Calgary Co-op has agreed to become the majority shareholder in Care Pharmacies, a network of independent retail pharmacies across Canada. Neither company released details about the agreement, like valuations or terms. Headquartered in Vaughan, Ont., and founded in 2013, the pharmacy chain has 56 locations in provinces like P.E.I., Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, and the company says it’s the largest group of independent retail pharmacies controlled by licensed pharmacists in the country. There are 25 Care Pharmacies in Ontario and 15 in British Columbia. Alberta’s lone location is in Manning, Alta. Calgary Co-op’s CEO Ken Keelor said the acquisition, which still is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, is a “tremendous fit” with the cooperative’s focus on growing its health and wellness business.

Down On The Farm

The foot and mouth ‘epidemic’ in Britain was a massive abuse of animals and the land, caused by the pursuit of profit. Infected swill from schools, probably arising from the cheap imported meat schools use (cost-cutting before children’s health), was fed to pigs. Infected and disease-free animals were taken to large agri-business holding stations. The weak or unwanted were sold in local markets, spreading infection. The rest were transported hundreds of miles to fattening stations and mixed with other animals even though it is well known that livestock transported long distances are very susceptible to disease. Some were exported to Europe (after being infected), others sold after fattening to the abattoirs and then into the food chain. This industrial agriculture is forced upon farmers by a capitalism that must offer ever-cheaper goods to survive and the greed of the supermarkets for profit and market share. What is truly amazing is that foot and mouth disease cannot infect humans and does no more harm to animals than minor sores and milk that can’t be used. It wears off after a few weeks. In the 19th Century and abroad farmers simply let the disease burn itself out after killing very few animals. Why is it different in these islands? Because the supermarkets will not buy infected meat and farmers will not pay to feed a cow that even temporarily produces no milk. Foot and mouth was not a natural disaster, it was an economic disease, killing profits but of no harm to animals or humans. One million healthy, disease-free sheep were killed to protect the profits of the supermarkets and large agribusinesses, the ultimate indictment of capitalist profit motive and methods of organization. Globalisation and free trade are forcing intensive farming methods on farmers with disastrous consequences. In 1999 200,000 farmers in Europe gave up the unequal struggle and big business moved in. 10 companies worldwide control 60% of the international food chain. Four of them control the world supply of corn, wheat, tea, rice and timber. Massive subsidies, paid for by taxes on wages and non-agricultural businesses, swell the profits of the biggest farms and agricultural businesses, usually owned by large multi-national corporations – in the US, a total of $22bn. While western capitalism demands subsidy worth $362bn per year, the farmers of the rest of the world share just $18bn – if they can’t compete, they are accused of inefficiency by western ‘experts’ and legislated out of existence or driven to the wall by ‘free and fair’ competition.

Farmers are made more dependent on the multinationals by the fact that seed varieties (along with all forms of life) can now be patented and by being patented turned into private property. If farmers buy Monsanto’s Roundup Ready soya beans they have to sign a contract committing themselves to use only Monsanto chemicals, not to save any seed for replanting (one of the basics of sustainable agriculture) and be prepared to allow representatives of the company on to their farms for up to 3 years after the purchase to check this. In order to enforce these ‘Technology Use Agreements’ in the US, Monsanto have employed the Pinkerton private detective agency (famous for their violent strike breaking activities on behalf of US capital), they have named and shamed ‘guilty’ farmers in local radio station adverts and even opened a telephone hotline for people to dob in offenders. The fact that 475 farmers in the US and Canada broke their Technology Use Agreements and were sued by Monsanto is probably one of the reasons it developed ‘terminator’ technology, a technique where genes are inserted into a plant which render its seed non-viable; from the corporations point of view a great improvement — from ‘economic sterility’ to biological sterility. Monsanto is suing one farmer from Canada for growing seed without a license, when what actually happened was that his oilseed rape crop had been contaminated by pollen from GM crops on nearby farms. Of course the real aim of terminator technology is the untold sums of money to be made from stopping ‘Third World’ farmers from saving and sharing their seeds and making them dependent on high tech seed from the multinationals.

