Enough is enough. WE are NOT criminals. 
We are making a choice, that does not harm anyone. 

In many chases a choice that makes us BETTER. 
Better people, better health and better members of society. 
We choose to use a plant, a natural substance to ease our pain, mentally and physically. Making us criminals is an UNJUST system, used in the past to send Cannabis consumers to jail.  The true crime is there are far more dangerous substance abuse daily. Instead of locking people up - we should be educating and informing on better decision making.  Instead they are forcing us to USE  dangerous, deadly opiates for pain in many cases especially.                

That is the CRIME! <prove me wrong!

I REFUSE. I refuse to be trapped into a $$$ making scheme instigated by Health Canada because of their lack of professionalism and education and understanding. 

In Canada, many were given the right to produce their own medicine/cannabis or obtain a designated grower - by our own government.  Many invested time and knowledge and finances to do this and be successful at it.  
 Now our government has decided against this....

 To which I say: Too bad. 
Who the F*ck do they think they are, to play with peoples lives like they do? To turn  people into criminals over growing a plant?  
*NEVER forget that is all you are doing! Growing plants! It is WRONG to send someone to jail for growing plants. ESPECIALLY if at one point they had permission to do so.  

We are not criminals. The criminals are in suits (working for Steven Harper) making decisions that affect the lives of seriously sick and suffering, mind games is exactly what they are playing at now, and it is shameful.    

We are not criminals.

Dear Minister of Health,
As a MMAR licensee, and person with permanent disabilities, I am deeply fearful regarding the proposed changes the MMAR /MMPR regulations. Specifically I must protest the issues of out of pocket payment patient cost for the medical marihuana. The current proposals by Health Canada to only allow medical marijuana to be produced for profit , at a price point those producers set, will be unconstitutional and a violation of ''section 7'' and ''section 12'' of the ''Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'' for any patient in my similar circumstance without the financial means to afford their medications in Canada on ODSP, who only get$1075 for food/rent,only. Especially patients who require large dosages and multiple strains of dosages for their numerous and chronic health symptoms which will result in their inability to any access their prescribed medication under our Canadian system of universal health Care. Any changes made to the Health Canada medical marijuana program must include alternatives to any profit driven system of production to ensure continued medical marihuana access by Canada’s 26,000 + constitutionally legal medical marihuana users.
In the R v Mernagh decision the court found that physicians in Canada have effectively boycotted the existing medical marijuana program, and therefore the program itself was unconstitutional. Health Canada's response does nothing to address this boycott beyond the promise of making information accessible to physicians. I personally have a team of highly skilled specialists overseeing my care who are also concerned with Health Canada failure to address this issue.
Many Patients ,including me with my personalproduction license and caregiver designated growers have spent thousands of dollars and years of time setting up and or running their production facilities. Many court cases including; Sfetkopolous, Beren and Hitzig have found that denying patient’s production licenses on arbitrary grounds without an adequate effective, MSP covered supply, would continue to violate a patient's constitutional rights to access medical marijuana. In circumstances such as requirements for multiple and or strain specificity any changes to the Health Canada MMAR / medical marijuana program must include the preservation of personal and or designated production.
The proposals by Health Canada constitute less than a bad faith response to court orders, they represent outright defiance. The current proposals do not meet the needs of medical marijuana patients in Canada, and will result in a further restriction of patient access to medical marijuana. I call upon Health Canada to create a patient expert review committee and widespread stakeholder meetings then return to the drawing board and come up with a constitutionally viable program which Canadians can be proud of.
