I have no idea what Prairie is thinking they will accomplish. Under the best circumstances they will illegally sell a product for a few weeks, likely a few days before HC forces them not too. At worst they will have their golden license revoked for not just oils but dried flower as well. I doubt it's a bluff to get HC to approve them faster as any sensible person would realize that's not going to work. Perhaps it's an attempt to inspire confidence in their patient base to prevent them from switching LPs, or maybe it's to bait HC into a lawsuit for some sort of settlement? OR they could just be salty because their monopoly under the MMAR is gone and they are no longer relevant. Either way stinks of desperation.

its crazy to me that they'd come out and say they're selling oil with or without a license.

in my mind thats a death sentence. HC has to crush them for it. full force of the law, no lube.

Well, I can see how PPS had HC backed into a corner.
The regulator changed the rules in July. We're now into December, meanwhile the LP's have all been ready for inspection for months.

If HC won't act, PPS becomes the "hero" in the eyes of patients. The public backlash comes to HC for taking any action against the "saviour". It was a bold move, but it got them a license, and I certainly hope this lit a match under HC to license the rest.

At the end of the day it is pretty damn up-surd that HC is taking this long. Patients have been awarded this right via the SCC.