Nothing in the preceding paragraph should be taken to mean that we see large capitalist farmers in the US and Canada as being somehow victims of the corporations. Like large scale industrial farmers everywhere they are part of the corporate food production system of which GM is the latest stage: they exploit wage labour (although labour on farms is drastically reduced by the industrialisation process large scale industrial farming exploits wage labour massively in the chemical industry, machine production, transportation etc) and happily produce for the global market and act as a market for every new agro-chemical or GM seed produced. But already complaints of crop damage due to herbicide drift are starting to increase as the sprays farmers growing Roundup Ready GM use drifts onto the crops of farmers growing ordinary plants.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

face claim: Ramin Karimloo

full name: Cyrus Amani

nickname(s) / goes by: Cyrus

pronouns & gender: Cis man, he/him

sexuality: Bisexual

birth date: May 19th, 1984

birth place: Tehran, Iran

arrival to merrock: December 2023

housing: The Suburbs

occupation: Cardiothoracic surgeon

work place: Merrock Hospital

family: Mother and younger siblings in Toronto

relationship status: Single

PERSONALITY

Cyrus is a generally goodhearted, community-oriented, and witty man, always wanting to be there for people, regardless if he has a connection to them or not. He makes sure to be considerate of others (especially regarding patients, who he has an immense soft spot for.) Despite this, he is rather headstrong and irrational (and in that area, a bit hard to read), often thinking about things and jumping to conclusions without seeing the bigger picture. In addition, he is rather secretive, and has difficulty opening up to others about his past.

WRITTEN BY: Dove (they/them), est.

BIO / BACKGROUND

triggering / sensitive content: parental death, mental health

Cyrus Amani was born on May 19th, 1984 to a young Iranian couple who wanted the best for their son. When he was 3, they relocated to Toronto, Canada, for Cyrus (and later, his two younger siblings) to have better opportunities. His father worked part-time as a volunteer firefighter, which inspired Cyrus’ interest in helping people. Of course, being a firefighter seemed a bit overwhelming, but the idea of working in the medical field piqued his curiosity. While he had many hobbies growing up, medical work had always been his top interest. He would spend hours researching the field and all the different career paths on end, and his family was incredibly encouraging whenever he brought the topic up.

After high school, Cyrus attended university in Toronto, though was less fortunate when it came to applying for medical school. He eventually decided to go down to the US but was stuck between several states before deciding on Portland, Maine. When he arrived, he was immediately captivated by the scenery. Despite this, he was unsure if he could ever really call Maine “home,” because for so long, Toronto had been his home. After graduating, he decided to stay a bit longer in Portland to get a feel for the area better. He completed his five-year general residency program in the city and began his three-year Cardiothoracic program there as well.

After a few months, he received a call that nearly changed the course of his life. His father had been critically injured due to an accidental fall, and things weren’t looking so good. Cyrus rushed home to Toronto to say goodbye and was especially devastated due to his father being his top role model in life. His mental health plummeted greatly, and he was heavily conflicted about returning to Portland to finish his residency because of it. He stayed with his mother and siblings for a while to ensure their well-being and went back to Portland later that year. He figured would never really get over his father’s passing and would just have to find ways to cope with it.

After finishing the program, he became officially licensed in 2018—yet he chose to stay in Maine due to his license only applying to the United States. A few years later, he adopted a golden retriever puppy, Charlie, to help take his mind off stress (and to have company in his apartment), and he trained Charlie to become his psychiatric service dog when she was old enough. He worked in the city hospital up until late 2023 when he took Charlie and moved to Merrock to give the whole small-town life a try.

After high school, Cyrus attended university in Toronto, though he was less fortunate when it came to applying for medical school. He decided to attend school in America after some thinking, and after several acceptances, he narrowed down his list of possible states before deciding on Chicago. He completed his five-year general residency program in the city and began his three-year Cardiothoracic program there as well. Halfway through his second year in the program, he received a phone call that nearly changed the course of his life. His father had been critically injured due to an accidental fall, and things weren’t looking so good. Cyrus rushed home to Toronto to say goodbye and was especially devastated due to his father being his top role model in life. From there, his mental health plummeted immensely, with official diagnoses of prolonged grief disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. He stayed with his mother and siblings in Canada for a little while before returning to Chicago—his only reason for the return was that his mother persuaded him to pursue his dreams. He agreed to head back and settled into a small apartment. After several months of training, he officially became licensed in 2019 and started work almost immediately. In 2022, he adopted a golden retriever puppy named Charlie to help take his mind off of his stress (and to have company). He later trained Charlie to become his psychiatric service dog when she was old enough. After a while, he realized the big city life just wasn’t for him any longer. In late 2023, he packed up his things (and Charlie) and moved about an hour and a half away to Blue Harbor in hopes of simultaneously managing his grief and starting anew.

