Owner of winnipegs only medical marijuana dispensary arrested.

You know prohibition is nearing its end when those who would seek to enforce it resort to the abuse of civil rights.

The 'cure' has officially been exposed as being worse than the disease.

Voters here in Colorado are a pretty self reliant bunch; we are the only venue ever chosen by the Olympic committee to TURN DOWN the games... seems a wise choice in hindsight, and we've led the world in medical and recreational marijuana legalisation. Jared Polis is a self made zillionaire, US Senator for our great state... and a HUGE legalisation advocate!

it very obvious they are trying to make the LP's the only place to go for weed in this country.
BOYCOTT or be doomed. Buy CC or on the street....fuck harpo's plans up.

Im not a fan of lp's but aren't cc the same thing. middlemen just making money off the sick.

Well CC's would be the equivalent of smaller independent business and the others they support in that same position.
Smaller growers.......and real access for local patients and mail order.
Lp's are the equivalent of Wal-mart.

I see no comparison

Do you really think that cc's care where their supply comes from. They are in it just for the cash I've never meet one that is non profit.

have you checked out the BCCCS? they offer a lot more than just meds for your membership....not sure about the non profit though.

This could wind up setting some precedent if he has the funds to go to the Supreme Court. I guess we'll see.

Doctors just make money off the sick. Making money is not wrong or bad. The difference is compassion clubs do not need to beg for permission to exist. Which opens the door for actual competition - which by the way no one in government or in power wants or believes in. They prefer to pick winners.

I get its about choice but when the argument is lp's are evil and cc's are not I see no difference. I have no problems with cc's making money but lets call a spade a spade. Please don't bombard me with cc's you use I'm more than covered.

Anyone else wondering when health Canada became a lawenforcement office. It says officers were forced to act from pressure from health Canada!!! Wtf maybe health Canada should take sometime and look at health care just a thought.....

Must be true. I was trapped in a Tim hortons drive thru yesterday smoking a j when a wps supervisors pulls up and a unmarked patrol car righ after it. They looked at me and shook their heads and continued into tims. Was it wrong for me to yell at them to come arrest me? They didn't. Was it wrong to yell "what the fuck are you doing? You don't have time for coffee a sick person is using medication in public right infornt of you". Ambrose must have told them not to arrest real sick people as that would look horrible. Need less to say they didn't even approach me and it was beyond obvious what is doing in that drive thru. Fuck you pigs!

LP's are using their connections to get political favors to lord over the rest of us. Compassion club owners are flaunting the law in order to benefit us as best as possible - as well as themselves.

Anyway, I don't think LP's are necessarily evil. Although I have absolutely 0 doubt that most of those operating currently are run by sociopaths who want to see nothing more than their competition crushed with no regard for anyone but themselves, there are likely some who are not in that boat - although I have yet to see one speak up. The only public comments I've seen out of any of their mouths is 'Dispensaries are illegal and should be closed' - because they are self interested assholes who do not see the big picture.

Most humans just want to survive comfortably. Sociopaths though, they are a different beast. And make no mistake, there are plenty of dispensary owners that fall into that boat as well - sociopaths who want it all with no regards for others. But it's hardly all of them or even a majority in my experience. Whereas I've yet to see one genuine person come out for the LP program that's working as an LP (as evidenced by every action they take).

They were on Break. Don't you know crime takes a break when they do. I remember one time I was being charged with driving without insurance it was about 5 in the morning and after the copper gave me my summons he said drive carefully because my shift is over and I am not waiting for a tow truck. Why is a cops job the only job you can pick and choose when to work.

That last bit probably could get you off on the charge... officer cited you, but apparently doesn't think it's important enough to wait around? I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like the kind of thing that could save you a conviction.

Cops are a mix of people trying to get by - sounds like your guy. And sociopaths looking to dominate people for kicks and personal gain (probably 1/5- 1/4 including those at the highest positions of power).

I don't see how buying a product from a grower and adding dollars to move it to someone else a favour. To me they are just drug dealers with a store front. Now if they hooked you up with a grower and you paid the grower directly then I'm on board but as long as they are profitting for being a middleman than there is no difference.

Actually I paid the court 5 bucks a month. It took me like 5yr to pay a 500 dollar fine. The jp (justice of the peace) ask why I pay so little. I replied "cause it costs you more to process it than it worth". Almost thought he was going to hit me. I still laugh about it.

Do you feel this way about every single store that exists?

But I told them they don't have time for coffee I'm right here driving(sitting motionless in drive thru) using my legally prescribed illigal drugs.

I'm waiting for a dispensary that tells the truth! We buy it in bulk cheap and sell it to you for a profit! I'd respect the hell out of a store that did that. If the weed was good I'd go back over and over. It's these "non profit" (bullshit) dispensarys that I got a problem with.

Why do have a problem with the not for profit dispensaries? I am just curious. Is it the quality?

They're setup that way for a bunch of legal reasons - if they weren't blatantly breaking the law as written they'd probably just setup shop as normal I'd imagine and if they weren't forced to only sell for medical reasons as well - it's used like an extra legal leg to stand on - right or wrong. Everyone is obviously getting paid in these. Prices at them continue to decline. Use your discretion as to which you visit. Some are more obviously out to make a quick buck than others. Anyway, I don't use them much personally. I visit the compassion club in Victoria regularly to use their vaporizer when I'm around. Sometimes I pick up a small sample here and there to try. But mostly not.

 

[nobody important 666]

No, but i would if for example the gov made going veggies illegal and a store opened and only sold veggies with no legality and tried to say its being done for my help while making a huge profit then yes I do.

 

[Gmack420]

Well any "not for profit" is just flat out full of shit IMO. Paying yourself whatever profit you make then claiming on taxes that the shop never turned a profit is as scummy as they come. That's what these non profits do. They pay the employees/owners a salary and then bonus's to cover any profits they make on paper. Tbh dispensary quality has nothing to do with if they are for profit or non profit. I just don't like the ducking and weaving to come up with a 0 balance at the end of the year so they can not pay taxes. We all have to pay so should they.
