From what I understand the grow portion of a dispensary must be owned by the dispensary.

It also states anyone convicted of any drug felony EVER would be barred from having any ownership in a dispensary or a commercial grow. Any other felony conviction has to be more than 5 years old. So a rapist that was convicted 6 years ago could own a dispensary, whereas someone convicted 25 years ago for selling a joint would be barred forever.

Caregivers would be limited to 5 patients and must get fingerprinted and registered with the state along with a criminal background check. Anyone with a felony that is 5 years or less would be disqualified from being a caregiver. Caregivers must sell their medicine for the cost of of cultivation but can charge for caregiving services.

This is a bill written by the dispensaries to monopolize the market and to screw growers/caregivers/patients.

I could not agree more with this Statement "This is a bill written by the dispensaries to monopolize the market and to screw growers/caregivers/patients." I have been saying this and many times screaming it to ever would listen. Wake up people we have to defeat this bill, don't leave it to the other guy, because that "other guy" is busy selling us all out!
