Good morning one and all. The East Coast CSP is out here making Mondays the best day of the week in Halifax. I had Susan back with me this morning, and having her with me helped keep the rain at bay till we were finished. That’s 200+ kits gone again by 9:15. It’s just sad knowing the for the next 45 minutes; people are still going to be showing up; and unfortunately we’re not there.
Thanks to everyone for their support.
Stay dry;
Stay safe; and
Stay kind.

Happy Victoria Day everyone. It was a beautiful morning to be out sharing the canna love. Susan had to work today, so I was left to my own devices in making Mondays the best day of the week in Halifax.
Ran out of kits by 9:00, so as a back up I had some w**d and a pack of papers to hand out the last hour. At least 40 extra people didn’t have to go without.
I’m such a smart feller.
The morning was filled with smiles and sunshine, and I can’t think of a better way to start the week than that.
I hope you all have a great week.

Stay safe,
Stay lifted and
Stay kind.

“I can’t believe I still have to protest this fu***ng sh*t.”

And honestly… neither can we.

Cannabis is “legal” in Canada — but only if you can afford it, access it, and navigate a system built around corporations instead of compassion.

Meanwhile, community-led compassion programs like VCBC and the Cannabis Substitution Project continue to fight just to exist while helping:
• low-income patients
• seniors
• people living with chronic pain
• people struggling with addiction
• people failed by the healthcare system

We are watching governments celebrate legalization while simultaneously targeting the very organizations that made medical cannabis access possible in the first place.

Legalization was supposed to reduce harm, increase access, and protect vulnerable people — not push them further into poverty or force them back to toxic street supplies because they can’t afford regulated products.

Cannabis should not only be available to people with money.
Healthcare should not depend on profit margins.
And compassion should never be treated like a crime.

Community programs are stepping in where systems continue to fail. They deserve support, not raids, stigma, and endless barriers.

The fight was never just about cannabis.
It was — and still is — about dignity, healthcare, harm reduction, and human rights.

Good morning folks. Susan and Chris here making Mondays the best day of the week in Halifax. It was a warmish start to the day and no rain. Was great not to have to wear a coat for the first Monday of the year.
It was a great morning filled with smiles and gratitude. Got to hear a couple people the last few weeks telling us how they’ve just gotten jobs and are optimistic for the future.

I just have to put this out there.
I’ve really been stressed out lately. The last few months running the East Coast CSP has really been rough. Trying to stretch the few dollars we get to help so many is becoming more and more difficult. We’ve lost about $500-$600 of the required $800 in monthly donations, and worrying about the ability to keep things running worries me and occupies my mind constantly.

I don’t want to fail. We started this with a commitment to keep it going as long as possible. How long? We had no idea. It crushes me to even think that day may be coming. The feeling of responsibility I feel to not fail is overwhelming.

For those that have helped us keep this program running, I am eternally grateful. You’ve been amazing. Your support means the world to me and so many others.
However; I simply cannot use my own personal money anymore to try and keep things afloat.

I’ll soon have to cut back somewhere. Whether it’s the number of kits we put out each week or changing some of the kit contents; something’s gotta give.
Our numbers of people we help each week have gone up with the warmer weather, and so I run out of our 220-250 kits sooner every Monday, all the while knowing that when I leave early; people are still showing up….and we’re not there.

If you’re able to help you can donate to [email protected] or…

Good morning and happy 420 everyone.
It was a cold windy start to the day; but at least it wasn’t raining; so there’s that to be thankful for.
Susan had to work today, so I was out here by myself making Mondays the best day of the week in Halifax.
This weeks kits were filled with goodies. There was extra w**d, a full book of papers as well as a few extra donated goodies that were purchased from the NSLC. There were CBD sublingual strips and extra gummies on top of all the regular goodies.
Everyone was thrilled.

Sadly; I just learned of the passing of a cannabis legend. Marco Renda; the founder of Treating Yourself magazine. I never got the chance to meet him personally; we spoke occasionally and I had a lot of respect for all his hard work in educating and supporting patients looking to use cannabis as medicine.
You will be missed my friend.

To anyone that missed out getting their kit today; I’m sorry. I went through 200+ kits by 9:15 this morning. It always bothers me to run out early, but the need is greater than what I can do alone. I only hope everyone understands this.

Many thanks to:

Good morning Halifax. Chris and Susan here; making Mondays the best day of the week in Halifax.
We were lucky enough to beat the rain today; which was a win.
We also had a day filled with smiling faces and interesting stories. We got to hear about people learning; that if you eat the whole kit; you could end up sick. It’s called greening out, and it calls into question your common sense.
Come on people. Know your limits. Smh.

Finally got a parking ticket today. It was eventually gonna happen.
Thought I was going to get a ticket about a month or so ago; but as I ran up saying “I’ll move it”; he let me be.
But today; our cities finest rolled up with lights flashing; got out of his cruiser pretty aggressive and angry. I told him I’d move it and he explained that he was about to have it towed. Got my ticket and left.
Time to find a new spot.
So few to choose from.
