A Moncton company selling marijuana, sounds awesome. Only downfall, it's very secure. "There's a security level that's required, both in terms of the people who are involved in the business, and even more so the physical location and infrastructure of security designed to protect the facility." A medical marijuana grower, Jim Laffoley, has been granted a licence by Health Canada to operate a 20,000 square foot plant in Moncton city. The company will send orders directly to patients across the country by courier. With no store front nobody will be coming to the business to pick up medication. Laffoley's personal goal is to triple the operation in size over the next three years.
The article also indicates that the company will be manufacturing a narcotic, which is "no different than Percocet or OxyContin" In my opinion, there's a huge difference in Marijuana and Percocet and Oxy Contin. Nobody I know has ever overdosed on Marijuana, other than the odd binge when they had the munchies. Pills like Percocet and OxyContin, highly addictive and so very easy to overdose on.
I think with the new restrictions of manufacturing medical marijuana, the government is only gonna drive up the prices on the Black Market.... but hey that's where the money is!

There is so much buzz about marijuana in North America now. It is inevitable, we are slowly seeing borders coming down. So that being said, I think it is a fine move, create more awareness and possible job opportunities from this venture. I see your arguments Kelly, but it may take a step forward to handle whatever learning curve may be involved. Great reflection!
ReplyDeleteTo kind of run on part of what Isaac said, borders are coming down and I'm happy to see that. If, in the year coming, marijuana is legalized, our economy will be on the up and up. I'll be more then glad to see people working again all over the country. Also, with the legalization, there will be screening of what's going out into the consumers hands so the chance of getting anything laced within the product will decrease by a solid amount. Keep it clean, keep it safe, and keep it blazing (haha).
