Real Men Of Genius
The Federal Court of Appeal has struck down the government’s monopoly on supplying medical marijuana.
Eric Nash can barely contain his excitement waiting to hear from Health Canada whether he can start growing marijuana for 250 patients. Nash believes commercial agricultural production of pot is around the corner and the sky’s the limit.
His local company, Island Harvest, has cleared the industrial security regulatory hurdles so the company meets the standards set by Ottawa to grow the much-demonized plant.
“Our vision is to have a sustainable commercial agriculture operation,” he said. “There’s no reason we can’t achieve that. Look at the number of compassion clubs, look at the number of people using marijuana to relieve a headache or pre-menstrual cramps!”
That’s one of the fundamental reasons behind the court ruling Oct. 27- the medical marijuana program set up by Ottawa isn’t working.
The government sells maybe $1 million a year worth of the pot produced, and compassion clubs across the country sell about $10 million worth of cannabis products.
The BC market is $1.8 billion – just shy of the $2.3 billion we spend on tobacco.
It only confirms that the government is completely inept at business – It can’t even make a go of selling pot.

Just a note from my observations.
It’s it a bid odd that every Pot smoker claiming they need it for medical use are also regular visitors to the local Pubs from their addiction to sitting in one spot and consuming Alcohol to get impared.
This Stat must make a Las Vagas booky shake in his boots from the 100% rate of addiction to booze while smoking dope as a medical treatment.
Basic logic tells me that marijauna causes Alcohol dependency and theirfore limits the Employment choices to get off Welfare.
Thin ks that make you go….Hmmmmmmmmmm?

the marijuana laws do exactly as planned
confuse the issue of narcotics.
Drugs are chemicals
marijuana is a herb
by cross referencing the data when conveniant the average person is confused and often associated facts related to marijuana as facts concerning heroin and cocaine.
like a majic mushroom we are kept in the dark and fed bullshit.
