A
Critical Comment re: History
Newsletter
The
MARIJUANA Medical
Access Regulations were never intended to create a viable system. They
were
designed to be and have proved very effective in preventing any
diversion from
the Defeatist Plan.
In
ten years
of operation the only thing that Health Canada has managed to do with
the MARIHUANA
MEDICAL ACCESS PROGRAM is to completely lose control of a
market they
created.
They created the demand of 5000 licensees who need a source of legal
Marijuana, but have made no effort to supply the needed product beyond
a one
source mail order system from Ottawa and Licensed Personal or
Designated
Growing.
They decided on a one-size-fits-all policy, selected an unknown strain
of weed as a product, set the price at $5 +tax per gram, and started
issuing
licenses.
Then they sat back and waited till the wheels fell off.
Today they
are chucking the baby out with the bathwater.
They are recommending abandoning
the whole program and the replacement of all legal licensed growth
including
all Personal and Designated growth, with a system of licensed profit
oriented
private contractors who will now be able to sell at prices they set
themselves.
Total bloody idiocy!
What
should
the Ottawa have done?
Six steps that
common business sense suggests at a minimum:
If
you are going to start a Medical Marijuana program that is going to
create a national demand for product then you should have lots of that
product available.
If
there are variations of the product available with differing degrees of
benefit to the user, offer as many variations as possible
Having
decided your offering you now set the price of the product usually on a
cost plus basis.
Create
ease of access by setting up a network of retail distributors across
the country and a centralized online order system.
If
physical facilities are required ensure that all Grow ops meet Code and
legal requirements by establishing communication links with Municipal
and Law Enforcement to advise what is being done to ensure compliance
with the Regulations when an Authorization to grow is issued.
Design
and implement an effective information processing system to process
applications and render customer service to all licensees.
What
did Ottawa do?
Steps 1. & 2. & 3.
They
actually
managed to blunder through items 1 to 3 but most stupidly. They elected
to meet
the anticipated product demand by contracting to Prairie Plant Products
for a
supply of one single strain of pot.
That has never changed despite knowledge re
potency and genetic relationships.
They decided on a selling price of $5/gram
and then burdened Prairie Plant with so much unnecessary product
compliance and
certification that the cost of production has exceeded the sale price
since day
one.
The Marihuana Medical Access Program has been a constant loss
proposition
for Health Canada and I guess someone
woke up to the fact. It was pointed out in the Auditor Generals Report
for 2008
but got ignored.
Step #4- Create ease of access
Having
gotten
as far as step #4, they stopped and decided that since this involved
personal
medical knowledge it must be “Confidential”
and everything suddenly was “Secret”
or “Private”.
The MMAD became a
Blackhole for information in the middle of Health Canada: Everything
goes in
but nothing ever comes out! With that in mind Health Canada jumped to
Step #6, set
up the MMAD to handle application processing and administrative
control.
That
has turned into the monstrosity that takes months to process all
applications.
Any sort of request regarding information about the operation of the
division,
or about procedures and the reason for delay is usually ignored or at
best
answered after an extended period of time that renders its utility
useless.
It
is the imposition of this intractable devotion to Secrecy that
has
caused nearly all of the problems in the field today.
Secrecy
has
hampered and defeated the one good creation of the Program: the option
for
Personal and Designated growth.
They condemned it to failure before it even got
off the ground because of stupidity.
At the beginning of the program marijuana
was illegal and by and large knowledge of its use and growth was kept
private
and confined to a close circle of acquaintances.
Health Canada suddenly became the
middleman between user and grower: a classic supply and demand
situation.
You
have a list of licensees looking for a grower to supply their need, and
you
have a list of growers with capacity who are looking for needy
licensees.
All
you have to do is match them up.
Not! Health Canada decided all identities
are confidential, and will not release the lists to either side.
Someone with
infinite wisdom decided to slam a roadblock into the flow of
information and so
it goes for all other areas of the program as well.
Nobody outside knows what
the hell is going on in the Medical Marijuana Wonder World.
Unfortunately we
got where we are because nobody inside Wonder World knows what the hell
is
going on either.
Step #5- Physical facilities
Having
slapped
the Secrecy label in place, Health Canada completely avoided Step #5-the notification of Municipal
and Law Enforcement authorities of the location of Legal Grow Ops.
This has
never been done and is at the root of a lot of the misinformation about
the
hazards that are blamed on legal grow ops.
There is no doubt that grow ops pose
all the hazards claimed, but it is also a fact that there is a very
small
probability that any threat to the community is the result of a Legal
Grow Op.
Remember there are an estimated 50000+ illegal grow ops in Canada and
to blame
less than 10% for all the resultant problems is an overstatement to say
the
least.
You
can’t
control what you can’t see and to not tell the police or the Municipal
By-Law
authorities is a masterful demonstration of short-sightedness.
At this point in
time the only ones who know the location of Licensed Grow Ops are the
Bureaucrats running the MMAD. Confining the information to a bunch of
useless
fat cats who never get their arse out of their leather recliners
guarantees the
failure of the program.
Step #6- the effective information processing
system to process applications and render customer service to all
licensees
LOL!
The
handling
of applications and the speed at which it is done is one of the most
important
components of the system because the sooner it’s done the sooner the
help gets
to the patient. One day less of puking and pain is a laudable goal.
Having
said
that I will confidently wager that whatever system is proposed by the
pundits
will be a complete goddamned farce. Why? Because the people doing the
revision
are the same stupid collection of bureaucrats and political hacks that
are
responsible for the sick, sad, sorry condition of the current system.
It’s the
Cops investigating the Cops. Given the Harper government performance so
far, I
suspect the culprit will get a six month suspension with pay and a
round trip
ticket to Bali on an Air Force jet to handle the poor buggers PTSD.
For
the past
several years the history of the Program is one of extended wait lists
that are
completely unnecessary. They have a Goal
of 8-12 weeks that they have seldom if ever managed to meet. I took the
time to
analyze what they had to do to actually process an application and came
up with
a liberal time of 35 minutes to check and verify every blank on all the
forms.
I will not go into detail here and now. I am wrapping this
up but if you
are interested in how I came up with that liberal 35 minutes take a
look
at (TBA) in the archive.
It was a lot of bloody work! Worth a peek.
