My thought was that the feds are really only going after operations not abiding by the spirit of the laws. Are dispensaries required to be non-profit in CA? Google search comes up with some news items, but not the magnitude that would really concern me.

First link from CA seemed like a BS raid, but not enough info, 2nd in CA the owner was accused of meth and coke distribution as well, the 3rd in MI indicated resales taking place on the premises and concern about amounts considering the law restricts dispensaries to 12 plants (how much business can you do with only 12 plants at a time?) I just saw another in CO that claimed to be a raid, when it seemed like only a search, nothing taken. A number of results I saw were from 2009.

Doesn't look to be as big an issue. I know CA has tons of growers and dispensaries compared to the measely 125 AZ will have and I can't imagine the DEA going harder on AZ than CA, especially if it's not as loosely regulated as it is in CA.

Here's my prediction. Sen. Herb Kohl has said that he plans to put a "hold" on her, which would delay her confirmation over a prescription issue. She gets delayed, Obama tells her to go easy on medical MJ because he's getting flak for seeming to flip-flop his stance if she doesn't. In return, Obama nominates her again. She agrees to both Kohl and Obama so she can get her shiny new title and pay raise, everyone's happy.

Either way, guess I'll be a test case. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance.
zcwilkins Reviewed by zcwilkins on . Growing in Arizona?? Important to know It is important to read and know the new Arizona MM Law. People interested in growing. The rules are you must be 25 miles from a dispensary to grow for yourself. The plan is to have these dispensary's equally spread across the state. That will eliminate 99% of people growing their own. The good news is these rules are not in stone yet. The ADHS is doing the initial informal draft of rules 12-17-10 They are asking for public comment on these rules 12-17 to 1-7-11 If you are interested to Rating: 5
