I can legally hold 2oz as a patient with an MMJ card and no designated caregiver. So let's say I happen to have several ounces of overgrowth. I'd like to get rid of it because I don't need that much medicine to control my pain. How would I go about sending it to a dispensary and being paid for my labor or services?

I am pretty sure I'd need to get a Federal Tax ID and start an LLC company. Yes? No?

Can anyone tell me where I might read the laws on this subject?
I formed a Colorado S-Corp and I use a Colorado bank with a credit card issued by that same Colorado bank so there is no question of my transactions intentionally crossing state lines. I only ship within the boundaries of the state of Colorado and do not use the USPS or interact with any other federal entity in any way whatsoever. I do sell my overage to Colorado dispensaries once I have taken care of my patients. I strictly follow state law relative to growing 6 plants per patient. I did have a dispensary offer me a contract but I wasn't comfortable with it. Having all my paperwork in order and hanging in the growop with the legal plant count per patient and with each plant tagged and labelled with the patient number on it was what I determined to be the best for my particular situation. My attorney thinks the same.

I know some dispensaries are offering grow contracts, but if you are inspected and your plant count exceeds your patient count and you are not the primary caregiver for those patients, IMO, you may be asking for trouble if you get inspected and you aren't in strict compliance with the plant count regs. Explaining a third party contract from a jail cell while hoping that the dispensary owner (who is actually the license holder) picks up your one phone call and comes down there to bail you out and pays out of his own pocket to defend you in court is not a scenario I particularly want to have to deal with.
