Finally got my prescription yesterday. I must say, the MMPR regulatory hurdles are the MAJOR obstacle in this industry, and the reason why the Street and Grey Dispensary Market Flourish. Only through persistence do I think I got through.

I Approached Better By Tweed two months ago, and the time lapsed since then has been mired in Beurocracy. It takes me less than 15 minutes to Renew my Codeine prescription... Over two months just to see a Dr for Cannabis. Mind you, this experience is my own, and I cannot claim it typical, but the patient numbers and revenue vs street and dispensary markets are telling.

Better by Tweed is doing its job up to the point where it has jurisdiction. The Government Regulations are painstaking. Like an international boarder crossing after 9/11.

So at the clinic, other patients were getting their scrips and asking about which Lp to register with. Reception routinely recommended Mettrum ( who had a few hemp edible products inside on display, perhaps donated, or perhaps Mettrum has a sponsorship relationship ) , and Tweed. Otherwise patients were directed to Health Canada's List of LP's.

Half My scrip is for Oils... Tweed has No oil sale licence. Bedrocan has none either. I can only guess how much revenue is being lost at this point due to this imbalance. I will wait and be patient, but who else would? I wonder how many new or old patients are going to other LP's or dispensaries because of this.

I think these things will be ironed out in time. But it seems it's the the investors who are paying for this long wait, while patients with a CGC LP are being asked to wait a little bit longer too.
