The Year Ahead- Bumps and Hazards

( Shotgun Kiss by Megan Allard of Vancouver )

WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING?

Good Bloody Question.

I’m sorry I haven’t been posting more but this New Year poses some real new questions. I’ve been sitting her brainstorming trying to sort the crap out with regard to what I have already got going and what to start looking at.

1. <><><><><><><> Extensions <><><><><><><><><>

We’re only 3 weeks into the New Year and the game is changing again. FB rumor has it that HC is going to start granting extensions for what? Growth? Nobody knows what’s happening or is going to happen. When does the Crime for growing more than six plants take effect? Is Justice going to delay its implementation to help HC defuse the price crisis that is going to happen in April? We know there isn’t going to be any subsidization as long as Mr. Harper is in the Driver’s Seat: The Government he’s driving does have a reverse gear: he’s just too dumb to find it.

2. <><><><><><><> Doctors <><><><><><><><><>

Regardless of what the HC does, what are the Physicians going to do now? It doesn’t matter what HC does with licenses as long as Physicians are the only ones who can sign applications to get them and they refuse and stay on strike. I can’t see them backing off and that is going to cause very severe problems in the not too distant future.

Canadian doctors are totally hung up on their self image as a member of a Brotherhood: a brotherhood worthy of respect and admiration for its dedication to the welfare of their patients. They are not. The Brotherhood is in violation of its Oath.

Members of the Physicians’ brotherhood in ancient times were granted the honorific title Doctor to precede their name. This was more than recognition of the honor and respect due them for their physical sacrifice and service in the care of the community. They were an integral component of a village size pool of patients within which they voluntarily wandered, and lived with as they rendered their medical treatment. As a semi-family member these physicians were privy to all social relationships of the community he serviced.

The title Doctor was granted more in recognition of an individual’s wisdom and guidance as an empathetic counselor and source of comfort and understanding. He alone was intimately aware of all the pressures in play both on the individual patient, and the community dependant on that patient. He knew his patients from birth until death; he knew their contribution and what their loss would mean to every member of the community.

Now I get to criticize our Modern Members of the CMA for their arrogance in demanding the impossible knowledge that is already available and refusing to sign. They have no idea of the damage they are inflicting on the patient pool they are sworn to support and not harm. I think I am going to enjoy pointing their short comings out.

3. <><><>< More Criminal Cop Crap ><><><>

Whatever happens with Harpo, Health Canada and the doctors: it has bugger-all influence when it comes to the CCC (Corrupted Canadian Cops): They’ve got the Blue Brotherhood; the Only Cops investigate Cops restrictions, and the abuse of self incrimination pleas to escape any penalty or incriminate others. They have become callous, arrogant and abusive and now face no deterrent to their violations of law and rights. I will continue to press for prosection of the OPP for Criminal Negligence.That will be a continuing focus over the coming year.

I just sent a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Justice asking for the complete file of my refused complaint and appeal. That will take 30 days? So I have time to investigate the possibilities of a weapon that will scare the hell out of cops. I think we have one at hand but it is only useful if it results in making all cops apprehensive about their job security and bad conduct penalties TBA.

4. <><><><> Grow-op Bylaw Exemption ><><><><><><>

In regard to my Questions to Surrey City Council about an exemption for Personal and Dedicated Growth in the city Bylaw structure I spoke to a lawyer for the City of Surrey this week and I didn’t get very far with obtaining an answer. I could not get answers to specific questions and I honestly didn’t know if he had read my complaint so I asked him if he had. He said he had so I advised him I wanted a lot more specific answers and I wanted them in writing. He agreed and I am now waiting for that. TBA

5. <><><><><> The Israeli Photo Op <><><><><><><

So Monday, Parliament is back and we get to watch the Circus in motion when they get down to business.

Now we don’t have to wait for Stevie boy to get back and down to business, the break has been business as usual. He just got back from a trip to Israel and Arabville. He did his usual spouting of lies and throwing away of money that should better be spent at home.