My business operations plan

The demand for healthy food is increasing as people focus more on their health. That's why I've decided to start a healthy food delivery service. Even though I don't have a physical store yet, I think starting from my own home is a good way to begin and make money until I can expand. In this blog post, I will explain how I plan to run the business, where I will get the ingredients and my vision for the future.

To purchase the ingredients, I will buy them from local farmers, growers, and organic food suppliers in my area. This ensures fresh and high-quality ingredients while also saving costs compared to local stores.

At first, I will manage everything in the business by myself. But as the business grows and more people want our healthy food, I will hire a team. They will help with different tasks and ensure timely delivery to customers.

Starting a business in Canada requires various licenses and permits. These include registering the business with the government and providing information about the location, business name, and structure. Depending on the industry and activities, specific licenses such as the Safe Food for Canadians Licence, Business Number Registration, Agreement to Implement Employment Equity, and Weighing and Measuring Device permit may be needed.

To start delivering my healthy food, I will need cooking appliances, utensils, storage containers, and tools for food preparation. Initially, I can use my own vehicle for deliveries, but as the business grows, I may need additional vehicles or collaborate with delivery services. I will also create an online platform for customers to easily view the menu, place orders, and make payments. Packaging materials such as compostable containers and branded labels will help present the products attractively.

The Benefits of Studying MBBS in Russia: Why Indian Students are Choosing Russia

In recent years, the demand for studying MBBS abroad has surged among Indian students. Factors like intense competition, high fees, and limited seats in Indian medical colleges have driven aspiring doctors to explore alternatives overseas. Among these options, Russia stands out as one of the most popular destinations for Indian students who want to pursue an MBBS degree. With its high-quality education, affordable tuition fees, and globally recognized degrees, studying MBBS in Russia offers several advantages. This article delves into the key benefits of studying MBBS in Russia and why Indian students are increasingly choosing this path.

Why Study MBBS Abroad?

The dream of becoming a doctor is shared by thousands of Indian students, but the challenging medical entrance exams in India, such as NEET, leave many qualified students without a seat. With only a limited number of seats in government colleges and exorbitant fees in private institutions, many students are unable to pursue their medical aspirations within India. This situation has prompted them to explore options to study MBBS abroad.

Studying MBBS abroad offers numerous benefits such as access to world-class medical education, exposure to international standards, and the opportunity to practice medicine globally. For Indian students, MBBS programs abroad offer a cost-effective solution, often without compromising on the quality of education. Countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Bangladesh, and the Philippines have emerged as some of the most popular destinations for studying medicine.

Why Study MBBS in Russia?

Russia has a long history of providing top-notch medical education.  Indian students have been choosing Russia for their MBBS education for several decades, and the trend continues to grow stronger each year. There are many reasons why Russia has become a preferred destination for Indian students, including affordability, high academic standards, state-of-the-art facilities, and recognition by international medical bodies such as the World Health Organization and the Medical Council of India.

Here are the main reasons why Indian students opt to study MBBS in Russia:

1. Affordable Education

One of the biggest advantages of pursuing an MBBS in Russia is the affordability. Unlike Indian private medical colleges, where tuition fees can soar into millions of rupees, Russian medical universities offer significantly lower fees. Depending on the university and region, annual tuition fees in Russia can range between USD 3,500 and USD 6,000. This affordability makes it a highly attractive option for students who want to study MBBS abroad without breaking the bank.

Moreover, the cost of living in Russia is relatively low compared to Western countries. Students can live comfortably in cities like Moscow, St. Petersburg, or Kazan on a modest budget. Accommodation, food, transportation, and healthcare are generally affordable, making Russia a financially viable option for students from middle-class Indian families.

2. Globally Recognized Degrees

Another major reason why Indian students choose to study MBBS in Russia is the global recognition of Russian medical degrees. Russian universities are listed by international medical bodies such as the WHO, UNESCO, and MCI. Graduates from Russian medical universities are eligible to sit for the Medical Licensing Examinations in various countries, including India’s Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE). Passing this exam allows students to practice medicine in India.

