Government announcement

soooo who speaks French?

so far all they are doing is saying what they will do. they will be "talking" so this isn't much of an announcement

So far 2 questions had nothing to do with the topic at hand. I missed the actual announcement itself. Philpot may have inadvertantly opened a can of worms if they dont allow for home grows. She mentioned other substances have government regulation, and brought up the tobacco act. Well that act actually allows for personal growing of tobacco up to a certain amount of Kilo's

I guess I didn't think about them telling us something we already knew....

yawn...

bla bla blah...

nothing so far but Blair is still avoiding self growing as it harms kids.
always the same argument.

blah blah blah

here's the news on what was said. it's not even over yet...??

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberals-marijuana-task-force-1.3659509

did they talk about illegal dispensaries yet?

lots of doctors on the panel...given that anne thinks mj is worse than smokes, I think she is the best choice to lead the charge...

someone should ask a question about marc emery and cannabis culture rec stores lol

23 minutes of blah blah blah

let's see what the task force (experts) come up with !

They are all skirting around the issue of home grows for both med and rec because it is not a 'benign substance'. Either is alcohol or tobacco, both of which are allowed to be produced for personal consumption. Do they actually think the public is going to accept that? Add in the fact that 100 years of prohibition in Canada created some of the best cannabis growers in the world, and it becomes clear that it is impossible to ban homegrows. I'll be writing each one of the task force members, daily, to explain the idiocy of their thinking. We need a task force to counter their task force.
Philpot wouldn't even give an answer for mmj other than to say they will present it at the end of August.

That was disappointing/

Anyone have a link to there public consultation forms?

So they said they will have new MMJ Reg's ready by the end of Aug. oh and don't forget to submit the online "consultation" form for Rec.

The last 2 questions was the phone in caller...he asked "isn't it hypocritical to allow home brewing of wine/beer, but not allow growing Rec MJ?" And...."isn't it hypocritical to only allow sick peeps to produce MJ?". Answer(s)...."premature to comment on what legislation will look like."....lol!

Don't forget the fill in the online "consultation" form....

THEY ARE INCREADABLY PROUD...

It is good to know these fine people will protect us - mostly from ourselves - but I do feel better now. What a great bunch of folks. I trust them - who wouldn't???

Sounds like a lot of new jobs coming out of this too. Specially in law enforcement, mental health, and politicians.

Annie says a lot has changed in ten years, not really, she was wrong before. I doubt that has changed.

Bill says NO GROWING AT HOME - does that means MMP too !!!! Oh well so much for our rights.... uncle bill spoke right up when it came to growing at home - shit aint happening with this panel of fuck wads, I mean experts.... sounds like they could make the FREE MARKET ILLEGAL. Bill was very nervous - kept taking a drink of water - classic nervous diversion ( he would not even know he is doing it) Also very squeamish and uncomfortable - poor liar. He would fold under cross examination.

Remember in high school there was always a group of do goodders, teachers rats, their shit didn't stink.... Ever wonder what happened to them - they are running shit.

Sounds like a lot of work to control us - I know they think they are up to it though.

I have to go vomit now, later I will pull the rest of my hair out and scream - I AM AS MAD AS HELL AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE !!! but no one will hear....

I didn't hear the announcement....I'm glad.
