Would this fly in Colorado with the upcoming new bill? They are doing it in Cali.
Selling MMJ vendor style like a farmer's market.
Inland Empire uses a farmerâ��s approach Farmersâ�� market style local collective opens in Riverside « WEST COAST LEAF
That's awesome. Especially because my wife and will be working out of farmers markets this summer...but I have no idea if it would fly here ("legally"). Guessing not.
It's all about plant count for dispensaries, right? We can still sell to each other. If you are a small craft grower, growing within your limits as a caregiver, why not?
If you had 5 patients and were a patient yourself, you could have 3/4 of a pound with you to sell and be legit.
maybe I'm missing something? I think that would be cool.
I doubt it because distrabution just like consumption has to be behind closed doors.
Plus, that's like slapping the Nazi Feds in the face saying "here I am; come get me!!!"
I don't think they'll last long at that.

I kindly have to disagree. A Colorado dispensary can sell to whomever has a MMJ License. What have the Feds done to them?Quote:

If you are a patient and a caregiver, you can sell to any MMJ license holder, right?
You also have to read what the bill DOESN'T say.
:D
Yeah but you can't sit roadside like a Farmer's Market and sell MMJ. Unless I have the Michigan Farmer's Markets in mind.

I guess it would hinge on whether or not distribution needs to be behind closed doors...I'm still working my way through the final version of the bill...
:stoned:
I thought it said caregivers can only sell to their 5 patients and only at cost? You can charge for other services though.Quote:

Also read somewhere, can't find it now, that a caregiver can obtain meds, most likely from dispensaries but it doesn't specify.
the 5 patient limit isn't going to stand. neither is local control. both of these have already been ruled on.
The acknowledgement of Dr approved increased counts (something the state constitution leaves to the caregiver) is interesting...
it's also curious that it hasn't been signed yet... I wonder if the leo lawyers are starting to see the holes in it.
If my doctor believes that my appropriate method would be to eat one gram of extracted oil a day, I would need >1 pound of buds a month to produce that. If I decided to use a strain like G13, 90 plants would be reasonable in order to have 30 clones, 30 veg, and 30 flowering and be within limits.
I imagine after the obvious constitutional issues are dealt with in the courts, the wild west will be even wilder than before.
1284 is going to be a much bigger headache for them than they think. Every cop in the state is going to want Romer's head.
that would be something funny to watch on 9 news...this just in cop goes postal because he is made to do real work now.found pitch fork in car parked in front of romers house......this just in cop turns out to be ritters son......slumped over the wheel of his car from an apparent heroin infused doughnut overdose.Quote:

If a patient can legally possess MMJ. It's a patient to patient transaction.
Keep your patients but only 5 of them on paper! Just daisy chain them. :D
Sure, you will have to keep your legal limit on plants but it's up to you to figure out a realistic amount you can grow for "X" patients.
Get creative!
HB10-1284 states that no two caregivers can join together for the cultivation of medical marijuana.
Okay, so if a patient can grow their own why can't a caregiver, in a virtual sense, let this patient, who is not the caregiver's patient on paper, use their grow room to grow their medicine?
This patient can't grow because of lack of experience and never shows up to tend their plants but I have the proof on paper that these plants are not mine and they are legally this patient's plants. This patient may be a person I used to caregive for.
You know what I mean!
What I've heard is that you can distribute mmj as an MMC or primary caregiver. If you're a primary caregiver, you're restricted to your own patients and can't do things like trade with another pc. If that's true, I don't see the idea of a farmers market working out.
Sorry, I'll try to be a little clearer this time.Quote:

Lets face it, caregivers with any kind of equipment investment cannot afford to caregive to only 5 patients especially if those 5 patients are surfing the dispensaries for their meds.
Is that any clearer? ;)
Patients aren't allowed to legally sell mmj, just mmc's, edibles manufacturers and primary caregivers.
Additionally, you can't sell it for any more than it costs you to grow it, but you can charge for caregiving services.
I'm sure you have seen this paragraph in the new bill, page59. How do you interpret this paragraph? Also, I think it's odd that a Center cannot sell MMJ if they do not have an optional premises cultivation license. From this paragraph, a Center has to buy 2 licenses (a center license and an optional premises license).Quote:

That's correct! But this "cost" is going to vary depending on a lot of circumstances.Quote:

this part here the provide part.may cultivate OR provide mj for mmj use.could this be the loophole we could use?
That's the point I'm trying to make.Quote:

That may be mitigated by this:

14 AWAY, OR ACQUIRE MEDICAL MARIJUANA EXCEPT AS ALLOWED PURSUANT
15 TO THIS ARTICLE.
I think there is a big difference between "provide" and "sell" in legal terms. The bill specifically talks about selling medical marijuana multiple times.
Their going to have one hell of a time policing one hundred thousand patients, but who knows maybe they'll try. If i were a patient that couldn't find a good caregiver, I'd hook up with people that do have a good one, and I'd casually meet up with them to get my meds before paying twice as much for a strain claimed to have high cbd but no PROOF. :cool:Quote:

Like I said, I think they make the distinction of who can SELL mmj very clearly throughout the bill. If you're a caregiver, you can't just jump between being a caregiver and a patient when it legally suits you. It seems like very shaky legal ground at best. Anyway, that's my two cents. :thumbsup:Quote:

Then to add insult to injury that caregiver has to basically do it for free--LOL.
Unbelieveable--over-reaching of the law.
i agreeQuote:
