- enclaved, on 11/01/2009, -0/+15lets put this in drug terms
the government fronted the weed. - BinkyStuttocks, on 11/01/2009, -2/+16No, your typical marijuana user would rather NOT stiff a drug dealer.
- binaryloop, on 11/01/2009, -2/+14Meh. Dope dealers figured this out a loooooong time ago. Try asking your pot dealer to front your a quarter. Unless he's a close relative, or you leave some collateral, it ain't happening.
- hydrodev, on 11/01/2009, -6/+17And you don't your comments.
- piieerrrree, on 11/01/2009, -2/+11Okay?
- FyberOptic, on 11/01/2009, -7/+15What's that? Potheads being irresponsible? What are the odds!
- Propethic, on 11/01/2009, -1/+8dope is heroin
- Asheis, on 11/01/2009, -2/+9I don't quite understand - how are they not paying when they order it?
- Asheis, on 11/01/2009, -1/+8good on ya all. maybe you can explain instead of digging me down, I dont know how the system works.
- inactive, on 11/01/2009, -5/+11Excellent diction. It makes perfect sense.
- YF19AVF, on 11/01/2009, -2/+8Man, if there is one thing I have learned about buying weed it's; Never hand over the money before you get the product. It's just common sense.
- Krekko, on 11/01/2009, -2/+7Ummm, Ill do that.
- inactive, on 11/01/2009, -14/+19You mean that pot smokers are lazy and don't their bills? Who would of guessed?
- Eikon89, on 11/01/2009, -1/+6I think I just accidentally a coke bottle.
- alpha88, on 11/01/2009, -0/+5If he can't pay a $4,200 bill, regardless of the kind, maybe he should.. oh I dunno.. get a job?
- cruzweb, on 11/01/2009, -2/+6More info on how much it costs would be helpful. Is it $5/g across the board or are there price breaks if you order in bulk? Either way, it's still a better system than the patient / caregiver crap we have here in Michigan.
- Complex13, on 11/01/2009, -3/+7"Most users, though, cannot recoup the cost of their cannabis from governments because medical marijuana has never been assigned official drug status under the Food and Drug Act and is therefore not covered by any provincial pharmacare programs."
You know how you can solve this problem........ - johnlandes, on 11/01/2009, -3/+7"One Health Canada customer in Surrey, B.C., says he will never be able to pay his $4,200 accumulated bill -- and argues he should not have to.
Davison, 41, was cut off from Health Canada's weed about 18 months ago, and now must go to the black market for some of his marijuana, which he uses to control pain and nausea."
stiff the gov't - smeared credit report
stiff the black market - smeared face (if you're lucky) - randmcnally, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3
well that's the problem right there. - fury420, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3if it was very high quality it almost certainly was NOT the official health canada authorized marijuana that patients buy direct from the govt through the program this article describes, unless things have changed drastically in the last year or two without anyone noticing & mentioning it.
The stuff produced by Prairie Plant Systems for the Govt would be considered well below average on the recreational cannabis market. For medical users the legal choice between growing their own & accepting something akin in potency to a mid grade outdoor seems unacceptable when Compassion Clubs offer much better products for similar prices all while being much more accessible to the patients. - georgetds, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3Because you thought wrong?
- ftc08, on 11/01/2009, -1/+4That's just good dealing. Never give anybody any weed before they pay you.
- bandomac, on 11/01/2009, -0/+3Bingo Binky.
- 007brendan, on 11/01/2009, -2/+4The last sentence of the article was kind of disturbing:
"Department officials have said they will eventually phase out all personal production, forcing patients to order all their dope from the government, perhaps through pharmacy distribution."
How is that a good thing? - cotdagoo, on 11/01/2009, -1/+3so medical marijuana patients are lazy ***** potheads? (and stupid?) is it possible that smoking pot would be helpful/beneficial given what ails them and essentially be what a doctor has prescribed to help someone deal with their illness? but ya.. those stupid canuck lazy ***** potheads eh? the nerve of them!
- xerexes1, on 11/01/2009, -0/+2Healthcare is funded by the Federal and Provincial governments. Prescriptions drugs, which includes medical marijuana, is not included. However, there is a subsidy, so Canadians should not have to go without medication or go into debt to pay for it.
- Scotty87, on 11/01/2009, -0/+2You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. People get stab and shot for ripping a dealer off. Pot smokers would more often pay their dealer(s) then mortgage.
- Propethic, on 11/01/2009, -1/+3Or you happen to live on a college campus and don't get it from people over 27
- oreobarbie, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2Who offers drugs with bills? Golden rule: Get the money first.
- AlaskanDad, on 11/02/2009, -1/+2Terminally ill always have Great Jobs & lotsa ca$h and Fat Bank Accounts to pay for Medical Marijuana, no problem for them to get and keep high paying jobs.
- hydrodev, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1Pretty sure that's what I was implying, Sweet Pea.
- moskrin, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1What a bring down
- Darrelc, on 11/01/2009, -2/+3Do you in canada / america not get lay ons / chuck / tick? I can bell my dealer for a 20's and pay him friday
- pinchduck, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Thanks for letting me know.
- lyakamovich, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1Maybe if the weed wasn't DIRT they would have paid for what it's worth. Dirt ain't worth ***** so stop crying about it and give these people their POT.
- uevan, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1That's the last time I drink coffee and read digg comments at the same time. I need a napkin.
- inactive, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1@Propethic
You're here to actually make friends? You should change your username to Pathetic. - inactive, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Unlike most of you morons, I don't look for e-acceptance here on digg. I post whatever I think, not what I hope the diggtards will digg up so I can somehow feel part of an imaginary group of internet retards.
Feel free to continue finding comfort knowing that there's +32 other lifeless fat virgins who like what you post. - fury420, on 11/01/2009, -2/+3Its really not that great a system.
The marijuana provided by Health Canada is poor quality. Last I heard it still comes pre-ground and tastes/smells like crap. There is no choice of strain, potency, preparation, etc... For a product with such variability in terms of active ingredients, as well as the medical conditions it is used for, it seems rather pointless to offer just the one option. Plus, its grown in an abandoned mine, so there have been concerns voiced about heavy metal contamination.
You are much, much better off dealing with a compassion club. The one around here offers dozens of medical marijuana products for ingestion, oral & topical use. - RossCraig, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1Yeah, we only wish our medication was free! My wife takes a drug that is $1000 a month! I am glad we have a drug plan.
- Propethic, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1so you're just here to troll?
- InactiveUser, on 11/01/2009, -2/+3Mah woman smoked mah stash man!!
