Are private sales still legal?
Fuck the State. All sales of marijuana are technically illegal. Layering some bullshit tax law on illegal activities and making folks (fools) think they (State) has some HIGHER measure of control over patient/PRIVATE sales than they've had for the last 40 years or so is just too fuckin' funny!
**almost** as funny as the folks who think that just because they paid the same State idiots BIG money for licensing fees they can thumb their noses at Federal drug laws and grow as much weed as they please in warehouses.
It's all illegal. Just sell and grow (in count or close to) and do what you've always done and ignore this shit.

I didn't read anything except the first post so the question might of already been answered.
Private sales have never been legal. Yes it might of seemed to be legal at one time but technically it never was. The Amendment allows a patient to possess but gives no legal protection for anyone caught selling to anyone, registered or not, even if both parties are registered. It was a bit of a gray area when dealing with patient to patient. My buddies & I (all registered) would make a bit of a joke with it all whenever we medicated together. We never passed it directly from one person to another, just set it on the table, denounce ownership and then the next person would claim ownership of said product. Just in case any of the neighbors were eavesdropping on our gathering.
Now 1284 deals with licensed sellers (i.e.-MMC's). They are the only ones who can legally (at least by CO law) sell MMJ (still illegal by Fed law). Caregivers can provide to their patients but even that is a very gray issue and I believe it's was shown in that case involving the caregiver in Brighton that one has to do more than just sell weed (didn't she get jail time & a fine).
I don't charge my patients anything. Their plant count allows me to grow more plants & strains for all of our use. I do have some patients who provide services to me but it is not a direct barter system and I have never asked. They have always just offered. Some of the services they have provided me are: haircuts & manicures/pedicures (for my whole family - girlfriend & daughters love this!), bookkeeping/tax prep, legal advice, discount on real estate fees (when I sold my last place, they were my Realtor and only charged me half of the normal fee, which was given to the buying agent - so in others words my patient didn't make a commission off of me). Some of my patients now know each other and they too help each other out. One of my patients wants total anonymity so no one except me even knows they are a patient (their job is kinda high-profile & requires a security clearance, the only reason I think they trust me is back in the day I too had a high security clearance and know how to keep my mouth shut).
The Golden Rule of MMJ - "Nobody Talks, Everybody Walks."
Are private sales still legal?
From the Constitution
(b) "Medical use" means the acquisition, possession, production, use, or transportation of marijuana or paraphernalia related to the administration of such marijuana to address the symptoms or effects of a patient's debilitating medical condition, which may be authorized only after a diagnosis of the patient's debilitating medical condition by a physician or physicians, as provided by this section.
From a patient's perspective its my right and they can't make it illegal for me to buy up to 2 oz of weed or grow upto 6 plants. The new bills are all about controlling and discriminating against a protected class of people by intolerant politicians. The courts will have to sort out HB1284, SB109 and the even greater mess caused by the election(s) to ban dispensaries.
Long live Amendment 20!

That has never been a question. Patients could legally buy from the street dealer down on the corner. If there was a law enforcement stop, the SELLER would get popped, and the patient will walk.
They question is, if it's legal for patients to sell. I don't believe that it is, but only about 85% sure. Nobody has run it through the courts to set precedent yet.

Basically, for-profit caregiving went away, forcing growers to grow for 5 patients max. Some people read this that a caregiver can only grow 36 plants. That's not many if you are trying to make money. Some caregivers are getting around this by looking for 5 patients with increased plant recommendations, but that hasn't been tested in court.
If you are buying, don't buy more than 2 ounces at a time and you'll be fine. If you are selling, sell to legal, paperwork carrying patients and don't sell more than 2 ounces at a time.
If you are growing, don't grow more than 36 plants, and you should be fine.
I'm sure people with more time can post links to legislation etc. That's how I understand things, but I'm sure if I'm wrong someone will share.
Are you trying to get people arrested? You repeatedly give out incorrect info to people that could get them charged with a felony. Stop. Direct them to 1284 on Warren Edsons website and let them figure it out themselves if you are really trying to help. :wtf:

Isn't that one person's opinion on this controversial subject?
What's wrong with discussing various people's interpretations on this topic?
Surely you aren't arguing that you know specifically how anything is currently or in the future, right? Why should someone believe you instead of anyone else?
Take that post and analyze it if you disagree. You only seem to be talking shit, that's all. What's so wrong about that post?

if you meet up with a fed none of this topic will matter at all. only somewhat legal, dont forget

I've come to believe opinions on this topic are useless.
If you were to get caught, anything could happen.
I've heard some do temp caregiver papers and some say patient to patient is fine.
working with friends small scale? whatever
putting ads on craigslist or showing up at centers trying to sell product? scary!

I thought the initial post was pretty dead on in terms of what is legal/isn't. Anyone can always call our shop Mon-Fri and I'll give them my interpretation of how 1284 works. I think we've got it down for the most part.
