but I agree. If I were him I would help paying clients first.
In fairness to Rob, I think he threatened to sue on almost every provision.

See, I completely disagree with that. The people that opened dispensaries, by and large, were people with experience that had grown for a while or had decent connections. The "20 year old punks" (I'm 27, not sure if that makes me a punk) are the ones that knew they'd make more money swindling a few patients into signing up with them so they could go to the dispensaries and making the real money.

I understand why growers are upset, but I can't fathom why it's with MMC's in general. We were their bread and butter, and I'd dare say that 90% of them made their money off of wholesaling, not their patients.

But I'll put this question back on you: out of all of the caregivers out there, what percentage do you think GENUINELY care about patients and AREN'T in this to make a buck?

The last thing I want is for my patients to have to go to a caregiver who can rip them off without anyone ever knowing. If I put a jar of meds out covered in mold, people will spread the word. When we had a couple seeds in some great Master Kush a few months back, I came to the community and asked if there was a consensus on what to do with it. A caregiver sells a 70 year old cancer patient something crawling in mites and odds are no one ever knows.
