Cannabis Buyer’s Club Up-dates
By admin | July 3, 2004
We would like to make a mass submission to Health Canada for the medical licenses to possess medical marijuana this spring. Many people have taken the forms, but most seem to be saving them or mailing them in themselves. The biggest challenge most of us face is finding a doctor to support the application process. Without backup from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, most doctors seem reluctant. Two of the main clarifications we’ve made are there are two seperate health categories to apply under. You do not need your landlords permission to grow if you are using your primary residence. If you have any questions please contact Gayle Quin or Steve Palmer at the club, or Health Canada at 1-866-337-7705.
We were very pleased with the results of the silent art auction. We raised $1200 for our wonderful and competent lawyer Robert Moore-Stewart. Robert was moved to tears when he accepted our efforts. Everyone enjoyed it so much we are going to try and make it a yearly event.
The November 15, 2003 rally had a smaller than expected crowd due mainly to a very cold and wet day. We had a great time though, and the highlight of the day came when a Victoria constable came and shook Ted’s hand. he was concerned with our well-being and wanted to make sure no one was harassing us.
On Feb. 20, the Victoria News wrote that, “Victoria inspector Bill Naughton said police have backed off enforcement on the clubs for two reasons- the presence of much more harmful drugs and the lack of clear direction from the courts. The courts have required that people have a document to obtain medical marijuana, but there is no source for them.” While this is no guarantee that the club will not be raided again we all feel much more at ease in the store.
The santa cannabis party raised $400 for Robert Moore-Stewart. The music had brief technical difficulties, which unfortunately resulted in us not being able to listen to Green Law Avenue. With the help of some cannnabis carolers, things were fixed and soon forgotten as we rocked the night away with the Delegates, Zola Bud and King Bong.
On January 28, 2004, the CBCoC celebrated it’s 8th anniversary. the night was full of good music, great food brought in by all and an ounce of roach joints rounded the evening off to a point of no return…..until next year!
