    Tacoma Medical Marijuana

    I do see the problem. It is not just you, it is the whole shebang. If you have to buy then ya, you have to make money. I am a businessman. I understand. I just feel that people using for medical reasons should pay less than a recreational user.

    I don't set the prices, I just see them. Sure I would love a donation to offset my costs. It does cost to grow.

    Sorry Gypski, I already have a patient I supply.

    And, Jack, I am not whining, moaning, or any of the other stuff you stated. I asked a question and I stated my impressions. Quit looking for an issue. Sorry if my statements came out that way, I have issues expressing myself.

    I still would like to know how the heck you are getting around the dispensary law. I would start one if I knew I could safely do so and not break the law.

    If someone is on state medical aide you feel they should pay full pop?

    I understand regular prescription meds are expensive too. I think those folks get a break at the pharmacy, why not with MMJ? I am not saying just hand the stuff out for nearly free, look to the need for a sliding scale.

    The world is full of greedy people, not saying club420 is at all. I am talking the whole forest, not one tree.

    I've had AIDS since '93.

    We've supposedly had medical marijuana since '98.

    I'm tired of waiting for the government to follow the mandate of the people.

    At this point, I'm more angry at the government than scared of it - and I believe in jury nullification.

    Until December, I was on SSI. No one "in the business" gave me even so much as a free seed. There were plenty of so-called "compassionate souls" asking $20 - $30 a gram, though.

    However, those people don't post in forums and open themselves up like this. Why should they? They're getting paid. That's all they care about. I'm posting because we need people - not customers. We need volunteers and people like yourself, who want to make a difference in their communities. You don't get that by hiding in a corner and doing deals in parking lots.

    And, yes, we do actually give away a fair portion of the product. That's one of the problems we have. It's not like we're even getting the full $40/eighth. Just yesterday, we paid for a doctors visit for a patient who called and was desperate for help. Do you think she went home without meds? Do you think she paid for them? So, that's a case where we gave away $200 AND some meds. That was yesterday in Tacoma - not long, long ago in some far away land.

    Here's the deal: so far, only criminals and greedy types are in this industry in Washington. There are co-ops and patient groups. But, they operate very quietly. The average person would take months to find one. So, we want to change things. Unfortunately, though, we're just regular patients with no real resources. We don't have the kind of money it takes to even rent a building. So, it figures we would want to do this. The people we help are OUR people.

    As has been already stated here, if you don't want to pay for your meds there are options. Just remember if the state takes over the sales its going to cost a lot more than $350-$400 an ounce.

    Ya, I know, the whole thing is a mess, and not just in WA.

    Well until I can do a coop/dispensary/whatever you want to call it......within the confines of the law and not risk spending the last of my painful life in jail and loosing our home and all that other shit that goes along with this big F'ed up mess we call a country.....

    Yahoo for you with that lady....I commend you. See that kinda stuff needs to come out too.

    I hope I did not upset you, I really did not intend to. You sound like good peoples. Bummer you have AIDS. I wish you best and hope you stay the sunny side up with all this. Just so long as folks like the lady you mentioned don't suffer I am all for ya.

    You folks need to understand I used to be an EMT Paramedic before I got disabled. I really, really care about people getting relief for their issues. I really, really hate seeing folks profiteer (not profit) from someone else's misfortune.

    The outright legalization may indeed really screw up the market but I think in long term it will stabilize the market (IF we don't get screwed by the government...ya right).

    Ideally, supply and demand should set the price. The price is exaggerated over the cost specifically because of the risk and the cost of the risk taken. Myself, I see the stuff coming down. I have acquaintances in Cali that cannot get their price anymore since there is such a prevalence of product via the dispensaries............ That sounds healthy to me.

    The last time I bought was 1991, I paid $40 for a 1/4. Guess I am just an olden days person.

    We certainly appreciate your support!

    It's hard enough to fight the system. We don't need to fight each other. That only helps the enemy. (Even though it's really hard to keep my mouth shut about some of the stuff I see.)

    Are you considering mail order after you have received a qualifying patients explicitly stated authorization within the state? There are some counties that don't have access other then the black market or their distance prohibits travel to a place of access.

    Wow! You are an imaginative individual, aren't you? That thought never would have crossed my mind.

    On the face of it, I'd have to say we will deliver, like a pizza gets delivered. But, I don't foresee a day, any time soon, when sending stuff through the post won't be a rather quick form of organizational suicide, not to mention incarceration for the participants.

    It doesn't sound prudent and it would be of negligible value to the community we serve, I think. Most patients aren't exactly jet-setters.

    I can see your point about the mail, but if a service like UPS or FedEx is used, its not interstate, but intrastate commerce. Exactly the legal ramifications remains to be seen. Imaginative? I prefer creative, but both are relative. It is a novel idea though.

    Except that UPS and FedEx are national/international companies, so it could surely be considered interstate. Just my $.02

    You'd have to use a in state courier service, that only has a WA business license, and operates in no other state. But even that probably wouldn't be wise, at this point in time.

    Don't tempt providence imho.
