More #NewProhibition dispensary raids underway. Why? Because the BC Gov’t has their own pot shops. It’s a cartel-style move by the BC Gov’t to crack down on the competition — even though the “competition” shops & products are what consumers want. #BCpoli #Cannabis #competition
.@KamloopsRCMP dealing with confrontation while raiding an unlicensed cannabis dispensary at 405 Tranquille Rd, called Canadian Safe Cannabis. The store is operating almost right next door to the only licensed private cannabis store in #Kamloops - The Shore Cannabiz. @RadioNLNews

So many fluff tweets about Canopy Gross CEO! 🤮 Bruce Linton is NOT a pioneer, and not worth praising. He’s a pro-criminalization, pro-prohibition, anti-free-choice, greed-driven, #Cannabis community hating, monopolistic mega-factory-farm corporate cannabis colonialism huckster.

3. AND the full bench awarded costs to @FieldsOfGreenFA . It's taken 2 years of a stupid fight they could never win. Its all about the state and religious zealots' moral judgement of our use of #Cannabis #Dagga. Pffft, they must PAY! youtu.be/etB0Jyg172w

1. Today we won a significant court victory! Our trial in 2017 was critically delayed because the state & Doctors for Life objected to us live streaming to the @FieldsOfGreenFA website. The judge at the timeruled in our favour twice but they wouldn't have it.

It’s time that, as a profession, we doctors acknowledge that, if our therapies fail to help our patients, we have absolutely no right to support laws that penalize them when they self-medicate with drugs that are banned for no rational or scientific reasons.
Many believe #psilocybin mushrooms is a breakthru treatment for life-threatening #depression. But it's illegal in #SouthAfrica. Why should someone have to choose between this #medicine, and a jail term? Listen to The Psychonauts here: Clusterf*ck soundcloud.com/user-16135534…

80% of cannabis is consumed by 20% of consumers. That 20% is the grassroots #cannabis culture & community. If your business model insults, stigmatizes & financially extorts that 20% of the market, you will continue to lose business. Respect our culture & community — or fail.

‘Why do people take illegal drugs?’ a very common question. Answer is that people take illegal drugs mainly for same reason they take legal drugs: pleasure! But also for many other reasons. Rite of passage. Sacrament. Social lubricant. Spiritual quest #SupportDontPunish

Putting a cannabis-hating former anti-drug narc & undercover officer in charge of #cannabis legalization is like putting a gay-bashing homophobic priest in charge of gay marriage legislation. Welcome to Canada, where Bill Blair runs the “legal marijuana” corporate cartel regime.

Warned everyone. Sadly, it came true. “Legalization was supposed to bring the existing industry out of the shadows and into the light, but this legislation will keep it in the dark, and deny people the opportunity to transition into the legal industry” ottawacitizen.com/opinion/co…

Real legalization must focus on ending & repairing the harms of unjust #cannabis criminalization — not continuing the harms with #NewProhibition laws. This is why #FakeLegalization cannot be accepted as a replacement for prohibition. We Need Justice, Freedom, Equality & Dignity.
I was arrested in July for failing a urine test with marijuana. I lost my apartment while incarcerated and now living in a homeless shelter

Here are links to proof: teapawt.net/jodieemery/status/9580…
Hard to believe, but true: Cannabis smoke doesn’t harm lungs or cause COPD — it actually protects lungs from cancer. Also true: Cannabis doesn’t increase impaired driving crashes or fatalities, and more pot access = fewer booze crashes. Find the links to research/studies here:

Cannabis Kills Cancer Cells. “Dr. Bob Melamede is a key cannabis advocate with doctoral degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics. His computer has 13,000 cannabis research articles on it, 1000 of which demonstrate the anti-cancer power of cannabis.” rxleaf.com/cannabis-advocate…

Licensed Producers connected to Liberal Party & cops lobbied gov'ts at all levels for dispensary raids. Here's media - they brag about it:

I am more frightened under weed being legal now than I ever was when it was illegal.

Suit guy: I've been in "the game" since 2015! Next suit guy: "You're an OG!" .. fucking retards. They're OGs alright #obnoxious #goofs
Been in the game since 2015, some have accused me of being a vet in the legal industry! Not everyone could attend those panels there chief, though I've been around to experience many shifts and feel very fortunate to have been witness of the evolution from MMPR to present 👌

There is no difference in CBD derived from hemp and CBD derived from cannabis. But CBD derived from cannabis is generally more effective because of the "entourage effect." CBD isolate from hemp only contains CBD. CBD from cannabis contains other cannabinoids and terpenes.

Guess who cashes in while this mess is sorted through the courts? Cops, law enforcement, “security industry” makers of (flawed, faulty) drug/alcohol testing devices — to the tune of billions of dollars. Who pays? The taxpayers. Who else? The victims who have to pay for court...
