“My parents have been involved in ornamental horticulture their whole life,” says Jewel. “They started a greenhouse business when they were first married 65 years ago. When I was a kid, my brothers and sisters and I had our play pen in the greenhouse, and I’ve been in the greenhouse ever since. It’s something I enjoy doing, working with plants, and to have the opportunity to grow a plant that can help people the way cannabis can, it’s humbling, to tell you the truth. It’s something that 4 years ago I wouldn’t have believed I’d have the chance to do.”
Edwin Jewel is a great guy and small scale Licensed Producer, not a big corporate grower. I know that many here are against LPs so can you please explain to me how this is a bad thing?

It's bad because, even if he ever gets his full LP license to sell, he will still be massively overregulated, and forced to gamma irradiate all their product (read: schwag). Also, that massive over regulation will trickle down to the consumer in high prices. Being such a small scale operation, it wouldn't surprise me if their application gets bought out by tweedle or the likes before they're even finish the process.
I'm sure he's a great guy, but he will get a nasty over regulation surprise from HC before any product is sold.

1) Very few LPs irradiate
2) LP prices are lower than illegal dispensaries and are tax deductable
3) He wouldn't have gotten his license unless he had already complied with all of Health Canada's regulations

So much mis information here.
Marije "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" is that because horses are stupid?

when did they stop irradiating?
when did they stop being lower than the compassion clubs? i don't go to them very often but when i was last at the BC Compassion club they have some very good specials.

When I was last at the bc compassion club I bought their top dollar strains and ended up with one strain of no burn/black burn and one strain which had been stripped of most of the trichs.
I bypassed all the other shops with thug-looking staff to go there.
I should have popped in one of them instead, it couldn't have been any worse quality wise.
I had a headache from chilliwack until the weed was done.

i haven't been in a while so i don't know much about them anymore.
they used to be one of the 3 i would trust...maybe not so much anymore.
sometimes their price points don't mean the quality. i remember buying their $8 grapefruit and was blown away while their $9 strains were just OK

I'm all for small mom and pop craft cannabis. If patients can't grow there own, find a BM dealer, locate CC, find a DG o understand the need for LP. I don't support the pump and dump TSX ventures. Fund what helps you at the smallest cost possible. If HC approached me and said "here's a LP license, here's 400ksqft greenhouse and you have to sell it at 2$ a gram" I'd jump on it for the love of growing and the money would be flowing in with amazing community infrastructure backed by 6figure jobs with top of the line benefits and salary matching pensions. It can be done.

Most of them have slowed down, if not stopped entirely.
Health Canada has also acknowledged (privately) that their standards don't match what the industry requires.
From what I've heard, they've softened the crackdown while they try and document it properly.
This is bullshit. My local compassion club is $5-$7 a gram, the LPs are $7-$15.
Local compassion club has consistent quality, my Tilray and Tweed product so far has been mediocre in comparison.
Also something I see in Ontario at almost every dispensary I go to.
Even the Toronto dispensaries had some stuff that was reasonable.
The flower is $$$ but the edibles and extracts weren't quite as aggressive, unless you want that sweet sweet live resin <3

How can you say this is more expensive than dispensary illegal weed?
