I thought Lps werent allowed to advertise. ...

That's kind of the problem with marijuana I guess. Is it a medicine? Well yes, there's obvious medicinal/health benefits. OK is it an intoxicant then? Sort of, while it has psychoactive affects the actual toxicity of marijuana falls somewhere between a cup of coffee and a beer. Is it a herbal remedy? Well it's all natural, unprocessed in bud form, so yes. Is it a food product? People juice and eat various parts of the cannabis plant as well as use it in food preparations so it can be. Marijuana doesn't fit into any of the handy categories that governments like to put shit in, so it seems like they are trying to put it in all of them as they see fit.

Its considered a controlled substance and therefore that is where the advertising regulations come in.

I consider google adwords to be advertising

The NCR defines "advertisement" as any representation by any means whatever for the purpose of promoting directly or indirectly the sale or disposal of a narcotic.

Section 70 of the NCR states that:
70. No person shall
(a) publish or cause to be published or furnish any advertisement respecting a narcotic unless the symbol “N” is clearly and conspicuously displayed in the upper left-hand quarter thereof or, if the advertisement consists of more than one page, on the first page thereof;
(b) publish or cause to be published or furnish any advertisement to the general public respecting a narcotic; or
(c) advertise in a pharmacy a preparation referred to in section 36.

Licensed producers must also respect section 9 of the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) with respect to advertising.

Section 9 prohibits the advertising of any drug in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or likely to create an erroneous impression regarding its character, value, quantity, composition, merit or safety.

Section 72 of the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations also prohibit any reference to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Food and Drugs Act or any regulations made under those Acts on a labels or advertisement for dried marihuana, unless the reference is something specifically required under these Acts or their regulations.

Section 72 states that:
72. It is prohibited to include a reference, direct or indirect, to the Act, the Food and Drugs Act or any regulations made under those Acts on a label of or in an advertisement for dried marihuana unless the reference is a specific requirement of either of those Acts or those regulations.

You will note that the provisions above do not specify what is allowed, but discuss what is prohibited. Flexibility is given to the licensed producer to work within these requirements.

HC will bend over backwards for LP's right now. They asked for and can use pesticides; that asked,that their growing facility location not be disclosed. This is just more smoke and mirrors to make people think they are doing a good thing for all partie concerned. Just because it says they "may" the actually "may not" more times. Just because it's "prohibited" doesn't make it " forbidden".

so I googled mmpr Canada and first Zenabis came up but the next time I did it Zenabis came up as well as AMAManagement business consultants,Vancouver based. So everyone can do what they need to do to get the new program up and running except patients, mmar patients, who do not support the new program.
