The world has lost an incredible woman. Corrie Yelland cured herself of anal cancer by making cannabis suppositories. Ever since then she was on a mission to help others learn how to use cannabis to fight cancer saving thousands of lives. She was a member of the VCBC through her journey.

Reading George Orwell’s 1984 again right now. I recommend it to anyone who wants to read something that makes you think that things could be worse than they seem to be right now.

The medical cannabis program in Canada is so flawed that the VCBC has not complied. We have been raided and fined millions of dollars since legalization yet we remain open for our patients. Every day we continue our work is a miracle that is extending and improving lives.

The fine is now just $3.2 million but we have not updated the sign yet

While I was never on Twitter/X, I have used Facebook for over 10 years and this site is far superior to any other social media platform I’ve used. I love how easy it is to get news from around the world and read stimulating debate rather than seeing ads, memes and rude commentary

Will Begg be receptive to the rights of folks who presently have to break the law to acquire and use their cannabis medicine?

Garry Begg - who Eby called landslide Begg, a reference to his 22 vote win in Surrey Guildford - will be the new public safety minister and solicitor general.
Mike Farnworth has been moved to the ministry of transportation and transit.
