ACMPR changing production site.

Hey gang. I recently acquired my ACMPR paperwork to produce cannabis indoors at my home. I have not yet started a grow whatsoever and have been in the planning process for some time now. The more I think about it, the more I am contemplating changing my license to produce cannabis outdoors at a close by family members property where there is much more room. I would be the grower. The property owner wouldn't be involved other than letting me use their land. My understanding is that as long as the property owner signs off (they will) I can still be the sole grower so I don't need to sign the property owner on as a DG and do the whole criminal background check etc. It looks like I can also hold my storage allotment at my home and not at the grow site.

Anyway.. assuming I have all that straight.. does anyone have any idea how long the process is to change the production site and type (change to outdoor)of a currently valid license? With the signature of the property owner needed, I know that I can't just do this over the phone. I will have to print the forms out again and send it all in again.. Am I going to have to wait 3.5-4 months to make a change to my license?? I had to wait 3.5 months to get accepted. I really thought I could grown at home but its just not doable at the moment.. maybe at a later date. I realize that I made this mistake in judgement but Im hoping that there is some sort of fast track to amend existing paperwork. Anyone have any experience with this?

Do I need to go get a Dr's prescription to make changes? I know I'm dreaming, but it would be awesome to get this change fast enough to get plants out for this outdoor season..

Thanks

Pretty sure you need to start from scratch and visit your doc, get the prescription, then send in your paperwork with new address and appropriate info, 4plus months.

I don't get the visit your doc thing. What does a doctor have to do with your production site? It's none of his f*ckn' business! I'd use my existing documents and send HC just the new forms that deal with grow location. Send them copies of everything else. I wouldn't play their games, but that's just me. How in the hell are they going to register rec grows when they it takes 4 months for medical?

My understanding is that you only need a new dr note if you intend to make a change to the prescription (I.e. Timeframe or dose). However, unless your prescribing doctor charges you for a new note, I see no apparent reason not to include a new one. Health Canada seems to think 3-4 months is a reasonable timeframe for "registration". I'm assuming "registering" your changes will take he same amount of time.

To be honest I kind of thought this would be a common scenario. I'm surprised to not have gotten replies from people who have gone through this process one or more times. Thanks

I don't think you need a new Drs note. You're registered until the end of when prescribed, fill out the form and tick the "amendment" box. Give the reason: new production site, and fill in relevant information on the form and Annex A.

This is along the lines of my understanding from reading the Health Canada pages. Just hoped there was a fast way to do it without getting in line with all the new ACMPR paperwork coming in from new patients.

If you call the 1 800 number, wait the 30 or so min it takes to get someone on the line, I am sure they can answer your question. They have always been helpful to me when I can get them on the line,lol.

Oh yeah you are screwed on that end, I just don't think you need to see the Doc. Sorry!

There's a spot at the top of the form that says amendment or changes whatever it might be...anyways it asks for your script# and the changes you want to make. It also has a spot for you to write "effective change of date" So in other words, fill out your forms, photo copy them, get tracking number, "delivered", post photocopys, tracking number and current license. I'd consider it legal...the form is in english words mean what they mean

No Dr. required for an address change. Fill out paperwork with amendment checked and go for Annex A. Have the property owner(s) sign and send off the paperwork. I waited from Nov. 15th to Feb 13th 2017 for my garden relocation paperwork to be completed. They have hired 17 more staff members and are answering the phone very quickly now, let's hope that translates into faster processing times.

HaHaHaHa! Making things as inconvenient and difficult as possible is HC's mandate. I expect them to speed up the process the same time they start using unicorns for delivery.
