Soon we will catch up with demand. Then we'll be able to sell to patients regardless of their MMC designation status.

Hmmmm.... Hadn't really considered providing a meeting place for caregivers to deliver to their patients. Sounds like a good way to help out, but I wonder how the DOR will be with it regarding moving inventory in and out of the MMC ? I may have to ponder that one. I think there may be some other legal exposures to consider there as well.

I understand patients can buy from any center, but won't y'all have the same periodic supply/demand problem? For example, if your license says 300 patients who have designated your center as their provider, and you have, say, 1000 total customers, won't there always be a potential supply deficit? And that is assuming no problems with the grow. Also, since other centers will no doubt be in the same boat, no one will have anything extra to offer within that 30% range to make up the shortfall. So, unless centers decide to pay the larger license fees to have more grow potential, it seems that, at least for the next year, there will be a shortfall....to be made up...where? How long will these patients wait for their meds if the centers are temporarily out? Where will they go? It looks like centers will probably not suggest caregivers (former vendors) since that may not be in their best interests, plus it may be that most patients prefer to buy from centers than from caregivers?

I imagine that when it comes to audit time, the inspectors will check very closely to see that what you grow and what you sell matches. Even if your patients don't use their allotted 2 oz., the extra may not cover all your other customer needs, and again a shortage problem. That's my guess: there will be a shortage at most centers this next year. And, if so, that may translate into higher prices?
