Sorry about the double thread, can't delete the other one.
This looks like the CC's saying FU to HC

its your new retail store to control pricing/and everything else.
looks like LP's may only have a single outlet to dispense..
that will cut into profit models and the like....
good luck to the soon to become LP's (and I mean that now) before you know there will be a marketing board and quota
the gov knows how to kill any industry
maybe I can open cannadan's dopers retail right beside the beerstore

where is Cannimeds crap on the list?
they do not even list which LPs they are associated with.

CC's saying FU to HC is what it looks like.

It's obviously not going to fly. One wonders why they would go to that effort with their website and press release. Perhaps it's just meant as a joke?

It appears to me this organization plans to be the middleman between LP's and Consumers. Like Itsmehigh said, they will be a Licensed Dealer. Its just strange they have strains listed on their website. Maybe they're expecting LP's to grow those strains if the LP wishes to do business with them?

That will make you just another poor farmer,who has to wait and see if they will make any money based on supply /demand
with prices set to the farmers by the middleman (marketing board)
sounds like what the coasts fisherman have to put up with....they make the catch and someone else sets the price they get for
it....which is never good for them.....
though i bet its easier to become a fisherman than a pot farmer....

Did anyone notice the limit?

How much product can I order at one time?

"A maximum of one month's supply or up to 150 g, whichever is lesser, can be ordered per month depending on your written order from your healthcare practitioner." (emphasis mine)

It's the "whichever is lesser" disclaimer that controls the amount you are allowed.

I didn't think that I misunderstood that.

Whenever I read about matching strains to ailments, my eyes glaze over. It is a clear sign that they are out to lunch, IMO. Add to that their misinterpretation of the regulations, and I think that they are in direct conflict with those regulations too, I wouldn't recommend signing up for their shinny card, just to pay more from a middleman who obviously doesn't understand medical marihuana, or the new regulations. HC has clearly cutout the middleman, in order for one to exist, they will have to offer a lot more than, bad advice, swab tests?, limits that don't exist, and a shinny card for my wallet. Joke category for now.

Uh no, a middleman will not fly with HC. That's not what HC classifies as a " licensed dealer".

[FONT=Open Sans, chaparral-pro-1, chaparral-pro-2, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Not sure how they would like to define themselves in that they are the LP-patient middleman facilitator, cannabis pharmacist, agent and patient-advocate all-in-one!
"National Access Canada does not support the process of shipping narcotics through the mail as described under the new proposed Marihuana for Medical Purposes program. It poses a significant risk to homes, children, mail carriers and to the general public at large" Perhaps not the best language to use to get HC's approval and a lousy argument to boot. Under the current legislation (MMPR), only approved LP's can register individuals as clients ( CLIENT REGISTRATION AND ORDERING CHAPTER). That's why they are misleading folks on their website to sign the agency form to act on patients behalf. Even in the event where they can pull off the agent stunt, I personally don't think their business model is going to fly since they are not adding value but will be increasing costs: Their biggest argument is medicine safety and physical security. A medical practitioner will still have to authorize use and LPs will still have to test their products for safety. Same goes for discretion and physical security. For many patients, getting medication shipped to a mail box or the post office is less conspicuous than walking in to a corporate-owned cannabis-only store.

Their business plan contradicts HC MMPR regulations.
Whoever these people are know that.
What LP would risk their licence to deal with these people?
What is their real agenda here?...They spent time and money on that website...Interesting stuff !

Any LP/LD can be a middleman, maybe the cannabis is from a legal out of country source, maybe they already have their license.

I like the idea of a marihuana card with every patient, a plastic version of their scribe that would always be with them, instead of just the stinky bottle of pot.

I sure appreciate the fresh approach these guys are taking, maybe we all can learn a thing or two, even though I disagree with their interpretation of the regs.

Interesting to say the least.

I don't think you will find it stated anywhere that an LD can be a middleman.
An LP can purchase and resell from another LP.

I like the card idea. It's convenient. I still have my expired MMAR card in my wallet. (I'm sentimental)

I don't really have anything positive to say about their approach, except they have spent money and time on it. This fact has me intrigued. It is so obviously not within HC guidelines. It will not fly. I'd bet on this one....So why do it?... I do believe they have an agenda of some sort, I'm just not seeing it.

You can ignore what I said earlier regarding things like quota,s and marketing boards(fishery example)
but it became very clear in my mind how the gov. was aligning with other
business of this type , when the middleman thread was put up.
You all need to do some research (historical) on a few other products out there,
like chicken , fish , lumber .(shoulda saw this coming)
I sincerely wish you all good luck and I kinda feel sorry
for the bunch .
