Pro Harper? Have you read anything Canadan? Try despite Harper. Seems to me that the LP's are the only ones looking for solutions to support patients. How is your whining helping anybody? Where are your solutions? How is the MMPR pro Harper? You think Harper wants to mass produce marihuana? I'm sorry if I interrupted you while you all were crying in your beer, but the bar is closing and Conroy hope is not enough for me, I have to move forward, legally.
Medicalgirl66, we all hear you and feel your frustration. Your post is common and no one here thinks it is fair, right, or just. What I have come to realize though is that the MMAR is on it's deathbed, it will die of suicide by over indulgence. It is digesting itself in an unsustainable cacophony of corruption, Hells Angels and stoned teenagers were but a small part in the litany of problems. It is not coming back, Conroy might win, but the MMAR is not coming back. What Conroy wins might help you and others, and that is why you should support him if you can. Many of us wannabe LP's have donated too.
Spider 9 would choose death rather than get some high quality marihuana from a small/patient run/ LP that supports its community. Hmmm. This site and in particular, this thread is pro marihuana and that is what we should all get from this. Don't shit on people for taking a different path to spreading the good word(bud). I wish there was more legal ways to spread marihuana too, everybody that has posted here that I have read, is in favor of you being able to grow your own medicine.
Maybe we should give up trying to grow cannabis legally, joining canadan and spider9 among others who might fight, but only if they have to, if arrested.
What I believe is that losing our newly discovered voices that we have been provided by the legality of our PUPL's and DPPL's is a loss only second in size to losing our legal self grows. For me, who thinks of herself as outspoken about marihuana, the MMPR is the only way to keep my soapbox legal. Without the license to grow marihuana our voices are muted, I want to speak out as a grower, not a toker.
Soon the only voices that will get heard will be the patients(one voice), the LP's, and HC, and then where do you think the influence will come from? Just need to follow the money. So do you want big pharma calling all the shots? It is time to start differentiating between the LP's, and support the good ones, so that patients, who can't keep their grow as "protest grow", just don't know how to grow, or don't want to support the black market, can still get quality medicine at a fair price.
Money grubbing ripoff? The costs of producing legal marihuana, can now be seen above ground, in the light, no secrets. Maybe you should check it out before you give us those old, used up, proven false, trinkets, found on almost every thread. Marihuana is expensive to grow right. Add responsible security and consumer safety and the means to market it. And the prices will go up, but if you factor in time and new production rules, long term, the prices will drop dramatically as farms get larger and competition blooms.
Not rocket science, just easily ignored by people who just want to keep getting their medicine subsidized, or keep there illegal incomes. I've said it before the MMPR is not your enemy, HC is all our enemy. Blame HC, not LP's, MMPR and MMAR are not connected, the success of one does not mean the death of the other, the patient(MMAR) is on their deathbed already, the legal ways forward are few, lets support all the ways to increase the amount of cannabis there is available to patients.
Quit telling us that we want to rip off the sick, another old trinket, are doctors and nurses ripping off the sick too? They make their living (a good one too) off the sick and dying. Maybe you should mention that to your doctor the next time your getting that closed mind of yours checked out Spider9.
Please, please keep posting your opinions and situations, as a fellow patient, we are all in the same HC sinking boat, the S.S. MMAR. Like rats we our all choosing are escape plans, some are choosing to wait and see, some are jumping ship to the S.S.MMPR, some are choosing to commit suicide (one at least), others are going to sue for it, bravely suing even though the shore is not in site. Goodluck to all of you except the suicide, may you, Spider9, be unsuccessful and end up smoking the best you ever had out of a labelled, legal bottle in a couple years.
