   JCT: Health Canada has a Step 2 they make some medpot grow   
   applicants take that's not on the original medpot permit   
   application form. It's used to stall processing permits by   
   asking for a Hydro bill as proof of address!!   
      
   My last post on Vince Reimer details the problem.   
      
   He sent in his application and after 5 weeks they demanded a   
   Hydro bill to prove his address was distinct. Why can't they   
   check Canada Post like under the MMAR? The Hydro bill was   
   sent in 2 days later and after almost 6 more weeks waiting,   
   he filed a motion for an interim permit and Federal Court   
   Justice Brown lifted the general stay to let it in. The   
   Crown said that Health Canada issued the permit the very   
   next day to make the motion moot.   
      
   The point is that the Step 2 Stall is only possible because   
   Health Canada doesn't request the Hydro bill on the original   
   application. You have to wonder why they didn't need it   
   under the MMAR but do now under the Cannabis Regulations.   
      
   So, to prevent Health Canada using the Step 2 Stall on your   
   permit, do include a Hydro bill verifying your address   
   before they can ask.   
      
   Please pass along this warning   
   http://johnturmel.com/step2stall.txt on to other possible   
   applicants. It's a tip that should save lots of people lots   
   of wasted time.