Additionally, the global reputation of Russian medical degrees opens up opportunities for graduates to work in other countries such as the USA, Canada, and European nations, provided they meet the licensing requirements of those countries.

3. High-Quality Medical Education

High-quality instruction has long been offered by Russian medical universities.  Many of these institutions rank among the top medical universities globally and are known for their rigorous academic programs. Russia’s medical education system emphasizes both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The curriculum is designed to equip students with a solid foundation in basic medical sciences, clinical skills, and patient care.

Moreover, medical universities in Russia boast world-class infrastructure, modern teaching facilities, and well-equipped laboratories. Students have access to advanced medical technology and simulation centers, which help them hone their clinical skills before entering real-world healthcare settings.

4. English-Medium Programs

While Russian is the official language in Russia, many medical universities offer MBBS programs in English specifically for international students. This is a major advantage for Indian students, as they do not need to learn Russian fluently before beginning their studies. English-medium programs ensure that students can fully understand lectures, interact with professors, and complete exams without any language barriers.

However, students are also encouraged to learn Russian during their course of study, particularly for clinical rotations. This allows them to communicate effectively with patients and healthcare staff during internships and practical training.

5. No Entrance Exams

Unlike Indian medical colleges, most Russian medical universities do not require students to take any entrance exams for admission. Indian students who have passed the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) and have completed their 10+2 with a minimum of 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are eligible to apply directly to Russian medical universities. The absence of additional entrance exams simplifies the application process and reduces the stress of admission for many students.

6. Focus on Practical Experience

Russian medical universities place a strong emphasis on practical experience, which is crucial for a medical student's development. Starting in the second year of the MBBS program, students have the opportunity to participate in clinical rotations at affiliated hospitals. This hands-on experience allows students to work alongside doctors, interact with patients, and apply their theoretical knowledge in real-life medical settings.

The practical exposure students receive during their studies in Russia prepares them for their future careers as doctors and helps them develop the confidence and skills needed to handle patients effectively.

7. Cultural Diversity and International Exposure

Studying MBBS in Russia offers Indian students the chance to experience a rich and diverse cultural environment. Russia is home to students from all over the world, creating a multicultural campus life. Indian students studying in Russia have the opportunity to interact with peers from various countries, broaden their perspectives, and learn about different cultures and healthcare systems.

This international exposure not only enhances a student’s academic experience but also prepares them for a global medical career. Additionally, Indian students often find a strong support system within the large Indian student community in Russia, which helps them adjust to life abroad.

8. Advanced Research and Innovation

Russia is renowned for its contributions to the field of medical research and innovation. Many Russian universities are at the forefront of medical research, offering students the chance to engage in cutting-edge research projects. Students have the opportunity to work with experienced professors and researchers on projects related to various fields such as cardiology, oncology, neurology, and more.

Participation in research can greatly enhance a student’s academic profile and open doors to future opportunities in medical science and healthcare innovation.

9. Career Opportunities After Graduation

One of the key factors motivating Indian students to study MBBS in Russia is the wide range of career opportunities available after graduation. Russian medical degrees are recognized globally, and graduates can pursue careers in various countries, including India. After passing the FMGE or NEXT (National Exit Test) in India, graduates can practice medicine in India or continue their education by pursuing postgraduate studies.

Moreover, Russian medical graduates are also eligible to take medical licensing exams in countries like the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. This global recognition of Russian degrees allows graduates to explore career opportunities worldwide.

10. Support from MBBS Abroad Consultants

Navigating the process of studying MBBS abroad can be overwhelming for students and their families. This is where MBBS abroad consultants play a major role. These consultants provide expert guidance to students throughout the entire process, from choosing the right university to securing admission, arranging visas, and settling in Russia. They offer personalized assistance based on the student's preferences, academic background, and budget, ensuring a smooth transition to studying abroad.

Consultants also help students prepare for important exams like NEET and FMGE, as well as provide valuable advice on post-graduation career options. For Indian students considering studying MBBS in Russia, partnering with reliable MBBS abroad consultants can greatly simplify the process and provide peace of mind.

Challenges Faced by Indian Students in Russia

While there are many benefits to studying MBBS in Russia, it is important to acknowledge that students may also face some challenges. These include:

Language Barrier: Although English-medium programs are available, students need to learn basic Russian for interacting with patients during clinical rotations.

Climate: Russia has a colder climate compared to India, and it may take some time for students to adjust to the harsh winters.

