Since you think these type of people are 1 in 1000, it is very clear to me why your posts are what they are, and where you are coming from.
Look at it from a different perspective.

While 1 in 1000 of you caregivers might be in it for 'the cause', 99% of the income you caregivers enjoy, comes from selling to potheads and high schoolers. Your income comes from people who smoke recreationally, not patients who need this to medicate. So in my opinion, your subculture should welcome people who are new in the industry.

Are you saying that 'patients in need of free meds' constitutes more than 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 smokers? Seriously? In your opinion, what percentage of the people who have applied (100,000ish) have done so and are your customers, patients who 'need' this medicine to survive.

I guess I'm still used to seeing it as a medicine. My entire life it's been a drug, now it's a medicine. This is just my unique experience. I don't have hippy parents or family members with cancer, so I don't have a lot of experience in that area, it seems like you do. I'm not sure why you are judging.

SprngsCaregiver:
When you state that you are in compliance, are you talking about A20 or 1284/109? It seems like you are saying that you don't recognize this new legislation.

edit:
blackhash, I made a thread about remaining compliant post 1284, maybe this discussion would fit better there, I don't know.

As I understand the legislation, there can be only one caregiver per residence. Caregivers can't come together for the purposes of cultivation, so I see the plant count maximum being 5 patients (30 plants) plus 5 plants for each patient in the house. The only way I see that number going up is if there is a husband/wife who are both caregivers. They came together for marriage not cultivation right? So they could each have 5 patients?

Also, I have a slight problem with you seemingly recommending that people be non-compliant. That's a strange position to take with everything you could lose. Are you growers really just ignoring the law?
