The way I see it is, that if each valid MMJ memeber of a co-op is the designated provider for the next member, much like a chain joins one link to another it fits the parameter of the law. Patient records are protected by law (see the federal decisions from Yakima's 9th Circuit concerning THC Foundation and an Oregon patient). There is nothing in the law that states that two people cannot obtain from a mother source so to speak, yet consume the meds individually in separate places. There has to be a source other then illegal for those medically authorized and cannot or don't want to grow their own. It can't be a one way street, and could present discrimination issues and other legal issues such as allowing some one to use medical marijuana legally yet arresting them for buying off the street because they don't have legal access to a legal medication. That is entrapment or setting up the circumstances for entrapment. Clearly a violation of law. :twocents:
