Once you have this cluster fuck oxymoron lingo removed... because a care-provider lingo does not fit in the mmj world at all.

We had this changed in Wa. State because it is what it is and NOTHING MORE. YOU ARE A PROVIDER OF MEDICINE ONLY, period !!! When you look at how the COURTS interpret caregiver vs. provider.. It becomes crystal clear...one can be a care-provider and a mmj provider all in one... but, you need 1 license from the state health dept., and one from the signing authorizing practitioner in the normal course of their business... NONE OF THE HYPER-TECHNICAL LINGO IS PRESENT. voila from a legal standing-point.

Not that any leo agree but, it sure shut the bleeding off....
I actually agree 100% with this. But the state seems to be leaving the "Caregiver" tag there since it's in the constitution, and trying to force a combination of the bold text above on those of us who are only asked to be MMJ "Providers"

I've voiced my concerns to my patients, and they all agree that I do play a significant roll in there well being by providing top quality meds that are well within their means to afford! Sent one home with his max 2 oz (dry and cured) for helping trim a single plant!!!! :hippy:

The Money my patients save alone improves their lives, plus every one of them has claimed a drop in consumption from dispensary meds due to the fact that the effect is there in 1-2 hits and it lasts 2x as long, instead of smoking a whole bowl to be good for an hour.

Smoking less (even if it is MMJ) = good for your health! :hippy:


None the less, the lawmakers don't seem to recognize that!



I should probably put most of that into one of my shitty E-mails..... that might have been my best wording so far! :i feel stupid:
