I feel this is bad (though very much needed) to be going outside the law. That lowers us to the same level we were before getting authorization.

I am all for dispensaries. They are needed. I also see the caretaker system works.

We could end up hurting our position as medical users to support something like this. I have been watching in particular Colorado, and they have a real mess with the dispensaries. California has so many I don't see how any can make money and I hear the quality of the product is decreasing because they just buy from any grower.

I commend the COOP on what they attempt to do, which is provide for patients in need that cannot, will not, or are unable to grow. BUT going outside the letter of the law is bad for the whole legalization process. WE MUST POLICE OURSELVES.

Sorry, I am sure I am upsetting many, but I sure as hell do not want to loose the legal use of such a wonderful medicine because other folks want to play outside the law.
FYI... We are a WA state Non-profit corporation [unlike many of the others] and have recieved a state master business/city license to provide safe access to medical cannabis, plus we have also recieved our nursery/seed/shop keeper licenses and have our scales register with the state. [Need proof come in and at a look at our licenses or go online to check our business status/licenses]

Plus what we are doing is not illegal it's a grey area and we have been in contact with Tacoma PAO Lindquist who has stated that he is not interested in legitimate medical marijuana patients helping each other... then back up that statement publicly in the newspaper.

So please I wouldn't worry about loosing the legal use of such a wonderful medicine do to our actions!!! the 10th ammendment of the US constitution gives you/us the right [and once you have a right to do something it is harder to take away!]