He just kissed his buddy President Benjamin’s arse and bought the Israeli public with his show of support and anti- Muslim rhetoric. Then, to deal with a stupid war with no end, dumps a half billion bucks split between Israel, Palestine, and Jordan. He’s handing out money to sworn enemies like a fucking drunken sailor does a whore. One side’s going to finance illegal settlements and the other is going to buy arms. Israel, Palestine, Jordan can now expect a whore’s treatment and get a fucking of some sort sooner or later

That Photo Op pretty much was a sheer waste of money but I don’t think that was the point of the trip. The point of the trip was an attempt to impress the average Jewish voter that should there be an election in Canada, Hanukkah Harpo is the guy to promote. How I think he attempted to accomplish this is another post to look forward to. LOL

6. <><><><>Too Much Shit To List<><><><>

While the foregoing items are the focus of interest at the moment, this year will see the continuance of all the contentious issues that have resulted from the Conservatives attack on our social system with its built in protections of the citizenry. We have problems in almost every area of Government. Stephen Harper has intentionally invaded and corrupted departmental systems to control more and more of the functions of government. Shuffling personnel, changing departmental structures, changing committees to influence their decisions to favor the government: altering deadlines and reporting requirements to restrict or control information flow to the opposition.

No-one knows in what order they will surface but all of the areas neglected by the government are going to fester more in the next two years of King Harpo’s reign. Not much more to say now: we just get to sit and watch and hear what Stevie the Weevil is going to lie about next. On that depressing note, once I hit Publish on this post I’m going into the bathroom to have a little cry.

What a fucked up future!

I know!

NOT SOON ENOUGH!

An Open Letter of Complaint to Surrey’s Mayor and Council

I Have a Bone to Pick With Surrey

They Finally Crossed the Line

Ever since I discovered Surrey’s blockade of Medical Marijuana I have been sitting and stewing in my own juice. I have had to listen to Fire Chief Len Garis on his bully pulpit preaching against the growing of Marijuana as a threat to the Community and nobody has ever stood up and cried “BULLSHIT”. I tried to take a positive step towards preventing the damage they are bringing on Surrey and I got a slap in the face and ordered to stay off City Property with my clipboard.

WHY!

Go Figure?

No one else is doing it so I decided to ask why they are swallowing

BULLSHIT!

Re: Surrey Policy regarding Marijuana Growth and the SensibleBC Referendum

Greetings Mayor Watts and Council:

1.    My name is Blaine Barrett and I am a Medical Marijuana advocate and Licensee.

2.    I have lived in Surrey the past 22 years but if I was not married and anchored I would have left in disgust 5 years ago.

3.    I injured my back in 1999 and I still have a problem with pain flare ups and depression. Neurologically and Psychologically Marijuana allows me to function almost normally.

4.    It took me 7 years but I was finally able to find a doctor to sign my application and received my MMAD License in 2009. I am a Senior Citizen on fixed income and knowing Surrey had By-laws regarding grow-ops I decided to grow my own. My 2 gram per day dosage was small and would only require 10 plants. I have a large spare bathroom to create a grow-op so I decided to apply for a License.

5.    This City Council, where I chose to live, became my enemy when I discovered the complete impossibility of meeting any requirements to obtain a legal license to grow my own supply of marijuana for medication.

6.    Since the creation of the Medical Marihuana Access Regulations the City of Surrey, based largely on the advice of Fire Chief Len Garis has developed a set of prohibitive by-law requirements that stand as a model for the rest of Canadian Municipalities in effectively blocking any legal growth of Medical Marijuana

7.    Over the past decade Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis has been a tireless opponent of Grow-ops. He has established himself and the City as the leading opponents of Medical Marijuana Growth by creating a Bylaw structure that is impossible to meet except by a major corporation with unlimited finance.

8.    I wanted to grow perhaps 15 plants in a large closet and do it safely. I know how.

9.    In order to do so I must complete an application form requiring detailed planning beyond any individual’s ability. Even if I manage to complete the application it has to be accompanied by an initial Inspection fee of $3920. As a comparison my current 2 grams per day allowance will cost me $3780 dollars per year from Health Canada and next April will probably double in price. I will wind up paying $8-$10/gram or grow it for less than $2/gram. With inspection and supervision it can grown safely. I want to!

10.                       I am confident Council thinks there is a good basis of facts justifying the City’s opposition but reality is the whole structure is based on Chief Garis’s carefully crafted distortion of the risks involved with legal grow-ops and you have all been misled. He has established a reputation as the leading Canadian expert on home grow hazards and he’s using our By-law as a model to emulate and its all a pack of lies.

