Lawsuit re Medical Marijuana Grow Op

[TenPenny]

This one is amusing:

The Nova Scotia government is facing a lawsuit by a couple claiming the province should pay for their equipment to produce medical marijuana because they're too poor.
Sam and his wife, Tanya, have disabilities and are on income assistance. They both have licences from Health Canada to grow marijuana for their own use and are allowed to keep a total of 25 plants.
But the Cumberland County couple say they don't have the money to cover the lighting costs.
"We're out of medication quite often," Sam told CBC News. "We can't keep up on the amount that we need to grow"

This one is amusing:

Groovy! Or at least cover the cost of the medicine. :lol:

The next lawsuit will be to cover the higher (no pun intended) of Doritos and other associated snack foods.

It's going to be fun to watch this one unfold.

I'm wondering if this is consistant with prescription costs?ie If I did not have the money for prescribed drugs, would the NS government provide me with free medication?

When I looked into medical use and medical growing, on top of equipment, etc., I'd have also had to prove adequate security for the value of my crop. If you can't afford equipment, can you afford security?

In Sk they pay for Rxed pot. Hopefully NB will follow suit.

No matter what some of your opinions are canabinoids are medications that are proven to work.

If you don't want somebody to use pot medically then you've got some head issues and need to light up a nice mellow sativa to calm you down.

this raises a fundamental question: does the license imply a right own in this country? If it does, then I hope we get a SCC ruling on this. I would love to cite my firearms licence as proof that I have the right to own a firearm.

If you need a license to do something, by the very nature of making you ask and apply, you have no 'right' to do it, you are merely granted permission to do whatever it is, when all criteria are met.

Rifles aren't a health issue. So good luck with that.

When I had my MMAR license before I had my spine adjusted and beefed up with titanium, it cost around a $1000 to set up a really fancy little one light operation. These people also have the option of designating someone who can afford the investment to grow for them and charge them a small fee for their meds.

 

[cranky]

Additionally, I would say that a court should never rule in favor of this request.

The equipment is not the percieved right here, it is the remedy to a percieved right.

The equipment is merely 1 remedy to the situation. It isn't the only remedy.

When you get old....

No publically funded zimmer frame for you!

It's equipment!

This one is amusing:

To say the least. And it's something that is so easy to solve and would remove a multitude of enforcement costs. Have it available in drugstores upon prescription at an affordable price.

Suppositories only.

 

[petros]

JLM you're a good man!

Suppositories only.

They work the best. Great idea.

 

[cranky]

I want to start a grow op to support others.

My tag line will be "Your Sh*t is my bread and butter"

 

[JLM]

JLM you're a good man!

I always knew that, it's just convincing others that's the hard part. Thanks for getting the word out. :smile:

So why don't you? The bid for the Fed supply comes up every two years.

I hope you enjoy living you life 1800m deep in the earth, all day every day.

Trout Lake was a great place to work when it was open. Wet, dark, moldy and zinc rats the size of buffalo.

I don't know if it was a real study, or just a radio anouncer with a sense of humor, but

I heard on the radio that patients that use marijuana for their medical condition tend to experience chronic pain that lasts longer and more frequently than their counter parts that use other medicine.

Which Trout Lake are you talking about? The one between Revelstoke and Kaslo?

You should not be forced to pay for something you can grow on your own. I don't want to put too much of a conspiratorial spin on it, but, the day you can buy a plant but aren't allowed to cultivate it yourself is the day we're a step closer to having agri-corp companies completely controlling our food supply.
