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.
I know a lot of caregivers were mislead by there super high priced mmj lawyers. Warren Edson is a total slimebag who made a lot of money misadvising caregivers , and then sold them up the river to the dispensaries under 1284. A lot of caregivers believed they would easily be able to negotiate contract with multiple dispensaries, wrong! By the time most people realized was about to happen, it was too late. I tried to warn several people who kind of brushed it off, now they are fucked scrambling around trying to save the ship before 1284 sinks everything.

I would love to join a caregivers union.
