mendal, that's sort of what I thought. I have read and read and read some more, and wanted some feel from people that were already set up. I read that cities are busting people that set up as coops or collectives when they trade out of retail type locations. The key is not to "profit". That leaves people with having to work from home and do deliveries. That leaves a problem of the cops raiding your house, and the feds taking your home away from you, unless you rent. Personally, I have a pretty nice house, and don't want the feds confiscating it. But, I understand if you grow no more than 99 plants, the feds won't touch you. There's a lot of things to consider. Where i live which is somewhat remote, it's unlikeley patients would come to me, anyway. Plus, the few neighbors I have would object to me openly growing grass. I doubt I could get the city to give me a permit to grow weed. (Do I need a weed grwoing permit?)