Cultural Differences: Students may experience cultural differences and homesickness during their time in Russia, but the presence of a strong Indian student community can ease the transition.

Conclusion

For Indian students aspiring to become doctors, studying MBBS in Russia offers a wide array of benefits, including affordable education, globally recognized degrees, high-quality training, and exposure to international medical standards. The combination of practical experience, advanced infrastructure, and a supportive learning environment makes Russia an ideal destination for pursuing a medical degree.

With the guidance of trusted MBBS abroad consultants, students can easily navigate the process of securing admission, making their dream of studying medicine abroad a reality. By choosing to study MBBS in Russia, Indian students can embark on a rewarding journey that will equip them with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to succeed in the field of medicine both in India and globally.

Buying Carfentanil Online: Key Considerations for Safety and Legality

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in research chemicals, particularly in regions such as Canada and the UK. One of the more controversial substances in this category is Carfentanil—an extremely potent opioid. As access to research chemicals expands online, it's essential for individuals to be informed about the safety and legality of purchasing substances like Carfentanil. This article explores important considerations when Buy Carfentanil Online  and the factors to keep in mind regarding legality, especially in Canada and the UK.

Understanding Research Chemicals and Carfentanil

Research chemicals are synthetic compounds created for laboratory research purposes. They are often used in scientific studies to explore their chemical properties, effects, and potential medical applications. However, some research chemicals are misused, leading to severe health and safety risks. One such substance is Carfentanil, which is 100 times more potent than fentanyl and primarily used as an animal tranquilizer for large mammals.

Carfentanil is not approved for human use due to its extreme potency, which can be lethal even in small doses. Despite this, it has gained notoriety as a dangerous drug that can easily be misused, raising significant concerns when purchased online.

Key Considerations When Buying Carfentanil Online

1. Safety Precautions

The first consideration when buying Carfentanil online is safety. Because of its high potency, handling even a minuscule amount of Carfentanil can be hazardous. In some cases, exposure to small quantities through the skin or inhalation can result in an overdose.

If you are involved in research or scientific studies and require Carfentanil for legitimate purposes, ensure you follow these safety protocols:

Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat.

Work in a controlled environment like a laboratory with fume hoods or other air filtration systems.

Avoid direct physical contact with Carfentanil to reduce the risk of accidental exposure.

Dispose of the substance according to your country's regulations for hazardous materials.

Additionally, ensure you purchase Carfentanil from reputable online sources like China Lab Chemicals, which specialize in providing research chemicals for legitimate scientific use.

2. Legality in Canada and the UK

The legality of buying Carfentanil varies by country, and it’s crucial to understand the legal landscape in your region.

Research Chemicals in Canada

In Canada, Carfentanil is classified as a controlled substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). This means that possessing, distributing, or producing Carfentanil without proper authorization is illegal. Importing Carfentanil without a valid license can result in criminal charges.

When buying research chemicals in Canada, ensure that you are compliant with Canadian laws. Always verify the credentials of the seller and confirm that your purchase is for a legitimate research purpose.

Misuse of these chemicals can have life-threatening consequences and lead to serious legal repercussions.

For those looking to buy Carfentanil online, trusted sources like China Lab Chemicals provide access to legitimate research chemicals. However, always remember to exercise extreme caution and comply with all relevant laws and safety regulations.

Conclusion

Buying Carfentanil online for research purposes requires careful consideration of both safety and legality. The risks associated with handling Carfentanil are immense, and its legal status in regions like Canada and the UK adds further complications. To protect yourself and those around you, always source your research chemicals from reputable suppliers like Buy Diclazepam Online , follow safety protocols, and stay informed about the legal frameworks in your country.

Whether you're working in Canada, the UK, or any other part of the world, it’s essential to approach the purchase of Carfentanil with the seriousness it demands.

Weed in Melbourne: A Comprehensive Guide

Cannabis, often known as weed, has become a widely discussed topic in Melbourne, especially as attitudes toward it evolve across the globe. While Australia's stance on cannabis varies from state to state, Melbourne, as part of Victoria, offers an intriguing look at how cannabis is regulated and used within the country. Whether for medical or recreational purposes, understanding the legal landscape, cultural influence, and future prospects of Weed in Melbourne is crucial for both residents and visitors.

