If I'm not mistaken the section 56 exemption
The exemption had to be put in place. They can't legally allow LPs to produce oils without an exemption to their laws, but they can't stop them from doing it because SC ruled it's legal.

They can't really fight the supreme court.. that's the whole reason of the supreme court.
They probably had their lawyers review it and confirm there's nothing they could do, so the LPs would be applying pressure to get in while the getting is good and they would move forward.
The layoffs at Tilray were a problem for a hell of alot more than 61 people. http://www.healthcareglobal.com/financeinsurance/2015/Why-did-Canada's-medical-marijuana-company-Tilray-lay-off-61-employees

I want to hate them as much as you do, I just don't understand what's so special about this exemption other than the fact that they didn't wait until the very last hour to implement it.
After hearing the person who put the mmpr say during the allard trial that they knew the mmpr wouldnt work and was flawed but they rolled it out anyway......i dont give two shits how many people get laid off by tilhay or any other lp.
You cant say that something outrages you and that turn around and give the mega producers the ability to do it. It looks and smells bad imo anyway.
I dont blame the lps i blame hc and moreso the gov for wasting all our time and tax dollars.

That's my point exactly. My guess is that the 56 covers them on any oils hashes etc that are above there stupid 30mg per 1 ml that he has put out. Thus causing patients who make there own without a section 56 to be still breaking the law... Again this is my opinion.

As far as i understand the Supreme Court ruling was to cover possession of derivatives by patients. IMHO health Canada went out of their way to accommodate the LPs/mmpr interests right after fighting patients for every inch.

As I've said before, I'm happy this will improve access for some. I however take issue with how we are being force fed a government controlled monopoly. Free the herb for all patients.

The way I understand this cluster fuck is scoc says patients must have access to oils etc and can posses them but not manufacturer them without a section 56. Making cc still illegal and any patient illegal if caught making them! Imo

I don't see the avg allowed per day as much of a point as I'm pretty sure they can't prescribe more than, what 5g? a day under the new system...

I've eaten medicated cornpops that were 1000mg per serving. Not sure how that equates but I don't think 30mg per ml is very high. You'd need quite a lot to get the medicated effects if you're using mmj for pain at least IMO.
It's reasonably high, but not for some people. I'm like you, I can eat a decarbed gram of BHO and be fine.

I eat regularly. I'm actually on a tolerance break because I had to take 1.5g of BHO to have the nice KO effect at the end of the night. My sleep has suffered a bit but it'll save me some product in the long run. Just smokin for now.

The edibles and oils are the smallest of concerns of the LPs. I know for a fact there are 2 different types of Sec56.

1 - fighting in court for personal use won by a judicial review after denial.
2 - scientific research with import/export

They dont give a shit about cookies and oils, they can send there butt nasty weed down to uruguay or the states and collect. Cause they sure as fuck arent selling there hay here.

Absolutely they have been experimenting with this. Vape pens pre-loaded with THC oil are ready to go. I personally know of 3 LP applicants who already signed exclusives for distributing edibles and extracts in Canada from Colorado companies. It's a massive market worth millions now and millions more when legalization occurs.
