Go to craigslist and see all the crap there. That is the biggest source of people ripping other people off, and that's growers selling stuff, not dispensaries.

It's not very credible for people to say MMC's are selling moldy or low quality stuff. That's just not true. MMC's pay the money, they aren't interested in having a bad name or ruining their credibility, since they are a retail store. If william breathes at westword finds mold on a MMC plant, you better bet he'd post that, and it would get out. People here would be screaming.

Instead, the people getting ripped off are the ones who are using private caregivers.

For example, no legit MMC would ever do business on craigslist past advertising. However, non-compliant growers easily peddle their crappy products on craigslist. It's safe to say that all the crap on craigslist is private party, which is growers, not MMC's.

Look at scrupulous companies like CannaMed who sell patient info and generally take advantage of them. It's large scale private growers who increased their patient counts this way, it wasn't just MMC's.
I know this is an old post but...it's funny you're so hard on these "caregivers" Pre 1284 this is were a lot of MMC's got their meds, yes from the very same caregivers. There are good and bad in each.
