So I am a legit skilled grower with 30 years experience and a medical license… How can I take it to the next level and make a career from it ?

Apply for a nursery licence to sell seed or clones or a production licence to sell bud . Both have lots of hoops and red tape , seed and clones is less requirements .

I recommend micro cultivation, you don’t need an expensive security system. You do need to have the zoning to allow for micro cultivation, so check the bylaws.

you see, when you start with a statement that is already wrong, there is nowhere left to go.
Do you think someone could make money with this under the Health Canada regulations ?

If you’re an experienced savvy nusinessman with connections YES If you’re a great grower with no assets or property, no… IMO

Note how I could back it up and others were able to show further examples.
I’m sorry but there’s a massive over-representation of liberal party affiliated persons ranging from the provincial regulatory agencies, to the corporate boards of the players in the industry.
One member of my family has started distancing themselves and withdrawing from their roles in the party and riding association over it after the 7-8th time being recruited for cannabis industry jobs at extremely high levels. No they don’t have any relevant skills or experience for those jobs.

I looked at the licence costs for what they call a micro grow, but it’s still fairly large if your stepping up from a home grow or even a large medical grow if you want to go to it’s full size. Just the license was $5,000 plus any lawyers fees if you need explanation.
You will need a lawyer if your going for a big grow op to start with, to explain the government wording which as usual is very ambiguous and confusing, as you see with the acmpr forms, only a thousand times worse. The licences are $23,000 for each part of production, testing and packaging, selling and shipping. They estimate somewhere between $150,000 and $200,000 depending on lawyers charges.
I was asked by a relative of my nephew’s partner, to explain growing weed and what is required, he had $1.5 million and wanted to start a 200,000 sq ft grow.
He already had most of the licences as his company makes naturopathic medicines, and he also has contacts in the NS government, which he thought would make it easier, he gave up after 18 months of consultations with them and lawyers, and decided it’s not worth the hassle.
The system is designed to take a lot of money away from whomever wants to produce it, to fill the government’s coffers and limit competition to a few.

We have slid down to politics and that inevitably brings some flames and name-calling.

Dude that was all set up by Harper and it was almost completely run by his cronies right after ‘legalization’, AKA Prohibition 2.0, first came in. Trudeau just finalized the deal Harper set up but didn’t have the balls to call for legalization as his base was much more opposed to it than the Liberal base was.
Do a little research to find out what really happened.
I’m no Liberal supporter, vote NDP, but while it’s true that Trudy is supporting corporate cannabis he’s just following what was set up by the Cons. It’s the Cons calling for changes to personal growing and the medical pot regulations to continue the rip-off. Exactly why clones and seeds are not available and there was/is a law against using black market seeds.
LPs claiming that they don’t want to be selling their genetics are total BS as they stole what they have from the black market in the first place. They just renamed the strains and claimed them as their own as the original breeders had no way to copy-write all their hard work developing some of the top strains we all toke and love. eg: Cannatonic became Sentinel with Aurora.
The blame lays squarely on the shoulders of the Cons but Trudy is not blameless for perpetuating it.

Please provide sources, harper made it clear that he would never decriminalize.
But according to you he built the process. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

Good for you but sucks to hear for others. 4 months for a renewals means even longer for those with new applications.

Ah shit, yeah, you’re right. I sent mine in, in July or August figuring it may take a bit longer (current license expires in a few days). And I wanted it asap because I want to double my plant count.

I saw a list once that had a cross reference to all the LPs strains to what they actually were. Anyone have a current copy? I never thought to bookmark it at the time.

Aurora and places that brand strains to suit there appeal and lure of a name need a swift kick in the ass as far as I’m concerned. I’d got into a heated argument with the bull shit names there using . Call it what it is the dummy’s that don’t know shit might learn the proper strain names .
It’s like oh let’s call this calm or rest or day break a lot of people buying from a dispensary oh ya will-it give me a buzz or grandma wondering if it works for who knows what ?
Or go some place and your buddy asks what your smoking oh it’s ocean breeze from aurora . I don’t think so Charlie Brown .

you realize you just asked him for proof for something when you failed to provide any yourself except for your logical fallacy “do your own research”. I guarantee there is no check box for party affiliation in the CTLS.
Gish galloping onto “the top players” doesn’t prove your “100%” point.
Posers who are just innit for the money, will not last. This includes people just making up stupid names for their product. I got news for them… it’s not about marketing.

His claim of the liberals just followed the conservatives previous plans is just abjectly false. Harper bet on there were more non potheads, and lost. Trying to claim he had some hidden decriminalization agenda requires proof.
Even in Alberta - AGLC ended up hiring a bunch of very liberal connected people to handle decriminalization. Optics are as bad as biden now employing peter neffenger (ceo of smartmatic - you know the digital voting system used in the election) as part of the transition team.
