It's gonna be interesting to see if they set a precedent by not prosecuting to the full extent of the law. LP\s should be held to a higher standard than your average person, just like police officers, they hold a special position of responsibility, and if they can't obey the law, how the heck are the rest of us supposed to?“I can guarantee you they would harvest [plants that originated from black market seeds], trim them and send them out … Guaranteed, they went to the legal market. I can tell you 100 per cent they did,” one of the sources said to Bloomberg.
Under the Cannabis Act, the penalty for illegal distribution or sale of cannabis can result in imprisonment for a term of up to 14 years.
I wouldn't go that far. These LPs have millions of dollars in funding and they're not all willing to risk that just to import a BM strain.Guaranteed all LP’s have done this...cannatrust is just the first one who got caught!
In the beginning the regulations were pretty relaxed, then they tightened up quickly.In the beginning ALL lp genetics came from the BM, hell they would have ZERO genetics otherwise.
LOL biker grow are outnumbered by normal everyday people 1-10. If they were not black market as you why would you bring up that they were biker grows? Lot of FUD going on in your posts.I wouldn't go that far. These LPs have millions of dollars in funding and they're not all willing to risk that just to import a BM strain.

With that said, importing seeds from other countries and getting cuttings from Denver were both happening in the beginning, in addition to purchasing seeds off the MMAR.
Most of the genetics came from MMAR gardens, many of which were biker grows. Technically, that product was not black market, it was DG grown and that's why it was approved.
I'm pointing out that technically (I should have said "legally") they are not black market grows.LOL biker grow are outnumbered by normal everyday people 1-10. If they were not black market as you why would you bring up that they were biker grows? Lot of FUD going on in your posts.
one thing we agree on isLOL biker grow are outnumbered by normal everyday people 1-10. If they were not black market as you why would you bring up that they were biker grows? Lot of FUD going on in your posts.
HOLY SHIT! just shaken my head hereI'm pointing out that technically (I should have said "legally") they are not black market grows.
They all have MMAR / DG paperwork and that's why the transfers were possible.
Health Canada allowed LPs to import product from MMAR gardens, as long as they had the paperwork to transfer the products.
Many of these plants were transferred, grown and failed to pass the standards, requiring them to irradiate it all, which is where some of the LPs paniced and started to make risky decisions.
To be clear, I am aware that the overall group has bikers as a minority, but big LPs like Tilray made deals with some of the largest grows to import product, many of which were bikers. I'm specifically talking about the ones that sold to LPs, not the overall pool of MMAR.LOL biker grow are outnumbered by normal everyday people 1-10.
None of this can be verified 100%, but my source works there and I have no reason not to believe him (I trust him to guard my garden). Kinda confirms the suspicions everyone has had. The story I got was they have been supplementing their product availability with the help of a certain group [...] The product recall for pesticide traces was not for weed grown in their facility. Now would be a perfect time for stories of LP criminal activity to hit the media.
what group....and are ya saying tilray are bikers maybe?I am aware that the overall group has bikers as a minority, .

No they're not bikers, they are pirates dot-dot-dot
I've stated here before that when I first got my prescription I bought from Lp's for a few months. Tried like 9 strains of Aphria and 1 tweed, all dogshit. Tilray was slightly better, but higher prices.To be clear, I am aware that the overall group has bikers as a minority, but big LPs like Tilray made deals with some of the largest grows to import product, many of which were bikers.

I've had flower from a few places and none of it is ever good quality, it's always dry as the desert and sometimes it's a complete dud.Tried like 9 strains of Aphria and 1 tweed, all dogshit. Tilray was slightly better, but higher prices.
IT's NOT SELLING NOWso it's going to continue selling well.
I went through almost exactly the same thing, and felt the same way after. It got to the point where if I bought all the pot for my prescription from them, it would be nearly $600 per month went back to my "old friend" and it was less than $300 a month, and now growing it myself, well, I dunno, but we have a bit of extra money left each month now which I spend on my automation project instead.I've stated here before that when I first got my prescription I bought from Lp's for a few months.

Pretty sure the only good bag of LP weed I ever bought was Island sweet Skunk from tilray and I wouldn't be surprised if they bought that from some bikers, because it was actually good. Second time I ordered it, they jacked up the price and it was the worst dogshit I got from them. I'm guessing they grew that bag. Next doctor appointment I sent the acmpr paperwork away and started growing again. Really wish all the money I wasted would have went to grow equipment and new genetics.
