First, marihuana is spelled with an h in Canada and I would think the Canadian Kushman would be aware of that.
Now you know that this union business is ridiculous, you need to fight for something, not just against something, if you want to be successful. An LP boycott is an interesting idea, but is easily shredded upon reflection as not inclusive to all marihuana patients for starters, any movement in my opinion needs to include 100% of the patients. You cannot force all patients to break the law, some people will not on simple moral grounds alone. Other non starters make this idea unattainable. On top of that no LP or wannnabe supports the decision to disallow personal grows. Let's get back to fighting for the legalization for all, and end this bullshit forever! Let's call it Sativa Day and time it for voting day.
Everything in moderation, including Unions.
Asking for growers to keep growing in an act of civil disobedience, if well informed of the possible consequences, I support. This will prove difficult I think after listening to Conroy talk about the consequences. Land is far too expensive to risk for average growers to openly defy the law. IMO that would be asking too much and should be on a volunteer basis only with out any expectations from others.
Then we need to rally to these few volunteers support when the swat team arrives. Remember the anti-MMPR turnout, not good, would not count on too much open support from this "cannabis culture", then spread what support you get out across the second biggest country in the world and it is weak at it's very best. We would have better luck plugging up the courts, IMO.
Blaming LP's is a knee jerk reaction that is unfair. You guys even show that you know who is to blame, hurting all LP's does not teach HC anything, it just provides more fodder for the law. Wasting energy against this takes away from the real fight and continues to divide any efforts. Some patients will need LP's. Each LP needs to be judged on it's own merits. So far we have a cluster fuck of those that can't grow quality, and those that don't have any, with some Americans/Netherland connection that is anti Canadian IMO. I'm biased cause I'm Canadian and it would be like importing wheat or timber here in BC.
Non Profit. These are very big words. How about transparency instead? I say this from a place of very clear understanding of the big picture, from the inside. First the cost of implementing an application is simply enormous and keeps growing everyday, this is underestimated everyday on this forum from naysayers and wannabes alike. What is my risk?
Personally we have decided to uproot our kids from their life long home and schools, risk their inheritance and our retirement too. Liquidating our current life to put ourselves in a position to even be able to participate. We will take a big hit to our standard of living in the process.
Now how do we say we are non profit when we will need to earn enough to still put our kids through college, we won't want to live in a trailer forever, we will have debt to pay off and technology to keep up to, never mind that constant expansion seems to be the only way to survive. So how does that hunting analogy work now?
Transparency is the only way I see that allows me to pull out what I put in over time and be rewarded for the risk we have taken. Non profits will fail unless all these and other factors can be put into the equation.
You explain to me what you think is "fair and just" for me, and define "non Profit". Really, go for it, use me as an example, I am interested in how you see all this. We will be investing over 750K of our 1,000K in worth. What chance do you give our success? What would justify a patient to buy from me, in your opinion?