11.                       Chief Garis has spent the last ten years trumpeting the horrible consequences of permitting grow-ops: Fire Hazards, Safety hazards, toxic chemicals, home invasion, and danger to children, mold, and criminal involvement. Over and over he has pounded his allegations that all of these are related and inevitable with the cultivation of marijuana and that is a carefully and calculated lie and distortion of fact.

12.                       The risks that are constantly regurgitated by Chief Garis are the source of the New Health Canada Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations justification for establishing a no grow-op policy as a risk reduction measure. Chief Garis may have encountered all of the risks in his experience with Illicit Drugs and illegal criminal grow-ops but none of them are relevant to the growth of marijuana. The fact is that every one of them is ridiculous when applied to a legally licensed and monitored Grow-op. When someone applies for a license, check out the location and supervise the construction: then inspect it! If it’s not safe don’t license it. Simple common sense but Chief Garis can’t understand that.

13.                       There has been no attempt made by the City to keep up to date with advances in grow technology and reality is that there are grow tents and other facilities that separate the growth area from all its its surrounding environment and any possible interaction with the room surrounding is impossible except when opened for service. There are no hazards.

14.                       If the above dangers are real and are to be avoided there is nothing pro-active in Surrey policy to prevent them. As soon as the MMPR is implemented there is going to be a massive demand for affordable marijuana and there will be none: Not legal, not from the street. If you need your medication you have to grow it and when that day happens, Surrey is going to become deluged with small illegal grow- ops. There is no alternative.

15.                       The by-laws as they now stand are an impassable roadblock to any legal growth. The alternative of applying to the City for help in creating a safe grow-op has been eliminated. There is no access to guidance as to how to create a legal grow environment with none of the hazards to grow our medication. That option is not available and won’t be unless you make a crack in the wall. Nobody else can. Thanks to Chief Garis lead by creating this blockage you have now exposed every citizen of Surrey to far more serious hazard than the loss of property:

1. Arrest,

2. a Criminal Record,

3. a mandatory prison sentence, and

4. a ruined future life with lost opportunity.

16.                       Last week I set out and tried to prevent that happening. I recently received my Certification from Elections Canada as a Canvasser for the SensibleBC Referendum to Decriminalize Marijuana and I needed a site to do so and the Guildford Community Centre seemed a suitable place with a reasonable flow of traffic. I enquired and was told to contact City Hall for permission..

17.                       At the beginning of last week I contacted City Hall and asked if I could set up a small site at the Guildford Recreation Center to get signatures for the SensibleBC Referendum on Marijuana Decriminalization. My request was turned down on the grounds Surrey “does not allow solicitation on City Property” End of that! This did not compute.

18.                       The next morning I called again and protested: I advised the Manager I spoke to that a Referendum is not a Solicitation or signing of a petition: It is the exercise of a right to vote for a change in law. I was informed that was immaterial and there was no way that I could legally walk onto City Properly and ask for a signature.

19.                       I am here to protest that Surrey City Policy has trumped my rights as a Citizen of this Country, this Province, and of Surrey.

20.                        All Surrey citizens have the right to be informed of where the nearest voting location for the Referendum is, and I, as a Surrey citizen, have the right to inform him of that. I am a Registered Canvasser for SensibleBC, carrying Elections Canada Forms for signature. The SensibleBC program has had problems because people don’t know where to go to sign the Referendum. I am now forbidden to walk into a “public” space, contact a potential voter, identify myself and explain that if that person is interested in signing the Referendum and would like to know where to go to sign, he just found it.

21.                        Wake up. This Referendum has no connection to Marijuana (Medical or otherwise) and its growth, but “Decriminalization” of Marijuana is to prevent prosecution for possession under the Criminal Code of Canada. Our fearless leader, Stevie the Stupid seems determined to ram his omnibus bill, (including mandatory prison sentences for growers of more than six plants), and the new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations through Parliament in April, If he succeeds, and it seems inevitable, we all have a problem but the main concern to me is for parents in the community The primary threat is to any teenager who against parental advice gets caught with any amount of marijuana in their possession. The fact is that every teen knows better than Dad at some point: errors in judgment are inevitable.

