Federal law is my worry and the state giving up the info. That's why alot of people refuse to fill out the new dispensary application. You have to release confidentiality. So if the federal stance changes again you will be getting raided by the DEA if you are at 99+ plants.

What I have a problem with is being limited in how much business I can do and who I can do business with. What am I supposed to do with extra meds? If dispensaries can trade between each other why cant caregivers? Or why cant caregivers sell extra meds to dispensaries or other legal patients?
I could understand if they took the stance of...
Look we dont want over X ammount of plants in a residntial grow once you get to that level you need to look into getting a commercial building. That's not how it is though.. You have to be a "center". There is no building your business from the ground up. You either have 50-100k or you don't. Even if I did have it I wouldn't fill out that application until the federal government reschedules the classification of cannibis. Good luck to those who did.

Then I come to one of the places I get to vent my frustrations and see garbage like this.

Maybe you meant to say 'noncompliant growers". But if you are going to call out one of the mods for not proof reading and grammical errors I would assume you're checking yours. So to me it was you trying to mislead people and now trying to spin it.
I absolutely meant non-compliant growers.

Since you are registered as a caregiver, that's the term I use when referring to legal, registered caregiver grows. However, I think it's an important difference in making grammar errors or using words that are easily interchangable, depending on the audience.

If you'd like me to refer to you as a grower, I'm totally okay with that. However, since your registered with the state as a 'caregiver', I'm more likely to use that when referring to you. I see how you are insulted by that, I'll try to choose my words better.

I guess when I hear 'grower' after 1284, I think of that term as a non registered, non compliant caregiver. The term grower, to me, brings with it the underground, illegal scene. That's just me and my background and life experience. I have never been around a large scale grow, even a compliant before but maybe not compliant now grows. I'm not trying to make anyone mad or piss anyone off. I appreciate posts from people who are also willing to engage in discussions. I'll do my best to refer to you and your friends as growers. I'm simply explaining my position.

I also think it's relevant to point out that I was just playing devil's advocate, so there isn't anything to spin or anything like that. I think.
