New organization assisting indigent patients in CO

Met these guys a few nights ago and it seems like they're really looking to help hospice/indigent patients get free and cheap meds by teaming with dispensaries. Anyone know anything about these guys? Haven't heard of them before, but they were set up next to SAFER and Sensible.

I'm really glad to see something like this! I can't wait to learn more about em.
Depending on how they define "indigent"; I may qulifiy.

Never heard of them but there's a growing collective of growers who are pulling together to provide free Phoenix Tears to cancer patients. It's a great way to also get rid of all that excess I'm going to have when all these new regs take effect! Plus a nice way to get rid of trim & seeded product. :thumbsup:

Phoenix Tears???

Phoenix Tears???

In a nutshell, oil.
Looks like tar, thick as hell. If you haven't heard of Rick Simpson and what he's been doing up in Canada - it's very interesting. There's a documentary I think called "Run From The Cure". I think it's a free download out on the 'net & on YouTube too probably. The poor guy is just trying to help patients and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are giving him a helluva time. All kinds of harassment & raids. I don't fully support all his beliefs in Phoenix Tears (basically believes it cures everything) but have seen incredible results in my & other cancer patients. We also don't extract it the way he does, nor give it to our patients like he does (we do capsules), but the end result is nearly the same.

Did a quick search: Phoenix Tears - Promoting Hemp Oil as a natural healing agent... (http://www.phoenixtears.ca/) check it out.

Here's a link to the movie:

Forgot how funny the opening was "THC certified" :D

I've only seen Phoenix Tears once and I think they made an error in the process. Waiting to see the real deal still...

Those of us who are doing it aren't vending it to dispensaries and I don't think any of us plan too. Nothing against dispensaries but just want to be sure to get it into the hands of the cancer patients. If we get more growers (right now it's only about 6 of us) maybe that will change. Most of the growers like myself also work in the medical field so we're very careful when recommending & putting a patient on it. We're trying to follow as strict protocol as possible. If you have any customers who are cancer patients, let me know even though right now we have more patients than we can provide for, hopefully that will change.

It ain't easy and it's a slow process. But our process is good and much safer than what Rick demonstrates.

I was just about to say... the method is out there. Figured I hadn't seen more of it because it wasn't that great, but I will take your word on the tears.

Hey are you going to keep the process top secret like how sam the skunkman's hiding his dry sift technique? You know, you could possibly help out a lot more cancer patients by updating the old, obsolete method. Just a thought. :D I know my cancer patient would be thankful.

It's a little difficult to describe and I'm not the expert - one of the other growers is. I mostly just donate my product. I've seen the start of the process & the ending, so I have a decent idea but as far as building the still itself - I'm a little clueless. I'll see if I can get him to write up a build tutorial. To me it looks like a pressure cooker with some cooling coils, a condenser and an extraction line. Process takes something like 15 hours, but the end result is great. I've sampled a couple of the capsules. I thought it was just going to be a body buzz but it was definitely more than that, of course that was two capsules. Typically a patient just takes one a day.

I may be in the position to donate here in the next few months. What do I need to do?

[TheReleafCenter]

I haven't had time to really check them out, so I'd refrain from donating until you do. A lot of times these non profits sound great but are poor stewards of money/meds.

MMAPR works to make alternative treatment affordable. We provide indigent patients up to 50% off the state fee and alternative meds, as well as free or discounted doctors consultations.

MMAPR is lobbying on behalf of indigent patient rights to ensure that homeless patients who do not have a static home address have the ability to receive a state issued MMJ card. Moreover, we are working to ensure that veterans and indigent patients who reside in assisted housing programs have a place to legally medicate. We are proposing legislation that allows non-profit MMC's to provide for on-site medicating for these patients.

To get involved, please contact us at [email protected] or call 303-386-4001.

Sincerely,
The MMAPR Team