Overview of Cannabis Laws in Australia

In Australia, cannabis is classified as a controlled substance under federal law, meaning that its possession, sale, or cultivation without a permit is illegal. However, the enforcement and specifics of these laws can differ depending on the state or territory. Some states are more lenient, while others impose strict penalties for even minor possession.

The Evolution of Cannabis Regulations in Victoria

Victoria, where Melbourne is the capital, has taken significant steps toward decriminalizing cannabis, at least for medicinal purposes. The Victorian government legalized medicinal cannabis in 2016, making it one of the first Australian states to do so. Although full recreational use remains illegal, there have been ongoing debates and campaigns aimed at changing these laws.

Cannabis Legalization in Melbourne

The legal landscape of cannabis in Melbourne reflects the evolving attitudes of society towards this plant. While Melbourne has made progress toward medical cannabis legalization, recreational use still faces significant legal barriers.

The Legal Status of Weed in Melbourne

In Melbourne, recreational cannabis remains illegal, although there are exceptions for medical use. The penalties for possessing or using cannabis for non-medical reasons range from fines to imprisonment, depending on the amount involved and the circumstances.

Medical Cannabis in Victoria

Victoria has allowed access to medical cannabis for patients with a valid prescription since 2016. Conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, and certain forms of cancer are among the conditions that can qualify for medicinal cannabis use. As demand grows, more doctors are becoming familiar with the prescribing process, making it easier for patients to gain access.

Recreational Cannabis: Current Laws and Future Prospects

While medical cannabis is legal, recreational use is still not allowed under Victorian law. However, public opinion is shifting. Numerous advocacy groups are pushing for full legalization, similar to what's been seen in Canada or certain US states. While legalization for recreational use seems inevitable, it remains a contentious issue, with opponents citing potential public health and safety concerns.

How to Access Weed in Melbourne

Medical Cannabis Prescriptions

Access to medical cannabis in Melbourne requires a prescription from a doctor. Only patients with certain qualifying conditions are eligible, and the process can be stringent.

The Role of Healthcare Providers

Healthcare providers play a crucial role in ensuring patients receive the correct form and dosage of cannabis. GPs or specialists typically prescribe it after reviewing the patient's medical history, symptoms, and overall health.

How to Obtain a Prescription for Medicinal Cannabis

The first step to obtaining medicinal cannabis is consulting with a healthcare provider who is experienced in the area. If the condition meets the criteria, the patient can receive a prescription and source their cannabis from approved pharmacies or distributors.

Accessing Medical Cannabis: Pharmacies and Delivery Services

Patients can purchase medical cannabis from licensed pharmacies in Melbourne, and there are delivery services available to bring products directly to their homes. The range of available products varies, from oils to capsules and even vaporizer cartridges.

Cannabis Culture in Melbourne

Melbourne is known for its thriving cultural scene, and cannabis plays an increasing role within it. From social events to the arts, weed is becoming more ingrained in the city’s lifestyle.

The Growing Popularity of Cannabis

Cannabis culture is growing in Melbourne, particularly among young adults and those interested in wellness trends. More and more people are exploring cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes, albeit discreetly.

Cannabis Social Events and Clubs

Though still underground, cannabis-related social clubs and events are slowly emerging in Melbourne. These gatherings often focus on education and advocacy for cannabis legalization, with the goal of normalizing its use.

Cannabis in Art, Music, and Culture

The Future of Cannabis in Melbourne

Melbourne’s cannabis future looks promising as more countries around the world move towards legalization, creating a global shift in how marijuana is perceived.

Trends in Cannabis Policy Reform

Globally, there is a trend toward decriminalizing and legalizing cannabis, and Melbourne seems poised to follow suit. Political debate around cannabis reform has heated up in recent years, and it’s clear that the status quo may soon change.

Global Influence on Australian Cannabis Laws

Countries like Canada and the US have paved the way for cannabis legalization, and their influence is increasingly felt in Australia. Lawmakers are closely observing these countries’ policies as they consider changes to Victoria’s own laws.

Potential Impact of Full Legalization

Full legalization in Melbourne could have far-reaching effects. Economically, it could open up new industries, create jobs, and generate significant tax revenue. Socially, it could reduce the stigma associated with cannabis and allow for safer, regulated consumption.

The Impact of Weed on Society in Melbourne

Cannabis, like any other substance, has both positive and negative impacts on society. It is essential to understand these effects as Melbourne potentially moves towards full legalization.