22.                       If both are passed, this Council, under the guidance of Chief Garis, will be guilty of placing every youth living in Surrey under threat of arrest, a Criminal Record, possible imprisonment, and a guaranteed loss of future opportunity as a consequence. THE MMPR is founded on the intentionally biased and distorted hazards presented by Surrey as your justification for installing by-laws to prevent personal growth. You bought Chief Garis bullshit and now you’re going to get bit back. Good on you.

23.                        In Conclusion there is one other matter that must be included. At the current moment: under Chief Garis lead Council is considering amendments to the Controlled Substance Property Bylaw that will require owners of residential properties containing medical marijuana grow-ops to remediate the facilities in order to protect future owners from health risks associated with growing the plant. There are none, it’s all lies.

24.                       The amendment is a paranoid premature money grab. There is no justification for Surrey to be able to enter my home to determine whether I am growing and hit me with an exorbitant inspection fee and if I am growing, post that information on file as a warning to any prospective buyer of my home to reduce their risk. Then you must report me to the same distorted justice to which you are going to expose your children: Arrest, a Criminal Record and possible imprisonment.

25.                       If protection of the future owner is the aim, simply make it mandatory that all premises be inspected if and when they are put up for sale. If I want to live in my home for the next twenty years until I die and never sell it. Why should I have to pay in advance? Any risk until my death is my risk. Do your punitive inspection then when I die. If there’s not enough bucks in my estate then burn the damned place, sell the property and give the proceeds to a charity I am quite prepared to name in my will if that option is open.

26.                       On a final note I am given to understand that Chief Garis has already bragged he has a hit list of 800 suspect properties to be inspected. If he has I want to know where he got that information. Given the rampant invasions of privacy that have plagued medical marijuana growers I suspect that Health Canada has already provided him with all the locations of licensed grow ops in Surrey. Every Licensee of the MMAR was given to believe that all their information was Top Secret in Health Canada files. I suspect that the Harper Government has reneged on that promise and every municipality in Canada has been provided with a hit list of Licensee’s holding production licenses.

In conclusion I only want answers to two questions:

1.    Why and where does Surrey get the authority to forbid me to canvass on city property?

2.    What is the source of Chief Garis 800 Suspect list?

Thank you for your time, attention and consideration

I look forward to your reply

Medical Marijuana with TheSmeeGoanGuy

http://goan-smee.blogspot.ca/ .

The first and foremost mistake you made you fool was to not admit you had never seen my complaint or had simply failed to read it beyond the six months deadline criteria or you would have noticed the crime is still in progress.

I can’t stop the bastards but you can and to fail to do is Malfeasance in office and you are guilty of a crime against every one of the 4100 victims who’s Medical Files have still not been returned to them.  The crime is still in progress. Get it?

Just in case you are too stupid to even know what malfeasance is:

When a contract creates a duty that does not exist at common law, there are three things the parties can do wrong:

• Nonfeasance is to ignore and take no indicated action - neglect.
• Misfeasance is to take inappropriate action or give intentionally incorrect advice.
• Malfeasance is hostile, aggressive action taken to injure the client's interests.

You’re guilty of all three.

You rejected my complaint because I didn’t ask for help. I told you to read the fucking complaint and arrogant egocentric narcissistic bureaucrats don’t take orders.

You never once thought about what the potential damage could be as a result of one vindictive Cop holding onto 4100 Medical files. You are really fucking stupid. These are not the files of just anybody! They are all for very sick people who needed them returned to maintain symptom relief. You gave absolutely no consideration to that even though you have to be aware that these are the severe symptoms of major diseases.

Have you even read an MMAR Form B1 or B2? There is not one qualifying condition that does not have its own unique battery of nasty symptoms. Have you any idea of the nasty side effects of the touted Big Pharma drugs? I didn’t think so: you’re too busy counting your return on your Pharmaceutical Portfolio. The last thing you fucking Big Shots Bureaucrats and Doctors want is something to cure Cancer. You’re income would be shot down to middle class and that is unthinkable.

I am going to make you think about how you fucked up. I am going to attempt to contact every one of Dr. Kamermans Patients and ask them to file a formal complaint with you for the crime that is still being committed against them.

I’m going to make it easy for them and prepare a template that all they have to do is fill in their details and send it to you. The crime is identical to mine that you refused to investigate. All they have to do is file the form, reference my complaint number and declare the details are identical and advise you the crime is still in progress.

