Cannabis and the Therapeutic State

March 30, 2015March 30, 2015Judith StampsComment(0)

The Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club (V-CBC) is the beating heart of the Extract Trial. With thousands of active members, the discreet downtown Victoria dispensary founded by Ted Smith has served medical cannabis patients since 1996. The club barely skipped a beat after I was arrested and has since expanded and improved upon their product line. […]

Living the Supreme Dream

March 25, 2015March 27, 2015Ted SmithComment(0)

By Ted Smith Last Friday March 20 was a dream come true for myself and many other cannabis activists. Normally I would say you had to be there, but in this case there is actually a recording that will forever show the government dismally fail in its defense of the medical cannabis regulations.  Over the […]

March 24, 2015March 24, 2015Owen SmithComment(0)

By Owen Smith In this series of Blogs I am telling the story of the constitutional challenge to grant medical patients access to cannabis derivatives and extracts.

Catching Up With Sensible BC

March 24, 2015March 24, 2015Judith StampsComment(0)

By Judith Stamps Back in the fall of 2013, Sensible BC led a heroic attempt to make use of British Columbia’s Recall and Initiative Act to force a referendum on decriminalizing cannabis in BC.  The Act called for the signatures of 10% of the voting public in each of BC’s 85 electoral ridings.  Volunteers failed […]

I Fought The Law And The Law Lost

March 19, 2015March 19, 2015Ted SmithComment(0)

By Ted Smith Friday, March 20, 2015 will be forever etched in history as the day the laws prohibiting cannabis in Canada get proven to be counter-productive before the Supreme Court of Canada.  Never before has the highest court in the land been shown such strong evidence that the benefits of this incredible plant far […]
