What's the point of going to a dispensary?

[killerweed420]

Yep there are people that need that much to control the pain or the seizures. We're not all the same which is why there are so many different prescription drugs out there.

[eljugo]

damn.. I can't even fathom what an ounce a day vaped would do to me.

You build up tolerance after a while just like you do with prescriptions.

I could also go through and ounce of prime meds in a day.. the headaches from a gun shot wound to the head are horrible.. just wish i had enough meds that i could smoke an ounce a day, well soon i will!

on the subject of dispensaries from what i take it they can only provide for one person at a time, and as long as its just you and the bud tender in that room, your his patient for only as long as your in that room. dispensaries are a really great idea, I just don't like what most of them charge for there meds.. I mean 60 for 3 grams of space queen!! who am i paul allen?

Yep thats the answer. Get into a position where you can grow your own and start producing whatever it takes to control your ailment. And remember there is nothing illegal about growing over the 15 plant limit. You just have to be careful ,keep your mouth shut and try to build a medical history that will prove that you need more than the government guidelines.

Legal or Illegal, they will have to pry my pipe out of my cold dead fingers!!! :rasta:

You can't take writings from other websites that don't quite the law.
RCW 69.51A.080
Adoption of rules by the department of health â?? Sixty-day supply for qualifying patients.


(1) By July 1, 2008, the department of health shall adopt rules defining the quantity of marijuana that could reasonably be presumed to be a sixty-day supply for qualifying patients; this presumption may be overcome with evidence of a qualifying patient's necessary medical use.

(2) As used in this chapter, "sixty-day supply" means that amount of marijuana that qualifying patients would reasonably be expected to need over a period of sixty days for their personal medical use. During the rule-making process, the department shall make a good faith effort to include all stakeholders identified in the rule-making analysis as being impacted by the rule.

(3) The department of health shall gather information from medical and scientific literature, consulting with experts and the public, and reviewing the best practices of other states regarding access to an adequate, safe, consistent, and secure source, including alternative distribution systems, of medical marijuana for qualifying patients. The department shall report its findings to the legislature by July 1, 2008.

Its still in the law though changed a little from the original intiative. But you can still have over 15 plants but you better have ample medical proof that you require more.

According to the DoH there is no substantive difference between a doctor recommending more and "evidence of necessary medical use", but it seems most doctors are not willing to write more specifically, in the fear that it will constitute a prescription of some kind.


So good luck with demonstrating you need more. I think it could be done if you were documenting your canopy size relative to 60 day yield, and because of your medical condition you could not maintain the needed canopy size with only 15 plants. In that case it should be easy to argue, since necessary medical use is defined as the growing itself. The easiest way to see this would probably be a patient in a wheel chair who uses SOG with 30-40 plants to yield the same as a patient who can lift a 20 lbs large plant in a big pot but use only 5 flowering plants or less.

But again, good luck in demonstrating it in court and ever recovering your loss from the raid and arrest/charge. Seems like the path of least resistance is to find someone who could grow for you within the presumptive limit.

Its doable, it just takes creative gardening and larger plants in a more expensive room.

[killerweed420]

I would agree that your argument is probably the best way to do it. Just say you can't produce enough from 15 plants to meet the 24 ounce limit. A good medical history would still provide some added benefit.
Having sit on a couple juries it seems like the general public looks at these cases like the defendant should absolutely prove in the courtroom that they have a terminal disease or are obviously in extreme pain. A lot of the old farts that get on these juries already enter the courtroom with there minds made up.
During jury deliberations its easy to see which ones had already made up there minds.

...........its easy to see which ones had already made up there minds.

Not only jurors, but politicians even against all scientific evidence. Really shows personal prejudice, and not logical sound reasoning. More like politicians believing in the boogie man and marijuana is going to ruin the world. Chicken Little's all and the sky isn't going to fall.
