Thanks Bill. I did not send out a press release about the victory but I knew that they would catch on. Lots of coverage today.

This research shows that compassion clubs are needed now more than ever. Thank you to Heather Marilou and everyone else involved.

Commentary: Seventy percent of Americans, including majorities of both Democratic and Republican voters, say marijuana should be legal. But in GOP-led states like Ohio, lawmakers choose to either ignore these voters or treat them with outright hostility.

People don’t fall out of windows in Russian. They get pushed out and the news makes it seem like suicide rather than Russia being a lawless country

The world has lost an incredible woman. Corrie Yelland cured herself of anal cancer by making cannabis suppositories. Ever since then she was on a mission to help others learn how to use cannabis to fight cancer saving thousands of lives. She was a member of the VCBC through her journey.

Reading George Orwell’s 1984 again right now. I recommend it to anyone who wants to read something that makes you think that things could be worse than they seem to be right now.

The medical cannabis program in Canada is so flawed that the VCBC has not complied. We have been raided and fined millions of dollars since legalization yet we remain open for our patients. Every day we continue our work is a miracle that is extending and improving lives.

While I was never on Twitter/X, I have used Facebook for over 10 years and this site is far superior to any other social media platform I’ve used. I love how easy it is to get news from around the world and read stimulating debate rather than seeing ads, memes and rude commentary

I guess it makes sense to give Public Safety to a cop, but ACAB! Will Begg be receptive to the rights of folks who presently have to break the law to acquire and use their cannabis medicine? @tedsmithvcbc.bsky.social

Yes it is sad to see what the government has done. I run the oldest compassion club in Canada and even though we have been raided 3 times since legalization we continue to operate illegally because we are keeping people alive.

I work in the industry but not legal yet. Hopefully one day when the medical cannabis program is actually functioning I can go legal

In 1996, I founded the Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club to supply patients with cannabis products.Since then I have been on the front line of the battle for access to cannabis medicines. I published HEMPOLOGY 101: THE HISTORY AND USES OF CANNABIS SATIVA in 2012 and was publisher of the Cannabis Digest.

This is a very important point that most people don’t appreciate. One of the reasons why we have remained illegal is because our patients need high doses of THC at a price that they can afford
