Curiosity poll

Agree, once I got my redcard I was on the list too. It took me quite awhile to make that decision to get on the list and truthfully I only did it to keep my name out of the local paper for my family's sake should I run up against the law, at least I felt that with the confidientality of the registry that I was afforded some degree of protection. I have since had second thoughts. Regardless, that is not my reason for asking the question to begin with. It is all about the erosion of our ( yes ALL of OUR ) rights.

When I go to my Dr. and it is suggested that I try a medication that may help my condition and that happens to be a controlled substance and I go to the pharmacy to obtain the prescription, I am not treated like a criminal to get the medication. Period. There may be cameras, but they are for the security of the pharmacy in case of robbery etc..., not to capture my transaction in case I should decide to go out and sell my prescription. They don't give a rats ass about me, it is for their protection to identify someone that takes from them. Do you think big pharma would stand by and let their customers be treated like criminals for buying their products. Hell no they would not, nor would the liquor industry stand for similar regulations. They would flobby the hell out of the government to protect the PRIVACY of their customers. But the MMC's seem to be willing to throw away whatever of their patients rights so they can continue to operate and make money. I don't have a problem with them or anyone else making money, that is the name of the game, just don't trample on the rights of your customers to do it! If it is this way for MMJ then let's make it this way for any product that you must have a prescription for or be a certain age to obtain. I wonder if the elected officials would be so happy to have their transactions videotaped, OH WAIT did we not just see how one of them acted when he was on camera negotiating with a MMC owner, then tore up his amendment when he was caught on VIDEO. Guess they would not care too much for their privacy to be stripped away either, and that happenned in a public forum. It is all about your rights being taken away from you so that others may profit.

You are 100% on point with the above. Thank you.:thumbsup:

just wait till the patient collectives start forming. the MMC model will fail with all the regs and fees, except for good old Josh and his kind.

It is already failing.

Josh at budding health is already selling $175 ounces!!! His ad is westword last week said he had 50 pounds to get rid of at deep discounts. Wholesale has dropped below 2k and in some areas 1500.

It is only a matter of time before MMCs start dropping like flies.

Relief and SoCo are some of the better ones; I just hope they can weather the storm.

I get that people may be concerned about information getting leaked to their insurance company or employer, but I can't help but laugh at people who think the "DEA dog" will come after them for their MMJ purchases. I'm sorry if that comes off as insensitive, I just don't understand it.

The failure of MMCs to protect patients? What about the failure of caregivers to protect patients? Or the failure of patients to protect themselves?

They hear from us all day, every day.

Patients and caregivers?

Not so much.

You know why that is? Because caregivers don't want their door busted in at 5 oclock in the morning and their house destroyed by some drug swat team because they happened to be the voice of caregivers in general. Caregivers are an easy target by cops and criminals as we have witnessed many times.

Something tells me you're a grower. From the patient's perspective $175 marijuana looks like anything but a failure. Frankly, to me, it looks like the miracle I've been waiting for my entire life.

Wow the profit margin dropped out of the market value..

Now put it under the state pharmacies regime like regular meds are..

When they do this, it become so obvious an HERB can't be regulated under those "specific" guidelines ..Hence, Herbs are not of the type of substances a pharmacy sells nor regulates.

What is all this regulation about then ?? If the chief LEO of the state doesn't enforce HERBS..:wtf: And I am the crazy one..?

Nope. Not worth the hassle. It will only go lower. I feel bad for the people that are about to lose their asses.

Sorry. I assumed you were a grower because you own a $1500 trimmer. My bad.

thank you, that covers it nicely.

I would not be surprised at all at a patient with arthritis or nerve damage kicking an investment to make trimming easier.
