Listen, I think you're one of the people who have a clear idea of what needs to happen in this industry and I agree with you wholeheartedly on a lot of subjects. My only point is that I think caregivers PRE 1284 could have done more to protect themselves.

I've never heard a center say anything pro the 5 patient limit. Most of the ones that are well run have tremendous respect for independent growers and frankly depended on them to get to where they are today. I don't think they were intimidated by them as competition, either, so I'm not sure how that provision made it into 1284. But it was a mistake, and a mistake that needs to be fixed.
