bullet points:

~6 plant limit, no specification on "mature" or "immature" plants, and no specification on where you must grow it, so i think you could grow outside.

~specific serious illnesses like MS and AIDS are listed, but it is left open with the clause "any medical condition that causes severe or chronic pain".

~no waiting term to qualify as a "genuine physician/patient relationship", you could meet your doctor 5 minutes before he writes your recommendation.

~it only refers to the "transfer" of marijuana, it does not specify if a caregiver can accept compensation for growing a patients weed, so i am amusing one can.

~ only one ounce of usable marijuana, that really low but it will get changed once the law has been on the books for a year or two.

~ it does not allow dispensaries BUT...

~ it sets no limit on the amount of patients a caregiver can have. it leaves open the possibility of having medical collectives....

which brings me to my question; now that the feds aren't raiding pot providers i am VERY VERY VERY interested in positioning myself to be one of these medical cooperative operators once the law is enacted, i know the Coalition for Medical Marijuana - New Jersey is the most active reform group in the state, and on Monday i am going to contact them, but i was wondering if anyone knows what i should be doing, or if anyone is interested in forming the collective with me.
