We have started turning away most vendors and have set up even more locals with the equipment, genetics and nutrient recipe to help us keep the number of strains we have on the shelf, they call us if they have problems with pests etc. This way we seem to be having more quality control of the meds we get. And it stimulates our local economy by spreading the wealth locally.
That is just one of many reasons I oppose HB-1284, just like you can't mass produce great wine the same is true with medical cannabis in my opinion, and HB-1284 sells out the small growers, and that slack will be taken up by the big money chain dispensaries and possibly give big tobacco the room they need to move in.
Wow, if only the people knew what they really intend on doing with HB-1284. I wonder who had more of an influence on the bill, the big money dispensaries or the tobacco companies. Either way, if this passes, I hope both of them are boycotted until they close down.
