Is this fee set? Thannnn whooooooooooo!
No, but this is the model that I'd be willing to bet they adopt.

Do you recall any discussion regarding how many OPCL's can be licensed by a center? There is not an additional licensing requirement for OPCL's? You mentioned something about a plant husbandry permit or license?

I don't understand this 70/30 provision. In order to wholesale up to 30% of a center's product, it appears that it is assumed the remaining 70% will cover 100% of the patient's needs? I would think a center would need all that it can grow, especially given the disruption of supply from home growers, and a probable increase in patients because of the lack of available caregivers. Also, center's grow operations will no doubt be on a large scale where the need to buy from other centers should be limited, given ideal circumstances, i.e., a successful grow. And, given the competition of the centers who do survive, I doubt that there will be a lot of wholesaling (or strain sharing), and that centers will keep their successful strains to themselves.

One last thought: given the license fees mentioned in your notes as well as the increased cost of doing business in order to comply with this legislation, I reckon prices will go up for patients who go to centers? What say you centers?
A center can have as many OPCL's as it wants. The key is to have your OPCL's locally approved by the 1st of next month. That meets meaning zoning requirements. An easy way to get proof of "local approval" is a nursery or plant husbandry license. It proves you were in a locality and transparent about what you planned on doing with your building.

When I talked about that very issue with the 70/30, Cook scoffed and said everyone should have extra meds. I still don't understand how a wholesaling model is possible.

One panelist specifically talked about how cheap patients would be able to find meds in the next couple months as people dump meds they can't account for, a point I've made on this board before. Cook said he expects prices to drop across the board as people are growing more of their own. I'm skeptical...
