us...they were allowed to apply also! JAS

PPS and CML are "big business"?! And, other than federally regulated growers like Bedrocan, what foreign operations would qualify as suppliers equivalent to them, PPS or even MMAR growers?

From what I heard in recent reports, they have not been in the mine for some time and have a top-notch facility on the surface. As to longevity, if I read their website correctly, they have just ticked over into the 25 year zone, so smart money might be on them.

Really....well if they have a "top notch" facility why will PPS continue to irradiate their product? I can grow mold free Cannabis on a very modest budget, why cant they?

I can understand why they mill their product as it ensures consistency. But it also increases their yields by including plant matter most Growers throw away.

I'm sure PPS is a successful business outside of Medical Cannabis, but frankly their product is sub par to say the least, and that reputation is well known among the community. Both Medical and "Wreckreational" alike

With that being said, your obviously not part of that community and most likely here to perform damage control on PPS' behalf.

I have joined these boards as part of my attempt to help a family member who is looking to get their MMAR or MMPR ticket. I do bring a lot of experience in legal pharmaceutical production under GMPs: the regulations that ensure safe product for human use. I have experience making injectable products for clinical trials - safely. Yes, that likely sets me apart from this community. Irradiation is likely being done for the same reason Bedrocan and parts of the food industry do it; less risk to the patient which turns into less risk for the company. Another possibility is that Health Canada made them do it and now they would rather stick with it rather than risk switching away from a validated procedure. I can't find any credible published data that shows irradiation has any negative impact on the efficacy of their product or Bedrocan's. As to the milling, I see that being interpreted here as powdering with no evidence that is actually the case. Ditto the charge of adding in plant parts other than the flowering tops.

I'm not a Canadian but a close neighbor and I have a lot of respect for Canadians. I suppose this total sell out to a few big Cannabis corporations is purely the result of the same kind of right wing nuttiness we have in the US. Is this all fixed in concrete or would the liberals change the rules? I cannot believe it. Use ground up, irradiated weed from the bottom of a mine shaft or you go to jail? For $12 a gram? Who would go for that? Keep growing your own.

I don't advocate for prairie plant, their shit is garbage. Sadly most growers blame them for their crap when it was contracted that way with HC. Irradiate their product? What do you mean? I was in the process of setting their newly expanded facilities ad I saw no equipment like anything you speak of? HC set the THC% at 11-13%, this is the reason for milling product. Strains will consistently fluctuate 3-5%, this alone dictates how they sell. It wasn't ppe that has set the product type or quality and you can be dam sure that similar restrictions will apply to these new producers as well. Hopefully HC. our Government will keep their noses out of quality control,,,but I doubt it, why sell you a product at full potency when they can make you buy twice as much. Has nothing to do with human compassion at all. JAS

  • Irradiation is not mandated by HC - and if you grow a sanitized product you should not need to Irradiate​
