Health committee  A lot of these things depend on your interpretation as representing the free market/black market. I would say that's more business for us if the government wants to neglect that area. What we're really looking for in legalization is a reduction in the price over time because so

Health committee  Well, then it's inadequate, simply put. However, here's the thing. What's also important is that there's no apology. The government has to admit that this policy's been wrong for 50 years and that demonizing, persecuting, arresting, and charging 2.4 million Canadians was wrong-he

Health committee  You said you were going to legalize. You didn't say this was a halfway measure to get somewhere. This was promised as legalization by the Prime Minister during the last election.

Health committee  That's unusual. If a border official does a Google search and finds that you've got any relationship with marijuana, they're likely to bar you from entering, at least at that time, and for up to 30 days and possibly permanently. There are lots of examples of Canadians now permane

Health committee  Our objective is that there be no punishment of any kind for the use of cannabis, any more than there is for responsible use of alcohol or a home brew in your own home. I can own a vineyard. With my criminal record, I can't seemingly get a licence to produce marijuana, but I can

Health committee  I have a good solution. Our Canadian farmers currently grow cannabis on thousands and thousands of acres in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta. They use it for seeds, but it's the same plant. It's marijuana. They can grow this marijuana. They can grow marijuana that would sell

Health committee  What have you had against us for 50 years, is the big thing.

Health committee  Goodness, no. It's all wrong. In fact, to answer your colleague's question about whether I will continue to break the law, absolutely. Breaking the law is the only way that Cannabis Culture has been able to get any kind of improvement in its status over the last 20 years. For exa

Health committee  That won't be supportable. I will encourage everybody to boycott the government stores. We will physically try to stop people from going in. We're going to advise them that they're traitors if they go to the government shops, because these are the people who have oppressed us for

Health committee  Bill C-45 accomplishes no objective whatsoever that is desirable. The thing is, it's staring us all in the face. If we want the price to plummet to the point that money is not even a factor with marijuana; if we want all Canadians to be treated fairly before the law; if we want t

Health committee  I look forward to the five, Mr. Chair, and thank you for inviting us. We are from Cannabis Culture, which has been an activist organization since 1994 that has been dedicated to overgrowing this government, which in our language is to legalize this government. I said “overgrow”
