Hempology The Biggest Club on Campus. Yes we are.

The day starts at UVIC like every week. Standing outside enjoying some of BC,s finest bud, before class, you could sense the smell in the air, today felt special. Let alone the great bud, and glorious day, sunny blue sky's. There just a feeling you get when your high.
As Ted started the class, with a good attendance in front of him. I started the web cast. As i entered there was double the ppl in the web class, so happy to see this growing. As much as the plant itself.
Ted had this class well organized, and everyones attention. Was one of most interesting classes, plus I believe many of us learnt a few things. On the Marijuana Tax of 1937. Which will be on you tube this weekend.
With Fidonet, Rollingstoner.tv, StonerRadio, and Userplane, carrying us live. Who knows just how many got educated.
With class ending in a applause, We all head out to the weekly 420 on campus.
With such a nice day out, On the lawn in center of campus, we hold the 420. Ted starts to walk over to another area, as there seem to be many sun worshipers out in full force. Ted didn't just want to set up in middle of them,(not to cause any problems). As students see Ted walking by, there like were is he going, to our surprise , this wasn't a bunch of sun worshiping students, this was the crowd for 420. Until now, our biggest 420 on campus been around 230 ppl, But today, as we joined these students to make a huge circle, head count at 420, 312 students, Our biggest support yet. Plus over 500 students now signed up to the UVIC Hempology Club. NOW the BIGGEST club on Campus. Thank you students, for making Hempology, what we've dreamed it becoming.
Ted organizes the students into a circle, he begins his thank you speech and asks everyone to have 42 seconds of silence to pay respect to all the victims on the War On Drugs. With that many students, they all became silent, were i could here my joint burning. Very respectful.
check out the pics at:
Week 2 07-08 Hempology - a photoset on Flickr

Once we had 420, Ted spoke of events clubs is organizing, from camping to Halloween. But was also overwhelmed in the support hes been getting. You can see Ted's emotions on his shoulders.
Once 420 was over. Something new started up ,which was very cool. 3 guys from Uvic show up to play us some live music. Must say, they sure were good. The New UVIC Hempology 101 houseband. Very great set guys, it was prefect way to end this historical day.
Now got a whole week to wait to do this once again, can hardly wait.
If you haven't checked out Hempology yet, feel free to do so, live on the net, in person, or watch any of our videos on you tube. It just keeps growing, Thanks again to all who support us and to Leq, Papapuff, Masterpayne, your volunteering to help, sure is getting the word out. Jodie and Marc thanks for the use of the Calender, I love it.
Ted and Gail, what can i say, this would not ever been happening, with out the full efforts both of yous put behind Hempology. I couldn't express my feeling, without emotional getting fucked up. Need my toke now. Peace and Love SeaOfGreen

[Canuck Wisdom]

Great. I am convinced that driving while high is safe, in terms of motor control, but you fuck things up like missing turns and stuff if your too high. Anyone who smokes often or for long enough wouldn't usually have an issue imo.

Jason Wilcox

VICTORIA -- For all Jason Wilcox cares, Health Canada's debt collectors can follow him to the grave.

Mr. Wilcox, a terminally ill medical marijuana user living in Victoria, owes the federal government more than $6,400 for cannabis he purchased through Health Canada's medical marijuana program last winter.

But like many who subscribe to the federal program, Mr. Wilcox is neither able nor willing to pay for his government-grown pot.

Not only is the product low in quality and high in price, it should be covered by the health-care system like any other drug, he said.

"I'm living out my years and I'm not going to pay a cent for any of this. I truly believe this medicine should be provided for free," said Mr. Wilcox, who lives in subsidized housing in the city's James Bay neighbourhood.

"I'm just one of many examples and I'm speaking out for everyone who can't speak for themselves on this issue."

He's not alone. It's estimated that 227 of 538 registered users who order their marijuana from the government have been cut off for failing to pay for the product. About 4 per cent of those accounts have been turned over to collection agencies.

Health Canada provided updated figures this month indicating that the total debt for registered users now exceeds $300,000.

The rising tide of unpaid bills comes amid reports that Health Canada is charging subscribers 1,500 per cent more than it pays for its pot.

