Hi, sorry about that. Wouldn't let me post a link as needed at least 2 posts and 2 likes.
Thank you Dman for posting the link.
This is the NS government official survey.

Purpose of survey? You want info, so do I.
Most people would like to know your greater purpose in this matter. You are pretty cryptic, why?
If you want information, then an explanation would help a lot.
Perhaps you might work for a corruptly influenced provincial government and are serving corporate interests. Set me straight.
That would have been nice up front. now the other questions
People might feel uncomfortable, since you're in the medical end of the forum and that is Federally covered, curious.

What ministry do you work for, or is it the premier's office?
I might be able to give you a call. Drop a name and phone number too, I might even be close by, you work for me too. Are you working from a website?
I'm eager to offer my input in a more in depth and meaningful way, in person and could help a politician to understand the issues. Create some empathy and remind some of the true purpose of the law, to protect communities and not make the well heeled and connected fortunes. Unnecessary regulations and restrictions on commercial growers are the usual exclusionary practice, only the wealthy and connected need apply, business as usual. Keep the retail price high, taxation should be based on health and social harm, a lot less than alcohol, if it is to be evidence based policy and not profit based.
The NSLC or pot commission need only buy 1 KG minimum from a small licenced grower and then, test and inspect. They would tax, put a label on it and sell to the private recreational dispensaries. If pesticide or bud rot (fungus) was discovered, the cannabis is confiscated and the grower earns an inspection and license suspension or ban. Simple, cheap, fast and effective. Similar to the success story in Colorado. But campaign contributions and other favors speak pretty loud at the table of power. High retail prices will lead to black market production and harm to kids. Price must be low enough that it's only worth it eventually to produce on a large scale, but for a market price. A kids first policy and the corporations will still own it in the end, they will just make a lot less money.
Your fortunate to have found an activist who has some expertise in this area, I would be happy to consult with the government on this issue.
Have a look here

Pot (mid forties) is less addictive than caffeine (mid sixties), so there's room to regulate and tax the shit outta Tim's too.

There are many measures of addictivity/dependance, not included on the top ten list is cannabis in this one. On a pure physical addictivity scale caffeine tops cannabis. Gambling is a dependency the NS government fosters, supports and profits from it, any stats on suicide rates, bankruptcies, divorce, crime related? I have heard that the province wasn't keeping track of these things, maybe they changed, share the information please. Shopping is another dependency that can ruin lives, so you don't need pot for dependency and it's non addictive too. Puts things into perspective and when you consider major health benefits for older adults are only a clinical trial away, perhaps a rebate program for the elderly.

Kids will still get it, but if the science and everybody thinks it's a bad idea and can make ya a bit stupider (if true) then, education will be real effective for this. Habits will be harder to address, but the truth is required, not propaganda, like my generation had, everybody laughed at it, even the narcs!
The smart kids will plant auto flowers outside, so seed sales might go local and be banned by mail (they are now, but the culture will change). That will be another issue, not one for me.

Sure. The plan outlined above to the ns government representative would encourage licenced small growers and lot's of market competition and pot bought by auction by the government, to drive the price down, free market with lot's of small players. The large capital intensive corporations would win in the end, with scale of production, but the profit and tax are real low. Market forces are the only way, harder access is all your gonna get out of it for kids. Education based on real facts will do the rest. even if no harm is done to kids, having a habit so young, limits education and life options. A change in culture is needed too. Small guys will keep the corps honest and supply the boutique bud market. Everybody is happy, except the greedy.

Not to worry, they won't do it anyway. It will be business as usual, you will just have to hang around the dispensaries to get some new business for the delivery man. Auto flowers and a little summer fun will go a long way... The old folks might like to get some with a pound or more a month too. In smaller communities the dispensaries won't sell much after awhile, with high retail prices, they will only attract customers for someone else....
Black marketing guys who don't grow but move pot, will make the most, in larger urban centers at least.

Cannabis is both nontoxic and an antioxidant. We already know that it doesn't harm cells, it actually regulates abnormal cells. Therefore, if cannabis is not harmful to cells, what would the age of the treated cells matter? I believe that cannabis can be beneficial to cells of any mammal of any age.
There are kids dying instead of being treated with cannabis. Do you know why? It's because there are too many people who claim that cannabis is harmful but they do not possess conclusive evidence that proves what it's harm is. Cannabis has a very negative stigma for no good reason.

Yep, science has been stifled, and 10s of millions have died and suffered as a result, for purely political reasons. The endocannabinoid system is primal with animal life, going back to sponges, close to 700 million years ago. It was and is used as a cellular communication system for these life forms. I conjecture, that the central nervous system itself might have evolved out of this system! Cannabis has only been around for around 100 million years? (flowering plants). So there might be more to be found and cannabis breeding and GM for specific cannabinoid content might be common. Modifying existing precursors, cannabinoids or analogs might be useful too. There might be many more involved in human metabolism yet to be discovered. See the link for the heath stuff . Recommended reading!

Figured you had an agenda. Talking about mom n pop shouldnt bother cuz big cannabis will win. Hows that working for alcohol? Ah yes micro breweries and distillerires are flourishing. A lot of people are sick of the garbage generic products major corporations produce and are returning to supporting the little guy

Reply to all: Do ya want the law they give ya? or do ya wanna say? I don't suffer from passive/aggressive syndrome, but I'am operating as a free normal human being with a political point of view. I'd like my voice heard too, the wealthy and greedy are not the only voices that should be heard. An I don't need to fill out a canned survey to communicate with my government, I elect them. Like many of you I have some expertise and knowledge in this area.
The feds are trying to do the right thing (for now) and I support them and their stated goals, I'm not evil or egotistical, though most who do this kind of shit are for sure, I wouldn't blame anybody for suspecting it and I'm not in the least offended.
If you disagree with me, don't scoff, but speak as men do to each other when they act out of goodwill. One of the things I noticed on the threads was a general lack of goodwill and helpfulness. Someone might lose their job and was seeking counsel and support, but he was not helped too much by the egotist and whiners, but only by the compassionate, most never even said "good luck" to the guy... Tells someone like me lots, more than most realize I suppose.
Figure that should cover the above.
Though tag team is fun too...

Ya could be right on that one fur sure, if I was as good as my cat, I'd be checking regularly, fur sure.
Ya gotta start act'n like a fuck'n citizen who own the goddam government! Yer not a snowflake in person I'll bet!
The rich will own it and the Gov will hunt ya down, unless ya own them too.
Simple argument, but someone's gotta make it and I don't like politicians or even any of this shit. I was living a nice and quiet on my own helpful thread when, they rattled my cage. Motives for actions are easy to discern, if your eyes are open along with your heart, what's shutting down yours?
Do you have a grub stake in this business? Then protect your rights and stop shitting on those who try to help you.
