He pointed out that caregiver-to-caregiver sales (i.e. caregivers selling to a dispensary) is now a legal gray area. There have been prosecutions already. In his view, the bill is likely to pass in nearly its current form before May, and may become law in July. He hopes they will also add a cultivation license, by which growers could supply dispensaries, but he doesn't think it will happen. He said bluntly, that if you want to sell marijuana to a dispensary, you will need to become their employee, start a dispensary yourself ($5000+ fee), or possibly write some really creative contracting agreement that is likely to be disputed in court.
that is confusing. because wouldn't it be legal if a card holder sold to a cardholder now matter if they are growing or a dispensary or whatever, especially if both sides are paying taxes and have the correct number of patients for quantity sold?

what's really frustrating is you can't find any information that walks you through what passed on the internet. if you see another group meeting/forum meeting could you post about it? i'd love to attend
