Oh well...

Those guys in the mountains have been growing pot since before any of this... they aren't going anywhere.
If this passes I won't be renewing my card... I'll be growing my own and I'll be putting my old drug dealer's number back on speed dial for those times when my herb isn't ready.

I'd suggest you all do the same! Boycott this shit... don't ever step foot in the mega dispensaries! Show them they can't just make the decisions for us while ignoring our input!

If there was ever a time to Overgrow, now is it! They apparently didn't have the nutsacks to strip patient's rights to grow... so take advantage of that fact saving yourself some money in the process...

As I predicted many moons ago the ganja business will be ruled by the big boys and all the little growers will be unable to compete.
So much for the pipedream of power to the people.

yup well the power has just changed hands thats all.the leo's knows whats going on look at how they are against this bill.they want all of the power they had back and they know their power is slipping away to the gov and the big boys.now it will be harder to get part of that cash cow back.

i agree but the bad part is your name is on a list now.like myself i have never had any type of record now i feel i do somewhat or atleast marked.

so would that mean you can't even grow for yourself anymore or for just your patients either?:wtf:

this looks like to me then it will pretty much be illegal for the most part unless you sign your life away to 1 of these big shops?

I get out of it that you can grow and/or be caregiver for 5 patients and less and you do not have to register, you may only charge your patients the cost of cultivation, but, in order to sell excess to dispensaries you need a growers liscense and that will cost you.

I swore there was something in this bill which was set out to kill delivery services, which is pretty much what one on one caregiving is.

Last night they ammended and removed the delivery cause, disp. can still deliver, do not know if this applies to independant growers/caregivers.

i see and how do they propose they regulate your "cost" as a caregiver? the ones that grow and i mean real growers not the little 600watt in your closet setup knows how much it cost to really grow good meds.and news flash it is'nt cheap. also you would have to calculate the growers exp and time into the cost.so how is this supposed to help anyone again?

also that still cuts out the small guys and the shops does anyone realize how many people this is going to sink? with the jobless rate at such a high along with high prices across the board on everything and the state and romer wants to do this now? WTF WOW

[Klonzinc]

just found out some key things here and pretty much were all fucked.1st off they are trying to get this passed in the next week or so and it will then go in effect by july of this year.also all of our records that are supposed to be sealed by the state will be fair game to all leo.they also want upwards of 35 to 50k upfront for any shop to stay in biz no payments no nothing all monies in full or you close down.they are trying to bring the 5 patient rule back into play and even then after this passes if you do still want to be a caregiver on a small scale you have to give all your hard work and time away for free you can't charge anything for it. talk about romer being a total sell out.so as old elmer says thats all folks.wtf this is going to sink aton of people aton.

ps so much for good things to come.

This will not into effect until July 1 of 2011, a state wide ban on new Disp will go into effect July 1st of this year.

[palerider7777]

might want to ck that or it might be right idk i was told that by greatful.i was told that it was all to go in effect this july.but i was also told the other day that if this passed it would not take effect until next year so idk which is correct.

so are you saying none of the bill if passed would go in effect until next july?only the ban on any new disp?

I do not know how they will figure the cultivation cost or even enforce it unless a patient complains, I know my 10-1k's cost me more in elec, than my patients can afford, and that is just elec, nonthing else, I relied on a few choice shops purchasing my extra to pay the bills, but If I must move my product now I will be giving it the patients for 200 a zip and not some mega disp.

yup same here i'll keep my 225 a zip here as thats what i started out at but my price will depend on what this bill does here if it makes things alot harder or cost more or whatever my price has to reflect that.but yes as cheap as i can keep it thats what i'll do. i would sell to the shops at 275 to help offset the costs.looks like that will be over in a year as u said atleast i hope we have a year atleast.but besides all of that even if i still do ok does'nt mean i forgot the others that have put so much into all of this.im small time 4 patients but even so i still can see the harm this bill will cause across the board.
