Are private sales still legal?

[blackhash]

Bags have always been sold in Colorado. How many people do you know who have been busted for such (private) sales? Not many. I sure don't know anyone and I know a bunch of folks who have been doing this for 20 years or more...LONG before the wannabeees and attorneys took this State over last Summer.

So yeah...it's illegal to sell bags to other folks...JUST AS IT ALWAYS WAS.

Will you get caught? I dunno. HAVE you got caught yet? Obviously not.

folks are still advertising/selling openly on craigslist to other patients so i think most folks behind the scenes are WAYYY down on the list when it comes to these sales and tracking/prosecuting such sales. Just like the pre-legal days...you simply have to be an idiot to be caught selling bags.

carry on!

Can a caregiver still sell to a patient that they are not a caregiver for? Can a caregiver still sell to a dispensary? Sorry if this issue has been beaten to death. Rating: 5

No hate. Nothing but love here bro :hippy:

Sorry 420. I thought you were basing the remarks " patient to patient sells are legal" and "any caregiver can sell to any patient" on 1284. I didnt realize you were thinking of A20.

This is a touchy subject that is going to have to be played out in a courtroom unfortunately. Peace to all.

My apologies as well.

This entire site is a 'touchy subject'. With respect, the mods/rulemakers here have to have the same policies in place for both 'legal' and 'non-legal' states, so they have to enforce rules that may seem 'lame' to those of us who are in legal states.

Psycho4bud is the only moderator that I've seen who is active in the colorado forum. Much respect to him/her, they've got a ton of work to do keeping the trolls away and otherwise keeping the peace and taking out the trash. That person is doing a great job.

With that said, this is easily the weirdest forum I've ever seen with regards to rules and enforcement. However, it's important to note that there are potentially liability issues and a ton of other problems associated with this green industry/this site, so it's completely understandable that there are going to be bumps moving forward. I just hope everyone can find some sort of middle ground. The hate from those who remain underground or non-compliant is astounding to me.

That's why I questioned you earlier, but obviously it was a slight misunderstanding. It's nice when grown-ups can have a civil discussion, even if we don't agree. Much respect.

I'll be trolling for harvest/cure info today, I'm taking down my first harvest of one plant tomorrow. It's an awesome plant for my first time, but I'm not bragging. I'm still nervous like a school-girl though because I've never done this before. Seems that the biggest difference between homegrown and MMC stuff is genetics, nutrients, and curing. I've got the first two, but I have definite concerns on curing since it seems so easy to fuck it up. I'm excited to smoke a bowl from a plant that I grew. I'm sure that sounds stupid to the old schoolers, but they were here once too. It's difficult to find a teacher/mentor in this industry.

I started a thread on curing a few days ago. Copobo responded with a link that was full of great info. Check it out. The low humidity in CO will dry your buds too fast if you just hang them upside down in a room and come back in a week. It will smell like hay. Good luck. Post some pics. :thumbsup:

I'm not going to post pictures here, there is far too many haters. I don't care to defend myself or anything else. I feel like posting pics would be close to bragging, I don't want that. The only thing I'm going to brag about is that I haven't killed my plant yet. I am more proud than I can possibly explain. The kids analogy is really accurate I think.

Real life got in the way of harvest, so I'm taking down tomorrow. Another day of flushing won't hurt, and I'm not seeing many ambers, still mostly cloudy.

I'm going to post a question for y'all in that thread since it's more on topic there. I can read threads and shit all I want, but at the end of the day, being a new grower and being able to ask questions is really valuable. But it's totally understandable that experienced growers see the same questions all the time. I just wish there were more avenues more people who are seeking knowledge/mentors.

MMC's don't even have time to let their growers 'consult' on a private basis. You would be astounded at the price I would pay to pick someone's brain who has experience.

Don't get so uptight about drying/curing, its not that difficult, the difficult part is over. I've messed up a lot of things in a grow over the years but drying/curing wasnt one of them. There are really only two ways to screw it up, drying to fast, and storing the buds to long wet (mold). There are many ways to do it but I do all my trimming at harvest, set the buds on a drying rack (a window screen works as well), depending on the density of the buds in 2 - 3 days the outer part of the buds will feel dry. I then put them in jars for half a day to let the moisture from the stem and inside part of the bud to come out to the outer parts, the buds will feel wet again. I then put the buds in a paper sack to get a slower dry, when the outer parts feel dry again then I put them back in jars. After being back in the jars for half a day they will feel slightly moist again, at that point I take the lids off the jars and leave them off for a few hours (until they feel dry, but not bone dry). After that I take the lids off the jars and air them out a couple of times a day. The whole process takes about a week and is smokeable at that point but the longer they are in the jars curing the better the smell and taste will be. Ideally at least a month, although personally I usually cant keep my stuff around long enough for that.

It is actually very straight forward. Caregivers can not profit, period end of story. That means you can cover your expenses, and nothing else.

There's a difference between profiting and being compensated. Caregivers can be compensated for their time & labor - that's not profiting.

I would count that as an expense, however a Judge may not.