The figures, obtained by the advocacy group Canadians for Safe Access and released to the media late last month, show that Health Canada pays Prairie Plant Systems $10 an ounce and charges patients about $150.

And that has advocates accusing the government of price-gouging low-income people with chronic illnesses.

"It's the combination of sending collection agencies after people who are critically ill for pot that's already been marked up 1,500 per cent that's so ridiculous," said Philippe Lucas, founder of the Vancouver Island Compassion Society, a quasi-legal provider of medical marijuana.

Health Canada spokesperson Renée Bergeron said recent news reports looked only at the bulk purchase price and ignored additional costs such as testing and distribution.

Health Canada can't release details about the program's costs due to the privacy requirements of its contract with Prairie Plant Systems, the company that grows marijuana under contract to the government.

However, Ms. Bergeron said the price charged to medical marijuana users "does not fully recover the costs associated with the production and distribution" of the pot.

Diagnosed HIV-positive 13 years ago, Mr. Wilcox uses marijuana to battle nausea, headaches, muscle pain and other side effects of the powerful anti-retroviral drugs that keep him alive.

Marijuana also helps counter bouts of anger and aggression brought on by muscle-building steroids he injects to keep his body from wasting away. Two years ago, Mr. Wilcox's 6-foot-1-inch frame weighed just 155 pounds. Now he's back up to 216.

"I had a choice between a needle and a cane and I chose the needle," he said. "It's a quality of life issue. I've got another five years before my organs start to fail from all the [retroviral] drugs."

The federal licence Mr. Wilcox was granted three years ago permits him to possess and use up to 10 grams of marijuana a day - 20 to 30 joints. Five grams is the norm for most medical marijuana licensees, but Mr. Wilcox has developed a high tolerance. In addition to smoking marijuana, he makes pot cookies and uses marijuana butter liberally.

Like the majority of Canada's 1,774 registered users, Mr. Wilcox prefers to grow his own "medicine."

When his marijuana crop failed last fall, Mr. Wilcox started ordering marijuana from the government. Over a four-month period starting last December, Health Canada sent him 1,200 grams of pot, ordered through a 1-800 number and delivered by Purolator.

"I was talking to a machine so I just kept ordering it," he said. "I never once talked to a real person."

The final shipment arrived in March, with a letter informing him that his supply had been cut off and his account may be turned over to a collection agency.

At $5 a gram, the government cannabis costs about half as much as high-end bud grown by local compassion clubs. Mr. Wilcox, who supports himself and a seven-year-old daughter on disability benefits of less than $1,000 a month, admits he had no intention of paying for the product.

"When you have a choice between keeping your meds down at any cost, even if it means having a bad credit rating, I figure it comes down to survival of the fittest," he said. "If that makes me a criminal, so be it."

Mr. Wilcox's roommate, Ann Genovy, is in debt as well. Ms. Genovy, who is also HIV-positive, ordered two $1,500 shipments before Health Canada severed her supply line. The couple's neighbour in the complex, Linda Rushton, ordered one shipment and now owes more than $1,500.

The mounting problems with the Health Canada program are symptomatic of the government's reluctant role as a legalized drug dealer.

In 2001, Health Canada signed a five-year contract with Prairie Plant Systems to grow cannabis on an experimental basis in an abandoned mine shaft in Manitoba.

Ordered by the courts in 2003 to make marijuana available to critically ill people, Ottawa appealed the decision for another two years before finally agreeing to distribute the product it had been growing for years.

Ms. Bergeron said the government made it clear from the start that it will not provide patients with free marijuana.

"Our policies have always stated there will be a cost to the product," she said. "There's no provision that allows the patient to be exempt from payment."

Despite recent court rulings, marijuana is "not approved as a therapeutic drug in Canada" and generally not covered by the public health-care system, Ms. Bergeron added.

THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is available free of charge under the public system.

But Mr. Wilcox claims synthetic versions of the drug do a poor job of relieving his symptoms.

With his personal grow-op back in production, he still has about 150 grams of leftover government marijuana. The vacuum-sealed foil pouches sit in his kitchen cupboard like so many packages of fresh ground coffee.

Unopened product can be sent back to the government, but Mr. Wilcox said he plans to keep the government bud to protest against the way Health Canada has managed the medical marijuana program.

"I'll probably cook with it. That's about all it's good for."
