Hey folks...thought I would start this thread in order to come up with some ideas on how to help Conroy win the Feb23 court case.

I don't want this to be about donating money, rather something that John can use in court.

My thinking is to exploit the issue of product availability, or lack of.
I have read numerous reports of patients not being able to get meds from their chosen LP.
What if we compiled a list of patients who are in this situation?
Testimonials from these patients.
We can't reach the patients here, not enough of us....but maybe facebook?

What do you think?

There are availability issues all through the MMPR
Canna Farms always has meds but generally sell out of small quantities and only having ounces left for 240$. Plus taxes and shipping. I don't always have that.

It seems like all the patients here at RIU that use LPs ( please no bashing! ) have had issues. Just imagine how many are out there with the same problems...
The courts have to know this...how many patients have been fucked over...

If we are talking about ammo what about the fact that the LP's are irradiating there cannabis to pass spec. With no ethical research on what other health risk are involved in smoking irradiated plant material. If some LP's out there can produce cannabis with out radiation then everyone should. If there is contaminants of any kind the crop should be recalled not irradiated. We are talking high grade clean (from radiation too) medical product IMO

Peace

Good point. We can make Conroy aware of this if he isn't already.

If I have free time I will deffinetly help with anythig I can. What were you thinking to get started leaf?

Oh and to add another point to tell conroy would be about how they are selling shake as ground milled flowers. False advertising and monopoly of power due to them being the only ones allowed to produce so they control the market.

Some interesting points here:

http://www.cannabisbureau.nl/en/doc/pdf/Factsheet production process EN_31402.pdf
Netherlands Process for Medical Marijuana
Once the laboratory has approved the medicinal cannabis,Sy
the batch is sent to the irradiation company. The product is
then irradiated with gamma radiation, in the same way as
fruit and vegetables are irradiated (this is not shown in the
film images). The batch is then sent to the packaging and
distribution company. Here, it is packed manually in
portions of 5 grams by specialised employees in rooms that
have been made suitable for the process. This company
also delivers the medicinal cannabis to order to Dutch
pharmacies.

Contract Between Health Canada and Prairie Plant Systems
Costs for shipping the cannabis between various sites for storage, irradiation and
distribution are estimated at $215,101 for the contract ending September 30, 2007

Cannabis Patients United - SB 660 Response
Irradiation of Cannabis is Unnecessary, questionable and not allowed by Federal regulations currently governing the irradiation of food and medicinal products.
In response to:
7) A licensed facility shall irradiate all pharmaceutical grade cannabis in the manner determined by the department before delivering the pharmaceutical grade cannabis to another person.

Harm Reduction Journal - Overview of Cannabis Policy and Practice in Canada
Additionally, results from biological testing obtained through Health Canada continue to indicate high levels of mold and biological impurities prior to gamma-irradiation. In six microbiological tests from 2004, the levels of aspergillus and penicillium mold averaged 536.66cfus (colony forming units) and 3872.5cfus respectively [40].

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, both Aspergillus and Penicillium mold produce dangerous mycotoxins like aflatoxin and ochratoxin that cannot be destroyed by gamma irradiation [41,42]. According to Dr. Dave Abramson, a mycotoxicologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the only way to guarantee that a commodity is free from a specific mycotoxin is to sample the crop in a representative manner, and then perform a quantitative assay following a published and validated procedure. Depending on the crop and place of origin, specific assays for several mycotoxins would be necessary to ensure product safety. [43] When asked specifically about microbial contamination and inhalation as a route of ingestion, Dr. Abramson states that "environmental studies have shown that all mycotoxins pose a very significant inhalation hazard," adding "there is some evidence that certain mycotoxins would survive the high temperatures associated with smoking, and remain potent in the vapor phase [43]."

Gamma irradiation is a highly controversial method of decontamination, and this researcher has been unable to find any studies assessing its safety on smoked or inhaled materials anywhere in the world. Research shows that along with molds and bacteria, it destroys beneficial terpenoids like myrcene, caryophyllene and linalool [46,47] that have known therapeutic properties and which may improve the bioavailability of some cannabinoids [48,49].

If this info is correct health Canada knows that irradiation doesn't kill all the types of mold yet they still allowed for it to be irradiated and sent to sick people. In the same breath while being recommended not to irradiate due to inadiquit testing.... Holy fuck.... That's huge and a totally different lawsuit all in its self. Also right in that inFo it said HC also knows that it takes the terpens out!?!? Well I myself use cannabis for the terepen qualities for my illness thus the medicine they produce has no medicinal value to me. IMO

Product being purposely packaged in more larger quantities such as 1oz to 1/2lb and not near as much in small units 1g etc. this is another monopoly but on people's health after all if the pharmacy for example only has a pack of let's use Viagra for example and my prescription is for 10 they break it done into 10. They don't say sorry you have to take the 100. Think about it how can you be sold out of grams but still be selling ounces of the same strain???? This is also why it seems like LP's are always selling out they are of grams!!!! Propoganda is a bitch

Peace

Has any LP purchased/acquired a patient's strain to grow and maintain a constant supply? This was something HC assured us will happen.

A few people looked into it I know. Most LPs just flat out said they wouldn't do it. Apparently the ones that would were offering next to nothing for the genetics and then wanted to grow it out and sell it back to you at whatever bullshit price they wanted. Nobody would just give away their genetics to buy product back at inflated prices. HC only allowed this before April 1st so the former MMAR "DGs" could sell out to their new corporate overlords.

If you'll write a general email, enquiring about availability, I'll send em to all the LP's(whose websites I can find) and report back here with the responses?
