RCMP busts would have access to those records.

Hmm interesting. Not sure how I feel about that either, unless it's for medical purposes and I'm getting some type of discount or able to have more because of it. Perhaps that's just because it's technically still illegal and they want to monitor who is purchasing in case their using seeds to grow and sell illegally. So this is the deal they make with the police there to not be shut down.
The question would be how searchable/public is that information? Would it come up on police background checks for employers, because that would probably be a big deterrent. Not a deterrent for smoking, a deterrent for purchasing legally. Which defeats the purpose, as you want to make it easier, safer and more desirable to purchase it legally than illegally, otherwise the process is useless.
