I had some caregivers making rounds this weekend and they said most places they stopped either didn't have cash or were lowballing.

We still encourage people to come in if they have realistic expectations of what their nugs are worth.

Yes, but not all of them. You have to look. A few I went to over the wknd basically said they'd continue to buy from me through the end of the year. But these were mostly places I'd been to before and they know me. If you don't have dispensaries you already have relationships with it might be even tougher for you. I'd estimate that 1/10 places you go to will make you an offer.

Yeap a friend of mine said the same thing. If you are not already known by a dispensory--good luck. He said that the one he has been providing is planning on growing 100% of their needs-so he is basically looking on either working for wages at this place or just doing something else for a living. So it looks like people just starting up are up the river without a paddle.

Under this bill--most dispensories are going to be 3 times as paranoid buying from independant growers--no matter what the quality.

I havent had any problems at all and in fact I tried a few dispensaries I havent been in before and they all were very receptive. What I find strange is every one of them I asked if they were going to stop buying from vendors at the end of the month and more than half said no. So we shall see what happens.

MMC's won't be able to buy from independent growers under 1284. I'd be more nervous if I was a GROWER and found an MMC that wanted my meds.

the bill never says that patients can't sell to other patients. Dispensaries can buy 30% from whoever they want

It still doesn't say patients can't sell to patients. There are lots of loopholes for dispensaries to get bud from patients who grow and caregivers. Patients who grow their own can still sell it to a dispensary owner. It's all interpretation. They just can't buy from peoe who don't have a mmj card. If you have a card you can grow/sell as long as you stay within your limits.

That's one of the loosest interpretations I've heard. This section clearly states that if you're a person selling MMJ, it can come from either:
A) an MMC's own OPCO
B) another MMC's OPCO, in an amount not to exceed 30% of on hand inventory.

It doesn't say patients can't sell to patients, but it's strikingly clear on who can sell to MMC's.

Even if a patient did sell to an owner, it would be massively illegal for them to then add that to their inventory.

They set up a separate class of people who can sell to dispensaries WITHOUT their card: infused products manufacturers.

I'm not a lawyer, but everything I've heard from attending multiple industry meetings seems to be in contradiction with what you're telling people on here.

yea, I'm afraid most of the patient and caregiver sales will be to their patients. the patients of small caregivers will end up supplying the black market.
