On Sun Jan 28, 2007, the Cannabis Buyers Clubs of Canada will be celebrating 11 years of providing cannabis products to people with incurable, physical disabilities and diseases. The oldest compassion club in Canada, the CBC of C has grown to about 2000 members. The club has had a storefront on Johnson Street for almost 6 years, which is more than the 5 years that it slowly grew in an apartment up the street. Though the club has suffered 4 police raids, several robberies and other problems, it continues to grow and improve its services to the members. We have been very successful in court, with all 11 trafficking charges eventually beaten, one way or another.

We are blessed with a great staff, and a membership that constantly inspires us to do more to change the laws suppressing cannabis. The last year has been relatively quiet for the club- that is just the way we like it. In March 2006, the Mayor and Council of Victoria wrote a letter to the federal minister responsible for Health Canada, Tony Clements, which stated the MMAR were ineffective and inadequate, asking for a review of the entire program. While this letter is not a license to operate, it is a clear indication of the support that the community has for our organization, and further proof that the public is fully aware that Health Canada is not trying to allow easy access to inexpensive, quality cannabis for sick people.
