Nothing surprises me with him anymore.
He's like that little pussy on the school yard who takes a shot and runs away to cry foul.
Here's a good read from the Van Sun.

I don't think anyone in Ottawa is going to risk using the RCMP against municipal or provincial laws. Can you imagine the backlash of that? It would be about 30 minutes from the first raid until the calls to separate from Canada started. The 'Crown' lays charges in BC, not the police, so the feds would need to use their own prosecutors, courts and judges...oh and pay for the whole thing themselves...BC has no interest in paying for it. We are also approaching the 'opt-out' period of our 20 year contract with the RCMP...
I really hope they try, it will be fun to watch them fail...again. I'm not sure if the neanderthals in Ottawa realize just how much weed, both med and rec, are a part of the west coast culture.

Now if BC had its own provincial police force I might consider moving there...in the event things go sideways that is...

Are the police in the "know" there? understand the difference between mmpr and mmar
Imagine dispensarys calling vpd to come save them from the evil RCMP that are destroying the shop!
There are officers who have participated in both mmar and mmpr.... As patients. Not a sting op but legit needing mmj patients. So yeah some people in the RCMP know the ins and outs of the programs but they are self taught. And not in the positions within the RCMP we'd like them to be.
I'd like to charge these armed men who came in and destroyed my shop with assault and armed robbery... Is what the dispensary would say.... It would be a massive shit show is what I'm getting at. The RCMP can do whatever it wants but it doesn't mean it will hold up in court. Or withstand appeals if they are convicted of a crime. Scoc was clear. Reasonable access. Where is it? Storefronts.

Problem with tax generation no one states the obvious. If money is spent on weed its not being spent somewhere else which is lost tax. The majority of money from illegal grows goes back into the local economy which is taxed a 12% This is much more money put back into the tax system then it would be if those people never grew and didn't spent as much because their pay cheque didn't allow it.

With out the option to grow my own of have a grower I choose grow it for me it's not reasonable access. Price has a huge part in this. Justin will let store fronts sell tweed shwag that's the whole plan! But we're talking medical patients access to the drug not a recreation users access to it.
Remember per cents don't matter. Winning Seats in ridings is what matters. Popular vote is just a indicator and seeing as it's as dead even as you can get anything is possible. Any minority gov is good for us but Ndp or liberal are of course best. Harper needs to stop deciding who runs what in Ottawa.

I hope they sold to minors... cause apparently they could be minors with epilepsy or some serious thing that mmj sorts out..... it also sounds like that is the way to get these raided easily make a claim they sold to kidsFederal medical marijuana raids not part of Vancouver police

Shaw says she was puzzled by the message because it included a demand that the society stop advertising, which she said it does not do.
"They're asking us to stop the advertising, whatever it is they're talking about. But also to stop all cannabis sales," said Shaw.
Lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who worked on the landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling on cannabis extracts, calls the move unprecedented and inappropriate.
"I think it opens a giant can of worms, it's really doing an end-run around the elected officials in Vancouver as well as the Vancouver Police Department."
Police in Vancouver have raided and shut down some marijuana dispensaries suspected of selling pot to minors or having links to organized crime in recent months.
