Mark,

You know this thread is ostensibly about patients rights? If you want to complain about high state license fees, falling revenue, there are appropriate places to do so. Like a bunch of other commercial growers, you seem to consider anything that hurts your profits a violation of "patients rights."

Here's what I would consider a violation of my rights. You'll note that the profitability of your business has nothing to do with any of them:

-discrimination based on age, race, religion or national origin
-dissemination of private medical or financial data without permission (HPAA)
-endangerment of my life or health by unsafe or contaminated services and products
-dishonest or misleading advertising or labeling
-lack of redress for contaminated or unsatisfactory product

More or less, I think patients should enjoy the same protections at dispensaries as they do at other similar businesses.
