The new medical marijuana draft

What I do like about the new draft on how I understand it is people wont be able to bring the Northern Cali outdoor up here and donate it to the dispensaries. The dispensaries will have to keep a clear log on who their providers are and the growers will have to get their strains tested. So it will take the black market out of the picture. The Cali outdoor is cheap and most of the time can't compare to what a dedicated indoor grower accomplishes with quality. I went in one dispensary to try to donate some top quality meds and i asked him to tell me what is was worth to him and he told me 2400. LMAO I laughed and felt insulted. I checked his meds out in his store and they were all outdoor junk. And he was charging 15/g. So clearly he is not helping out patients. Paying low cheap prices for dirt then selling them for top dollar. I want to expose his name but I wont for I am respectful but I will NEVER deal with him again.

I don't think that this new law will actually stop the crappy outdoor from coming up here. How you gonna enforce that?

My understanding is dispensaries must keep track of where there meds came from. And the dept of agriculture tracks and tests the meds the growers are growing. So not just anybody can go in a dispensary and donate outdoor meds. right?

does the department of ag inspect every grain crop, every fruit tree, every jar of local honey? Some of these rules are just full of shit. i.e. only specific scale approved by the state, containers defined by the DOH. Give us a fucking break. Like the community hasn't been dealing with these gray areas dispensaries for years, and complaints have been minimal up until the past year or two when legalization came up. And every body started trashing Joanna and others with their own self serving bullshit. And I'd imagine some of these same disgruntled control freaks are going right along with the state because they will have a foot in the door and a government hand up their ass. :twocents:

Legalization is the only way, and no outrageous tax to balance the books that have been mismanaged to nearly being broke off of cannabis. Cut the cops, cut the services. They've cut the health services for the poor, but not for state workers. Cannabis tax should go to help the seniors and disabled, not the general fund. :twocents: more. :D

The more the government gets involved the more it will all be taxed and fee'd to death. Legalization is the best way and the fairest way. Its a substance that should never have been regulated to begin with. But I live in the real worl not a fantasy world so I know government will just do with it what governments do with everything, destroy the practicality of it.

Not only that, the cost of prosecuting and incarcerating those folks would more than cover for any tax. But I still am not opposed to a tax on recreational purpose use....just like booze.

May I suggest look to cali for the implementation of these rules and regs...they are already in place in cali., as a way to control nuisances. Not to promote patients health and welfare...

Next come our dispensary laws...they are coming. I just got the caselaw they are going to use for it, to promote the public interest in patient safety reasons.

Any restrictions to my 1 st. amendment open-ended right communications is contempt of a federal injunction...which applies to we the patient, more than it does the healthcare practitioner.
