Prime Minister Harper announced that legalization is coming in the next 10 years, tops. We have 6 months before the new regulations are in place, which open the floodgates for corporate cannabis providers. We're currently in a cannabis gold rush right now, so I figured this would be a great time to start a Cooperative that courts illegal growers into becoming legal ones, if just to prevent clogging the courts with people trying to produce medicine for sick people.
We've gotten a lot of support from Health Canada, too, as it seems that there's a massive contingent within that's unhappy with MMAR (the previous regulations) going away. We haven't even sought outside (public or semi-private) funding yet, because we haven't had to. :)
we have a website with a fantastic (imo) domain name, but we're keeping it quiet until we're closer to launch. hoping to pimp it here when it's ready.
