You clearly are associated with them or have a boner for them..everything you post is about organigram lol...which is fine but don't hide it..I saw the pictures of the Mongolian on Facebook and it had a ton of leaf on it..I asked them if it would have another trim on it and they said they were going to remove it. I have kinda been a supporter since they are in the Maritimes and what not but those buds were disappointing to say the least.

I also don't see how northern lights and Afghan ccrossed with skunk is a representation of Mongolian.

Same verse
Just like the first.

COMPLETE SHWAG!!!! along with all the rest of LP grown weed. Utter crap!
Definitely not medication grade guaranteed!

Patients will never buy this cac.

I find it amusing that there is the sense of celebration that their product was able to pass testing without irradiation. Were you holding your breath?
Care to talk about the quality of the product now? Stop jerking off Denis just because you got over one hurdle. It's a long race.

Yeah, but they are excited about it because no one else seems to be able to do it.
It is a long race, but being approve to ship irradiation-free product puts them ahead of numerous competitors already.

That said, having actual supply or anything remotely close to real product would put them ahead of everyone else.

....condition specific marijuana....isn't that one of those things that makes you go hmmmmm? And are they going to tell me what strains are going to work for my pain and muscle spasms? How do they know which strains are effective? Do they have customers specifically asking for strains? Why is there always so many questions when it comes to buying med mari through LP's?

Do you think HC will loosen the pharma testing standards in the future?

Doubt it. HC would have to be forced to do so or have some rationale for doing so.
If anything I expect them to become more stringent and I expect to see some very interesting things start happening in that area...

LOL, I just saw that. Newsflash: Northern lights#5 X Skunk1 = M39(which CAN be good if grown properly, just more of a commercial strain that's pulled early. Certainly nothing special or medical IMHO)

More stringent than the existing pharmacopoeias?

I don't think they'll get more stringent in those areas.
I think they're going to get creative and they're going to find a way to differentiate the product in the MMPR from the product "on the street" so that they can test for product origin.

I know of what you are speaking of....I thought it was bs when I heard that many moons ago.
Even if achievable, is it really adoptable and practical?

Yes. There are 3 major hurdles in my opinion:

1. Convincing people it's acceptable to add something to the plants that is traceable in the product
2. Getting the hardware into the right hands
3. Attempting to control the "traceable" magic so that the BM can't add to their own plants

Because of this, I'm starting to think it may be easier for them to setup a procedure that requires that all X be zapped out of the plant so that they can ensure that any plants that came from the MMPR would be devoid of X when tested.

I don't do biology or chemistry enough to know how feasible it is, but I know the RCMP wants something.

Well we both know this can be done.
What they wanted last year might be different from what they want next year.
If and when we are legalized. does it matter what is tagged as medical or not?
Will they care next year?

at double the price of BM weed their shit better be epic.. like I remember the first time I tried organigram weed, I woke up in bed the next morning on top of the blankets wearing all my clothes and shoes, I remember wanting to lie down for 2 secs, and now I feel great because I had the best sleep of my life

When it's legalized it won't matter. That said, the road to legalization usually includes steps of decriminalization, medically legal, full legal, etc. During those steps it can be very beneficial.

No idea what they will ever care about or if they will ever make up their minds.
The RCMP and HC are on different pages quite often from what I've seen.

Either way, I think we're going to have to get used to irradiation if the MMPR succeed because I assume that if they start dispensing/prescribing the product, those medical bodies (hospitals, pharmacies, etc) are going to expect consistency, reliability and cleanliness above all else, no questions asked. The commercialization of the product could change many, many things.

It's interesting stuff for sure...time will tell.

The saddest part is that if this does become regular practice then out go some of the medical benefits(Terpenes). Also, with there being no studies done on what smoking irradiated cannabis does physiologically to the body, I will have NO problems continuing to boycott the system. Maybe if they offered an irradiated version for people in those particular circumstances instead of irradiating a whole batch for the sake of a few people. Shouldn't need irradiation to begin with, how many dispensaries in Colorado, California, or any of the other 13+ medical states irradiate product? Hint: NONE. They all test. So WTF is the major problem up here?
