Could somebody explain "designated producer" to me?

Court challenge aims to legalize all cannabis use

Could a medical user conceivably supply themselves in Canada?

It's hard to believe that this is going to go anywhere, but we can hope.

Well it went somewhere in 2003 for a short time. Though from what i have herd even that wasn't completely settled.

As for supplying yourself. If you have a legal license to use cannabis in Canada then you can choose to apply for a license to grow for your own medical reasons. Otherwise you can choose someone to grow on your behalf.

I do believe the process is rather long and drawn out and most likely difficult to even get into.

Good Post V8 Child

I would really like to see the the article happen, to the benefit of legalized posession and cultivation, but don't hold your breath.

The conservatives, Prime Minister Harper, have Bill C-15 which has past first round so far and if continues successfully may be law by this fall. This holds for MANDATORY minimum jail sentences for possesion and cultivation....10 step backwards from where we were 5 years ago, and a parallel system like US which we know to be failing, just filling up jails etc...and hitting up small time growers like most of us

The Liberals have introduced a private bill to decriminalize MJ so this cannot hurt our cause...

I believe a designated producer is one who has applied for med MJ use and received approval. You can grow for yourself...or an approved MJ user can designate someone to grow for them....(as Noted by andg_93)

My wife is too nervous to apply for Med MJ status, but I sure wish she would, she meds for arthritis, and me I love to grow and smoke, I would quit my real job and start putting my years of gardening to good use for folks who need it.

Lets hope that Canada gets back on the right track....real fast

Also andg_93. I am not so sure the process is that tough, once you have a doctor who will sign....I have 2 friends who went thru it and had their papers in 4 1/2 months...not so bad...

I looked into a medical release to use cannabis and I was told by two different advertised physicians that I needed some kind of diagnosis from a third physician before they could apply me for the release. I'm not sure where to go from there. I have no medical plan, although I have a medical record in a hospital system.

Why is your wife nervous about getting a medical release? Myself, I find some relief already for digestive problems. I have a huge list of stuff I cannot digest, starting with dairy products and ending up with gluten. I get pretty miserable.

She is conservatively minded and is worried about neighbors and family finding out that she uses MJ. Also, even though I have outdoor grown for many years to support hers and my use, she is worried about the police coming to check out grow etc....once i would become her designated grower. Also it invites them, Health Canada, OPP etc...(provincial police), access at anytime to your grow and she just does not want this hassle....sure wish I could figure out some way to change her mind as I would love to be legal grower and would sure lighten up my stress on growing illegally.

Are you in Canada V8?