What you gonna do now fat boy? I hope to create even more fun for you and you can look forward to a flood of complaints about the same fucking crime by the same fucking cop and you have to deal with each as a separate complaint. Enjoy your future problem. Too bad you can’t use that tried and true six months bullshit over and over but I don’t think that will wash now. You’ll need some creating thinking here or

“HOLY MARY! Mother of Christ!”

You might actually have to get off your ass, start an investigation and get those valuable files returned to their owners. Somehow I doubt you have either the power or the skill to pull that off.

On a personal note Gerry, I honestly wish you could experience all of the pain, the vomiting, the shits and the manifold other soul wrecking symptoms inflicting that patient pool. I thought that Stephen Harper was the lowest form of slime sucker but your even lower in the cesspool.

Have a good day

I am.

The Mernagh/Kamermens Difference

Warriors, Victims and the Law

A Clarification Regarding the Difference

between

Matt Mernagh v. Dr. Rob Kamermans

At the beginning of August I wrote An Open Letter To Matt Mernagh that resulted in a back and forth series of increasingly revealing e-mails that effectively destroyed the high regard in which I held him. I expected to contact a compassionate Medical Marijuana proponent, knowledgeable, and most importantly someone up to date on the impact that the vindictive application of the Law can have on a victim. So much for expectations based on propaganda.

What did I find?

A complete and total asshole! I was advised that all Dr. Kamermans had to do was hang in and just do as he had done and everything would work out fine. Matt didn’t believe that Doctor Kamermans was in any sort of money trouble! If his pro-bono College provided lawyers had weaseled out he wouldn’t have any trouble getting a new crew, all he had to do was pay for them. Ho! Ho! Ho!

To say I was surprised is an understatement so I decided to check out just what Matt had done to earn his reputation as The King of Pot. Just how relevant was his conflict with the Law to that of Dr. Kamermans? Turns out Matt’s high opinion of his own legal expertise is based on fuck all except patience and perseverance.

It took him ten years, a crew of supporters, and a hotshot lawyer to lose and consent to get a License from Health Canada. Big deal, he lost but in the narrow mind of his followers he’s a hero because he had the balls to attack before he became a victim. That makes any similarity between the two cases a straight impossibility.

What further destroys Matt in my eyes is that he’s got a loose fucking mouth. In one of my communications to Matt I specifically asked that he keep confidential the information that I was considering asking Bob Erb to consider helping Dr. K.

I never followed through with that intention but within one week, the slimy fake name slander artist Coe Hill was spouting my confidential information on Facebook. I have no idea who Coe Hill might be and I don’t care. When I see Matt and I have one mutual friend we share and that is Johnny Fredette, then that is all the linkage I need to establish his source of facts about Dr. Kamermans to be coming directly from The Baleful Bitches of Bancroft. He’s a believer in gutter gossip and not to be trusted.

Sorry for the departure into Character analysis when what needs clarification is the difference in the two cases and that means outlining what each of these legal combatants faced in the years of legal confrontation and therein lays the difference.

Matt is a Warrior: Dr. Kamermans is a victim.

Let’s take a look at what happened to Matt, the warrior, during the course of his encounter with the law.

First off, Matt was guilty of a crime! He admits that. He was smart enough to realize that the MMAR was a crock of shit and there was an excellent possibility he could evade arrest and the consequences by challenging the law itself. He was right.

I have no idea how he did it or what help he had, but he managed to prepare an acceptable submission and on a day of his choosing he walked into a courthouse and presented a package of argument that admitted his guilt but asserted there was no crime because of legal deficiency. The filing fee was paid and he walked out on his own recognizance, blanketed with an immunity that prevented his arrest as a confessed criminal until such time as the case was resolved. It took ten years of relative peace and freedom from stress until he lost and the penalty for his crime was submitting to a court order to either get a License or actually do some minimal time. To the disgust of many of his supporters, Matt caved and applied for a License.

Note that because he was a warrior and began the fight he successfully evaded every nasty consequence that could have; more likely would have, been inflicted on him. He has absolutely no idea or expertise in handling anything from a defensive position and victim.

