I have Doctor that is willing to sign the papers needed for Health Canada.
Question I have is
Must you wait till Paper comes back from Health Canada in order to be legal?
I really dont want to wait the 7 or 8 weeks or longer if i dont have to.

Thanks for the help.

Legally, in a court, I think you'd be covered since the doctor DID sign it..
If the cops came though and you showed them papers with a signature on it, they wouldn't give a fuck.. They'd rip your shit down and put you in jail for a bit.

I would just wait.. Set your room up and test it thoroughly.

It does take some time for your license to come though, it took me I think 4 months or so.. Don't hold your breath

If you read around in the subfourm (This Canadian one) there is some talk about this. Apparently there was a case like this in Toronto. What you need to do is ship it with priority shipping or whatever shipping gives you a tracking number. When the tracking number gets to health canada then you're set to grow legally. I could be wrong, so id wait for someone to bring more light on the subject. Send them in now anyways with a tracking number.

If you priority to Health Canada then you'll be legal to smoke IF your papers are all in order. If your app isn't complete or somehow unsatisfactory then you won't be protected. So always best to wait for the scrip.

For growing, you'll just have to wait. Health Canada needs more than just a docs sig. They need to know your security measures and whatnot, so even though your doc signed off, they can still technically deny your licence to grow. They won't, but legally you prob won't get away with it.

Until you actually have the license in hand you are still 100% illegal. Legally you can set yourself up but, plant a bean and you run the risk of loosing everything. I really do not think that a judge would convict you if your lisence was already applied for but you will lose all your equipment and whatever the courts decide.

I did not wait myself. Personally my ailgment doesnt wait for health canada but it was a risk I took.

Good Luck

From my understanding, the second your doctor sign's the forms, you're authorized to consume, the issues now are with your possession and cultivation, while you have the forms signed by your doctor, for the consumption of MMJ, you still have not been granted immunity from possessing it until HC processes your application. Same goes with Growing your own medicine.

You should really re-read the act, talk to an officer or have a laywer look things over because the info here is NOT CORRECT. Many things can happen to your application aftern your doc signs.

You can not legally posess or grow until you have your pink forms, period. Anything else is still considered illegal.

I have spent a lot of cash on a laywer because of HC's wording, you should do the same before you get someone in hot water.

I think you should stop spending all this money on Lawyers and just learn the english language.

You'll notice that I did in fact state that the possession, and cultivation of your MMJ WITHOUT your official documents from HC is still considered illegal. However, your USE of it is no longer illegal, Now... someone with a basic understanding of the english language would understand that this is in fact, a double standard, Since you're still not legally allowed to possess, how are you legally allowed to consume? That's a good question, and the answer to that is this, HC has NO CONTROL over who they send official documents to, if a LICENSED Physician signs off on your MMAR, a Physician who is Licensed to prescribe category 1 Medication (as long as your condition makes you eligible) you are at that point being "prescribed" the use of MMJ. The ONLY remaining issue now is that while you're allowed to consume it, you're STILL not allowed to possess it. To possess it you must wait for the official documents from HC.

Sir.G, I would NEVER give advice if it meant harm to another individual. If they misconstrued my advice, or refuse to listen, or only read what they want to read (similar to what you did with my last post), that's not my problem.

Oh I read your post, every word of it and you miss the point.

If you think for one moment that a cop is going to say "well O.K. then I wont bust you because YOU say your doctor has signed your medical papers", you are sadly mistaken.

I must have missed that form? Consumtion form? Your possession license allows you to consume, your grow license allows you to consume and until you have the pinks in your hand you have no other rights than any other Canadian that partakes illegally and can be harshly delt with by the feds.