Economic Benefits of Cannabis

One of the biggest advantages of legalizing cannabis is the potential economic benefit. With proper regulation, Melbourne could see a significant influx of revenue from cannabis-related businesses.

Social and Cultural Implications

Cannabis has the potential to impact Melbourne’s social and cultural fabric. While some fear it could lead to negative behaviors, others argue that responsible use can enrich personal experiences, especially in creative and social settings.

Health and Well-being: Risks and Benefits

Tips for Cannabis Users in Melbourne

For those interested in using cannabis in Melbourne, it’s important to be informed and mindful of the law.

Responsible Cannabis Consumption

Always start low and go slow—this is a common mantra in the cannabis world. Whether you're using cannabis medically or recreationally, it's important to understand your own tolerance and avoid overconsumption.

Dosage and Safety

Accurate dosing is key, especially for newcomers. Start with a low dose and increase it gradually to minimize the risk of adverse effects, particularly with edibles or other potent forms of cannabis.

Navigating Public Consumption Laws

Melbourne’s laws prohibit public consumption of cannabis, so even medicinal users need to be cautious. Always consume cannabis in private settings to avoid legal issues.

Common Misconceptions About Cannabis in Melbourne

There are plenty of myths surrounding cannabis, particularly in places where it's not fully legal.

Myths and Facts About Weed

One common misconception is that cannabis is always harmful. While misuse can be dangerous, regulated use, especially for medicinal purposes, has been shown to offer significant benefits.

The Stigma Around Cannabis Users

Despite the increasing acceptance of cannabis, there’s still a lingering stigma attached to users. Some people view cannabis consumption as reckless or irresponsible, but this perception is slowly changing as more people become educated about the plant's benefits.

Cannabis in Melbourne is a multifaceted issue, reflecting the broader trends of legalization, cultural acceptance, and medical use. Although recreational cannabis remains illegal, the growing support for reform suggests that change is on the horizon. In the meantime, medical cannabis offers relief to those in need, while the cultural impact of cannabis continues to spread across the city.

CHARACTER INFORMATION

face claim: Ramin Karimloo

full name: Cyrus Amani

nickname(s) / goes by: Cy

pronouns & gender: Cis man, he/him

sexuality: Bisexual

birth date: May 19th, 1984

birth place: Tehran, Iran

arrival to merrock: December 2023

housing: The Suburbs

occupation: Cardiothoracic surgeon

work place: Merrock Hospital

family: Mother and younger siblings in Toronto

relationship status: Single

PERSONALITY

Cyrus is a generally goodhearted, community-oriented, and witty man, always wanting to be there for people, regardless if he has a connection to them or not. He makes sure to be considerate of others (especially regarding patients, who he has an immense soft spot for.) Despite this, he is rather headstrong and irrational (and in that area, a bit hard to read), often thinking about things and jumping to conclusions without seeing the bigger picture. In addition, he is rather secretive, and has difficulty opening up to others about his past.

WRITTEN BY: Dove (they/them), est.

BACKGROUND / BIO

triggering / sensitive content: parental death, mental health

Cyrus Amani was born on May 19th, 1984 to a young Iranian couple who wanted the best for their son. When he was 3, they relocated to Toronto, Canada, for Cyrus (and later, his two younger siblings) to have better opportunities. His father worked part-time as a volunteer firefighter, which inspired Cyrus’ interest in helping people. Of course, being a firefighter seemed a bit overwhelming, but the idea of working in the medical field piqued his curiosity. While he had many hobbies growing up, medical work had always been his top interest. He would spend hours researching the field and all the different career paths on end, and his family was incredibly encouraging whenever he brought the topic up.

After high school, Cyrus attended university in Toronto, though was less fortunate when it came to applying for medical school. He eventually decided to go down to the US but was stuck between several states before deciding on Portland, Maine. When he arrived, he was immediately captivated by the scenery. Despite this, he was unsure if he could ever really call Maine “home,” because for so long, Toronto had been his home. After graduating, he decided to stay a bit longer in Portland to get a feel for the area better. He completed his five-year general residency program in the city and began his three-year Cardiothoracic program there as well.