Following is what happened to Dr. Kamermans. If you are a Mernagh fan and consider him some sort of a legal advisor just ask yourself how either he or you yourself would have dealt with the following;

1.    You are a Medical Doctor and you become aware of the victimization of Medical Marijuana applicants who have an acceptable qualifying illness their doctor has successfully diagnosed and documented. The whole damned crew of your Canadian Medical Association brethren have refused to sign and betrayed their oath to do no harm. You check with a lawyer who advises by signing applications you are not approving or recommending anything but simply declaring: on the basis of their documented diagnosis they qualify for acceptance by Health Canada. There is no crime involved in what you are going to do.

2.    You accept your legal advice and for two years you sign, at an ever increasing rate, a flood of applications and then in the course of your normal daily office routine you get surprised. A combined force of OPP and RCMP complete with a SWAT Team with terrorist firepower and asshole leadership oozing Cop mentality storm in and hand you a search warrant. The leader of the wolf pack is one Sergeant Mark Duval: King Turd of Coe Hill, the same son of a bitch who is still committing Criminal Negligence. You are not arrested but they slap both you and your wife into handcuffs, jam you into a Cop car, slam you into a cell and subject you to a fun filled day of hostile Cop interrogation before releasing you without charges. WTF?

3.    You return to your office to discover that all the confidential patient files relating to Medical Marijuana have been seized and removed and for the next four months you are subjected to a vicious harassment and slander attacks from the politically correct police perverts. They conspicuously stake out your office and home, regular local patients are unnecessarily stopped when they leave after a visit. They are falsely accused of being a druggie and lowlife in the most hostile and intimidating manner. Slowly but surely your practice and income base are getting destroyed by fear of the Gestapo tactics encountered by your patients.

4.    In April the axe finally falls. The decision to arrest you is made and Sergeant Rob Henderson takes the initiative to make that arrest in the most damaging way possible. Rather than wait until the next morning to arrest you at home, Ratfucker Rob takes a crew and drives 200 miles to arrest you in mid-shift at the Sturgeon Falls Emergency Room so that you will be deprived of that source of income. The fact they leave the community they are supposed to serve with no resource if a medical emergency arises is not as important to them as ruining you.

5.    In the following six months and that is as far as I will go, you have to come up with $60,000 bail money of stay caged, you go to your bank and withdraw money to pay your US mortgages and get arrested for trying to launder the proceeds of crime. The cops use that as leverage to force all your financial resources (Two banks and the Credit Union) to cancel all your accounts including your credit cards. This had the effect of establishing that you were subject to arrest at any time and accordingly your only other source of significant income was lost. Your other ER position was lost because of the possibility of another mid-shift arrest. You are slapped with a No Contact gag Order that prevents you from defending yourself, your phone is tapped, they’ve bugged your house and office and you have no idea what they’ve installed into your computers when they had access to them so forget any confidential e-mail traffic.

If Matt is so certain Dr. K has a pisspot full of money stashed somewhere then where is it. Why would a guy with a pile of cash have been depending on pro-bono legal services from College insurance if he had other funds available? None of that illegal money is in any Canadian account nor is it in the USA or the IRS and DEA would be all over his ass.

I’m going to end here. I’m tired of being forced to listen to comments about Matt Mernagh as if he were doing something to help Medical Marijuana at present. He gained a position of respect and a voice that would be listened to if he had taken advantage and come out as a voice for the victims who are facing ruination with the MMRP.

All Matt has done since he caved in is promote himself as a TV clown and expert on marijuana cultivation, strain selection, the resultant products and methods of use. Big fucking deal! That might be some use if it wasn’t totally useless in an environment where all personal growth is illegal. All he’s doing is advising how to get maximum benefit from your illegal activity when you decide to grow your own.

The majority of opinion I see on Facebook by current Licensees is that the MMRP is going to be ignored and people are going to intentionally break the law and grow their own because of medical and financial necessity. They are fully aware that they are probably going to be arrested and while Matt may be a useful source of grow advice he could do better service trying to prevent their arrest in the first place by raising a voice of protest now. Unfortunately that prospect never occurred to him because he has never ever been arrested and suffered any of the consequences of victimization like Dr. K.

Matt, my boy: If you have a problem with this I’m prepared to defend my conclusions. As my evidence base I’ve got all those secret confidential communications between us I don’t think you want seen.

Challenge me and I’ll publish the whole goddamned list and let my readers make their own judgment of the King of Pot.

Balls in your court you asshole

A Politician Actually Listened to Me

A Politician Actually Listened to Me

The NDP Town Hall with Tom Mulcair

Sheraton Guildford: Fraser Room 1:45 PM

September 29, 2013

Dear Diary:

SURPRISE! SURPRISE!

