OTTAWA - The Conservative government is launching a $1.3-billion free market in medical marijuana this Tuesday, eventually providing an expected 450,000 Canadians with quality weed.

Health Canada is phasing out an older system on Monday that mostly relied on small-scale, homegrown medical marijuana of varying quality, often diverted illegally to the black market.

"We expect that over time, prices will be driven down by the free market," she said. "The lower price range will likely be around $3 a gram. ... It's hard to predict."

Saskatoon-based Prairie Plant Systems, and its subsidiary CanniMed Ltd., were granted the first two licences under the system and are already advertising their new products on the web.

Prospective patients, including those under the current system, must get a medical professional to prescribe medical marijuana using a government-approved form.

Well only in Canada do we help a struggling community hit by the economic cras by providing jobs while giving suffering patients a quality product.

"There's a real need," he said in an interview. "You see what this medicine does to them."

Tweed Inc. proposes to produce at least 20 strains to start, and will reserve 10 per cent of production for compassionate, low-cost prescriptions for impoverished patients, he says.

Plus a using a old Heresy manufacturing plant to grow it and well Hersey should partner up with them and offer a free chocolate bar with every Rx filled putting a old massive factory to use creating jobs and collecting taxes as well as Committed to giving suffering patients a quality product.

Hershey, as in the chocolate. They should have combined the two. They'd make a fortune.

Well we are begging for people to come up here that want to learn or have experience in the skilled trades and their is a reason Alberta nickname is Texberta since highly skilled and experienced Oil and LNG workers are fast tracked and you guys can come up here and work in any of our industry's be it temporary work permit or you end up get duo citizenship for both countries.

Plus we are not smarter or better then you we make dumb decisions and mistakes and political issues but we are each other most important trading partner, best friend and long time ally that we are all pulling for yay guys.

No way in Hell I'd move to Alberta, and want nothing to do with the Keystone XL pipeline. If this country was smart the the pipeline would be killed, but money wins the day in the USA.

Ontario, B.C., etcetera., but not Alberta. I think Edmonton is the only place outside the U.S. that former Pres. George W. Bush has gone to give a speech.

As the most conservative province in Canada, isn't Alberta very strongly against legalizing medical marijuana from fear it is only a gateway drug used only for the purpose of getting high?

Less religious, more secular. Fewer do-gooders.

And yeah...smarter as a result without superstition clouding their judgements.

Nope, Calgary. As it happens, the worthless torturing scumbag ate dinner at a fine restaurant on my street. And gave a speech (no press) to a bunch of oil bigwigs to the tune of four-figures per plate. I can't see how it would be worth it unless Bush was sitting in a dunk tank letting people throw things at him.
