Take a picture of your documents and keep everything on your phone. That's what I do with important docs, my medical paperwork, passport etc. Just don't loose your phone, I can wipe the phone clean if I did end up misplacing it.

I keep my papers in my vehicle. It's pretty rare I'm somewhere without it.

They are new and may simply not know why LP's should be boycotted, they may not know that these LP's have lobbied against them and their rights, been caught overcharging veterans because vets were basically a way to print money since the tax payers were paying for all of their scripts, are refusing to sell any starting materials or trying to sell other peoples genetics at astronomical prices ($750 for 5 clones that may not grow). There are a lot of reasons to boycott lp's but many people simply may not know.

Have your opinion. Make a thread about it.

The topic here is wait times for personal growing approval. I'm looking to grow my own for financial reasons. I don't mind paying a little extra in the mean time. I make enough to do so, in turn it helps support compassion pricing for people in worse places than myself. If you can't respect that, that sounds like a personal problem to me.

LP's get no love here.
i am curious how you buying from LP's help support compassionate pricing. that's a very interesting comment to me.

It's a business. Businesses need to be profitable until we transition to a star trek type utopian society. I'm all for that. Bring on the holodecks!

Can they make money selling to everyone at $5/g? Maybe. Depends on a lot of factors. Certainly not as much as at $8/g.
$8/g is reasonably in tune with black market pricing, unless you're buying large quantities, which most people are not.
If I pay $8, that essentially subsidises those paying $5. The LP'S have no obligation to provide compassion pricing. Its great many of them do.

It's no different than buying a car. Sure the manufacturer could offer them for less and make less profit. You could also build your own for whatever that would cost if you have the time and tools etc.
Should we all boycott buying vehicles by the same logic? Maybe the same argument could be made. Personally, I'm willing to pay what I consider a reasonable price for them to do the work for me.
Could they produce more cars than there is demand and drive the prices below the cost of production? Most likely, but doing so would be financial suicide. You see that practice with the giants like Walmart, operating at a loss to drive out competition and then jacking prices once they have done so. But you need a fat bank roll for that. LP'S don't have that yet, they are all bleeding money fighting for medical patients.

I'm using aurora as the lp in this example, I know other LP'S charge more than them in many cases.

This is a fledgling industry in Canada, it still has many growing pains to overcome. Building out of facilities, optimizations, etc. Also you have over production and competition for a fairly limited number of medical patients. After recreational this could very well change, when everyone has enormous facilities in operation and the market is flooded we may see prices drop if there is genuine competition.

Im sorry, but just NO. Theyve had what? 3-4 years and MILLIONS of dollars to "iron things out". They dont know wtf theyre doing in terms of growing, pricing, or anything aside from gaining investors. And buying from them in no way helps compassionate pricing in any form. Look at the recent fiasco with over charging veterans.

If people want to buy from LPs thats fine, not my gig. But please dont pretend they are compassionate in ANY capacity of the word, there is PLENTY of evidence to the contrary to be found on this board. From recalls, to over priced trim sold as medicine to $750 clones. Yup....all in the name of compassion of course......

i am not sure what to say. you're touting LP's a s a good thing.
you do know they use pesticides and "cold pasteurization" or irradiation on their products right?
we as patients were forced to buy from them or go to jail/get a criminal record.

if the LP's started out with patients in mind, they might get some love but charging the sick who are on fixed incomes those astronomical prices is crazy.
there's one that said a few months back they can produce for $1.75 all in but then charge $12 a gram...?? that's pure greed.

the LP's are too greedy to be considered as "for patients"

if this was purely for rec then i might agree with you.
comparing cars to medicine is not even close to the same thing. did you read about the company who got a patent for a life saving drug and then ran the price up 5000% per cent? same as LP's. they would get a lot more love and consideration if they considered patients before profits...give a decent product for a good price and the people would line up and they wouldn't be struggling.
there have been recalls and product shortages....if you don't get oi it right away, you miss out on the strain that really works...not fair. producing for ourselves really solves all the problems-price and supply. if the LP could satisfy those hurdles, again, they'd line up but instead they put their heads in the sand.

Tweed has come out and said they are going after the rec market. there's some honesty.

if these guys wouldn't tout themselves as the be all and end all for cannabis, they might get some love. no one likes to listen to blow hards who we know are lying their asses off. we had good quality and safe before they came along. if that wasn't true, why do so many cannabis users live so long? they aren't helping themselves by trying to save us from something we don't need saving from....we need saving from LP's and their high priced shwag.
i could go on but I'm rambling now so I'll stop.

I am glad you found a system that works for you

These guys don't care about compassion.....they care about your money.
I noticed nobody seems to agree with your LP glee.