Today I went to an NDP Town Hall Meeting with Tom Mulcair here in Surrey. I had no idea whether I would get the opportunity to speak with him. I wanted to ask about Medical Marijuana  and what the NDP could do to help with the disaster coming with the implementation of the MMRP. Not to worry!

Anticipating failure I prepared a request to be forwarded to someone in the NDP Hierarchy who could answer my questions with specifics and not generalities.

On my way into the meeting, I was fortunate to meet Jasbir Sandhu, my MP. He remembered me as the Marijuana Advocate who bugged him a year ago and after reading my written request, promised to forward it to Mr. Mulcair’s inner circle. Bonus! Half way there- somebody is going to have to deal with me. LOL.

I’m not dumb and when I took my seat I noted the position of lights, camera and the big Red Cross on the floor and positioned a seat where I could see his face at all times when he was speaking to the camera. This had the advantage of Mr. Mulcair having me in his field of view. There was an introduction our local MP hosts and then Mr. Mulcair took the stage. During his introductory speech he and I eyeballed each other and sized the other guy up. I think I got him right.

I think he got taken by the Bassett Hound eyes I inherited from my father. You know: that pleading look you get from buddy when you eat that great big hunk of steak. Tom proved he can recognize desperation and took pity on mine. The minute he opened the floor to questions and Holy Bejasus Mother of Earth and the Cannabis God struck and Mr. Mulcair pointed to me and I found myself with a microphone stuck in my face. What now??

I identified my self as a Medical Marijuana Licensee and advocate and more or less asked him this.

“I am aware of the party policy regarding this whole legalization kerfuffel and I am largely in agreement with it. There are millions of questions to be answered but nothing is going to be implemented until a change of Government 2 years away.

I have a much more immediate short term problem to be dealt with and that is how to survive the destruction of the Medical Marijuana Program and the financial consequences of the MMRP.

He listened seriously

I’m a Senior on fixed income, I have occasional neurological pain and depression. I can only afford a minimal 2 gr./day dose at the cheapest source: HC at $315/month. A probable doubling of that cost from entrepreneurs and the difficulty in accessing vendors will simply divert me to any illegal source who undercuts the profiteers. That applies to virtually every other licensee whwere the only alternative is grow your own and risk mandatory prison time just for relieving symptoms. Would he and the NDP give this a problem a priority consideration and try to help with our problems?

I’m not going to try and quote his reply except to say that he accepted my request and Medical Marijuana will be a priority in all NDP consideration of whatever develops regarding Marijuana at large.

More importantly than misquoting his words: I Believe him.

I sat through another 45 minutes listening to him on a very broad range of problems facing Canadians and while I don’t wholly agree with some of his answers I trust him to honour his word based on his excellent background and knowledge of the political history of Canada. I actually think I may have found a Man of Character who understands the moral and ethical principles that Canadians have always valued as a matter of pride.

I finally found a Canadian Politician worthy of my respect: He’s one of a small handful from 50 years of disgusted observation of the Ottawa circus. He’s got good company with Broadbent, Layton and Pearson.

He may not like the company of good old Pierre but liking is a personal matter. Respect is earned.

Enough praise and Kissy Kissy for Mr. Mulcair. While he comforted me with his leadership role, he did not provide me with any specifics re policy and understanding of the problem. That will be forthcoming as a result of that Request for Information that Jasbir Sandhu is passing on.

This is the Request for Information I submitted:

To Someone familiar with NDP Party policy and plans regarding Marijuana.

My name is Blaine Barrett and I live down the street.

I am an Advocate with a Blog.

“Medical Marijuana With TheSmeeGoanGuy”

I am familiar with the Party position regarding Legalization of Marijuana and have no problem with it. That is a long term problem for you to deal with. What I want to know and will publish if informed is just what is the Party proposing to do about the immediate problems facing the Medical Marijuana Patient population by the stupidity of the Medical Marijuana Research Program. It’s passage will financially destroy access to sufficient dosages of marijuana to provide proper relief for their symptoms.

It’s time for some clarification and I would like to be contacted by someone with the ability to provide specifics and not generalities.

I can be reached at 604-585-0236 or by e-mail to

In anticipation of a prompt reply