After a few months, he received a call that nearly changed the course of his life. His father had been critically injured due to an accidental fall, and things weren’t looking so good. Cyrus rushed home to Toronto to say goodbye and was especially devastated due to his father being his top role model in life. His mental health plummeted greatly, and he was heavily conflicted about returning to Portland to finish his residency because of it. He stayed with his mother and siblings for a while to ensure their well-being and went back to Portland later that year. He figured would never really get over his father’s passing and would just have to find ways to cope with it.

After finishing the program, he became officially licensed in 2018—yet he chose to stay in Maine due to his license only applying to the United States. A few years later, he adopted a golden retriever puppy, Charlie, to help take his mind off stress (and to have company in his apartment), and he trained Charlie to become his psychiatric service dog when she was old enough. He worked in the city hospital up until late 2023 when he took Charlie and moved to Merrock to give the whole small-town life a try.

Chromium Market - Forecast (2024 - 2030)

The Chromium Market size is forecast to reach US$ 15.7 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 2.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Chromium can be used in a wide range of applications which include metal ceramics, chrome plating, refractory materials, dyes and paints, synthetic rubies, along with alloys such as ferrochromium, stainless steel, and other applications. Ferrochromium alloy is produced from chromite through silicothermic or aluminothermic reactions with chromium metal. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the total global automobile production reached 80.2 billion units in 2021, an increase of 3% as compared to 77.7 billion units in 2020. Chromium is commonly used for electroplating and conversion coatings in the exterior and interior of automobile parts such as steering wheel trims, gear shifts, license plate frames, bumpers, headlights, and other similar parts. Likewise, the anticorrosive properties of chromium make it ideal for electroplating electrical and electronic equipment. Thus, an increase in demand from the electronic industry along with an increase in automobile production acts as the major driver for the market. On the other hand, health hazards associated with the use of chromium may act as a constraint for the market.

 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 

COVID-19 Impact

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 lockdown has significantly reduced manufacturing, and production activities as a result of the country-wise shutdown of manufacturing sites, shortage of labor, and the decline of the supply and demand chain all over the world, thus, affecting the market. Studies show that the outbreak of COVID-19 sharply declined the production of raw materials in 2020 due to a lack of operations across multiple countries around the world. However, a slow recovery in the metallurgy industry has been witnessed across many countries around the world since 2021. Chromium is primarily used in the metallurgy industry during the production of metals in order to provide corrosion resistance and a glossy finish to the metals. For instance, according to the World Steel Association, the annual production volume of steel in Spain reached 14 million metric tons in 2021, an increase of 27.7% in comparison to 2020. Furthermore, in September 2021, Emirates Steel, based in Abu Dhabi, announced its plans for the development of a new steel manufacturing plant in the country. Once completed, the new plant is expected to increase the company’s total steel production capacity to over 5 million tons per year. In this way, a steady increase in the production of steel is expected to increase the demand for chromium as it is crucial for the production of stainless steel, owing to its hardening and corrosion resistance properties. This indicates a steady recovery of the market in the upcoming years.

Report Coverage

The report: “Chromium Market Report– Forecast (2022-2027)”, by IndustryARC covers an in-depth analysis of the following segments of the Chromium Industry.

By Type: Trivalent Chromium, Hexavalent Chromium.

By Application: Metal Ceramics, Chrome Plating, Refractory Materials, Dyes and Paints, Synthetic Rubies, Alloys (Ferrochromium, Stainless Steel, Others), and Others.

By End-Use Industry: Metallurgy, Hydraulics & Heavy Machinery, Aerospace & Aviation, Automotive, Construction, Electronics, Others.

By Geography: North America (USA, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Russia, Belgium, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Malaysia, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), South America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile and the Rest of South America), the Rest of the World (the Middle East, and Africa).

Key Takeaways

Trivalent Chromium held a significant share in the Chromium market in 2021. Its wide range of characteristics, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance properties made it stand out in comparison to other types of chromium in the market.

Metallurgy industry held the largest share in the Chromium market in 2021, owing to the increasing demand for chromium for the production of metals such as steel, aluminum, and more. According to the World Steel Association, the annual production volume of steel in Belgium reached 7 million tons in 2021, an increase of 13.6% in comparison to 2020. The total steel production in Belgium reached 6.1 million tons in 2020.

Asia-Pacific dominated the Chromium Market in 2021, owing to the increasing demand for chromium from the metallurgy sector of the region. For instance, according to the World Steel Association, Japan is considered to be the third-largest country in steel production with 96.3 million tons of steel produced in 2021.
