Please tell me if I am wrong, because I'm not sure, and you most definitely have experience with this.

Pre 1284, if I was a large scale caregiver, I could simply pay a company for a block of patients.

As a patient, you can find places that will pay the state fees and such on your behalf, but you have to sign a contract with them, that you are designating them as your sole caregiver for a one year period.

These places will then sell your rights to someone like me, for $350 per patient. So I could buy a hundred patients whom I've never met, and immediately start growing for a hundred patients day one.

I have a problem with places such as this selling patient 'rights'. It screams of maximizing profits while screwing the state. Again, I don't think many large scale caregivers paid the state any tax on that revenue generated.

After 1284, these large scale caregivers are now illegal (like meth labs!). I think that's why there is so much anti-MMC vitriol here, because most of the audience here are the types of people likely to be affected by plant limits. I would assume you all are pissed that MMC's don't have a patient cap.

Or something. I could be totally wrong on everything I've posted, but this is how I understand things.
