If insurance would cover my costs I wouldn't care what they wanted to charge. Do it like every other drug. Patient would be responsible for the dispensing fee and insurance pays the rest. Why the LPs weren't pushing for this from the get go is beyond me. I mean did they really think that the majority of med patients would be able to fill even a 1/4 of their prescription out of pocket?

They have been pushing for it all this time, it just doesn't get mentioned.
Big pharma vs Big insurance, a clash of the titans!

I must be one of only a handful that champix didn't adversely affect. It was the simplest thing I could have done to quit. I would say morphine had something to do with that, but my spouse had no bad side effects or morphine.

Well, Tilray has now gone "FULL PEACE NATURALS" and has decided to remove patients ability to comment on their Facebook page. Too many angry clients I suppose. Hopefully enough of them were able to see the link to RIU I posted and the conversations started over there can continue here. Fuck Tilray.

What is the timeline breakdown?
If you're asking on what I base the 'years' statement, it's just understanding how long policy and law take to shape. Obviously it won't be 2015, as the person i replied said. The election isn't even until October 2015, so expecting an entirely new law to be drafted and passed that quickly seems a bit naive. Perhaps as early as 2016, but that's still a stretch in light of how long most legislation takes, wouldn't you agree?

JT is running on a platform of legalization.

Sure, it'll take awhile for things to pass under the new government, etc.

But it's happening. I am basing my "legalization date" on the October 2015 election - which is in the year 2015.

That's it, I don't know the actual date policy is going to come into effect. Never said I did!

Sometimes, it is very easy for tone and meaning to get misconstrued through the written word...

I'm just saying - "yay for legalization"

...whenever that is.

Under the normal process:
2015 - Election
2016 - Hearings, consultations, committee meetings.
2017 - Bill gets written and submitted to parliament.
2018 - gets published in the gazette - senate passes (maybe)
2019 - regulations get written and an infrastructure to manage the process is designed
2020 - It's finally legal.

Expedited
no sooner than 2017.

They did it kinda quicker in Washington, Colorado, and Uruguay I think.

Maybe the Canadian government should ask them how it's done?
