RE:RE:RE:More News: LCBO will run 150
Hi Star...thank you, as always, for your contribution.
Just one thing: In Canada, unlike the USA, there is no such thing as a 'grey market' Those who run those dispensaries are criminals comiting criminal acts and are being tag at the moment to ensure they NEVER have a place in legal cannabis
In the state it is different: it is illegal at federal level but 'legal' at state level (that still makes it illegal...hence the 'grey market'
This, on the other hand may change:
Back in 2014, lawmakers passed an amendment to the federal budget to protect state-legalized medical marijuana industries and the patients they serve. The amendment prevented the DEA from spending a single penny on enforcing cannabis prohibition in those states. It didn't overturn federal cannabis prohibition or legalize medical marijuana, but it did tie the Department of Justice's hands by freezing their finances.
At the time, medical marijuana was legal in 21 states, a number that has grown to 30 since then. But they could all be shuttered soon because that amendment — which has to be renewed with every budget — was rejected yesterday by the House Rules Committee. That means the House can't include the rider in their final version of the federal budget.
