How long are people waiting to hear back from Health Canada ?

I just received mine in the mail as well...does anyone know the route I should take for inspections by city, province. I'm in bc. I'm mainly going to run outdoors. But will also have an indoor set up. Which would be a 8x8 with 4 1000s. For outdoors I have a 30x30 greenhouse..
You might wanna do some research. Depending on where you live in BC will play a big part on if you have any further barriers ahead at the municipal level. I think there's some cities in BC that make you jump thru inspection hoops? There's BC members here that can give you better details.

Yeah so I had to pay my dr for the next year. Im waiting for my new doc in the mail and hopefully it will be raised to 5 gpd. Then I have to do the application all over again and wait for another month apparently:(
Wow. I got mine on Friday and doesn't run out for a year. You got a screwed.

Just got my papers from health canada today. A bit annoying considering my expiration is nov 18 .
But at least im in the system.
Gotta immediately renew right now again though. Good for 20 plants indoors and approx 2 pounds in storage.
My new doc in the mail should be for 25 plants. :D
Are you sure the expiry says 2016 and not 2017?
I wonder if they gave you a typo.
It seems retarded. And a barrier to access.

Hellth Canada doesn't contact the local authorities so if you're keeping your grow personal then no one is going to show up to do an inspection. If for some reason the cops come to your house and spot your grow, (maybe the nice old lady next door secretly hates the smell and dropped a dime on you), you show them your get out of jail free card and they contact HC to confirm. That's why there's that bit in the application where you have to give permission for limited release of your personal info. If your count is good then you should be OK.

They may report unsafe conditions to the city and then they may show up at your door.

I'm screwed if any of the above happens! :D

The bigger the city ...the less interested the cops are once they learn your medical.
I'm in a very small town area where the cops would have plenty of time to drop by and check me out. I'm 10 miles out of town and a 2 plant bust makes the front page of the local rag. Not that I really give a shit about what the locals think of me. :)

It's just if I got busted the judges we get for our local courts aren't like the judges you get in a place like Vancouver, Toronto or even in Edmonton our capitol city. Even the cops are posted here because of their religious leanings and ability to speak fluent French. Rednecks abound!

:peace:

Yikes... I get cha. Meanwhile these same cops go home and pound back the beer, wine and booze. I'm so sick of the mainstream community of drinkers and pill takers looking down their noses at us.
In the last 2 years or so it has been my mission to chew at the asses of non users of mj or mmj. I like to point out how they have had it ALL WRONG all these years. Unfortunately I have anger issues on this subject. My patience is shot really.

Don't spend too much time trying to convert those that can't listen to reason. It's all carved in stone for those types and unless something profound happens to sway their opinion you'll just make yourself angrier and waste a lot of energy.

I try to explain to folks about how what they are consuming is making them so fat and giving them diabetes and fatty livers but they still drink a case of Coke a week and eat fast food more than anything so I don't fret about their choices. They don't care so why should I. They at least don't get arrested for their choices.

People like my dear old ma don't understand some peoples need to bend their reality but understands that pot really is medicinal and saw how it helped my dad deal with chemo back in the 80s. Didn't save him but eased his symptoms and helped him eat enough to put on substantial weight when he was down to skin and bones.

Something that pisses me off is all these cannabis related companies referring to cannabis as marijuana or weed. Slang terms that only help to perpetuate the propaganda and ignorance about pot.

A weed is any plant that grows in a place it's not wanted and when have you ever seen pot grow somewhere it's not wanted? :)

i wish they'd stop calling it by street names. it makes it look bad and feeds the stigma
i'd like to hear them using slang terms for other meds then. how about using the term "hillbilly heroin" a little more often or smack...level they field and call them by street names or their proper names

The goofy names have been around since people have been naming cannabis. Granted, yes some are out there, but at the end of the day its just a goofy name which is t meant to be taken seriously or literally. Seems a bit Maude Flanders, and this is why we have people saying strain names are chosen to market to children. Theres no logic there.

Would you rather we need government approval before a name is chosen? Because enough complaining would likely lead to that. Bad enough LPs try and put their weak ass marketing names on them. These are names people have already grown very familiar with. No need to reinvent the wheel, better the devil you know......
