I have also emailed for an advance copy, this is exciting news. Hopefully they will process applications in a timely way! Regarding the transition period, there are other threads here and on other forums, indicating that the license renewals that have been going in for the last couple of months...

I don't agree with your conspiracy theories oakley1984. We don't live in a country where the government unilaterally decides who will operate in a private industry, like an oligarchy would. Either the government itself provides a service to the public, or private industry does. If it is...

Maximum, I agree. They might not stick to an April 2014 cessation of MMAR if the MMPR is not promulgated. I am going to guess (mostly out of my ass) that they will allow one year whenever they release them, so in the full MMPR regs the delay will be specified as 12 months. It's simpler for them...

R.Raider: If you have different facilities (buildings) where different activities are being conducted, you have to detail the locations and floor plans, security measures etc. for each one. You will be covered by 1 license, if it is 1 business in multiple areas. Maximum: I hear you man, enough...

There are a lot of other places where people are debating merits and failures of the MMPR, which I am following with great interest. So if the comments about diversion and prescriptions etc. are meant to stir the pot and put down aspiring legal growers, maybe there are better places to start...

It is looking like a 60x80 building or thereabouts right now. 2 storey in the parts of the building that the occupants request it. We would like to divide it into 4 bays. So they will be approximately 60x20, with 2 storeys that provides about 2400 sqft. It is pretty easy to find tenants with...

At the moment I am looking for other people in the Edmonton area that are seeking growing space. I am putting up a new building south of Edmonton. I'm building extra bays for additional licensed growers to cover financing costs. There are other benefits like security system and sharing...

Definitely, purchasing is the way! Want to loan me $150,000? :) For a venture loan I am offering 20% return, compounded monthly, 36 months payback. That will return $272,000 on the loan after 3 years. That goes to anyone that wants to make a legit investment. High risk, high return :) As a bonus...

I feel your pain. I had to do a lot of leg work to get into a deal with a land owner that I know. I was not looking forward to cold calling for-rent ads! One suggestion is to see if you can get an ad accepted by kijiji that might get stumbled on by someone in the country with land. For...

Regarding testing OTHER than THC/CBD, here is the info from the technical guidance document. This is an area for the QA person to design and approve the methodology. I think you will find guidance in one of the publications that FDA(B) lists, to design a protocol and build conditions for...

I think you are on the right track with the security clearance. Just provide what they ask, point by point. The warning about waiting 5 years between clearances doesn't apply to an incomplete application. It applies to a failed clearance, i.e. something in your records that are a problem for...

I'm referring to Section 82 of the MMPR in the gazette, under the "Security" heading. It looks like it's a specific list, they want you to submit all of this information in a statement and the minister conducts the security check. If they were happy with a pre-existing standard security...

Hi Maximum, I don't think you can apply for any standard security clearance in advance. It is a specific clearance ("enhanced" in their words) conducted by the minister. "The proposed MMPR also include requirements that the holder of the production licence, directors and officers (in the case...

Maximum, are you in the north or south area of AB? "Rather not say" is fine too :)

I believe that it is theoretically possible to run an MMPR approved business as a one man op, if you are a QA qualified person yourself. Since that's unlikely, I think you can still run it as a one-man operation, with outside QA on contract. If anyone sees anything in the regs that contradict...

I have also delved into x10 gear, it's fun but I would advise going with a bonded company for security install and response. Even if the regs don't specify, chances are your insurance coverage will either demand it, or make it worth your while by lowering costs. I don't feel I have a choice in...

Regarding security and video. I plan to hire a regular security company for monitoring and response. I plan to rig up my own video surveillance with IP cameras on a network switch and a server running open source camera software, to upload images to a remote server, and do motion detection. The...

Maximum, if you prefer we can take this general talk about obstacles and process elsewhere since it is not directly on your topic! Spiritmedicine, regarding QA. As I read it, the QA person designs, implements, approves good manufacturing practices on site. In our business, I think this would...

Hi Maximum, I'm in Edmonton Alberta and I'm looking to do something very similar, on a similar scale. Currently a DPPL and looking to go commercial. I am interested in cooperating with other small producers in the area to help each other get off the ground. As small producers, it might be...
