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.
You address me by name Mark and thats cool because I dont want to hide, although I have no clue who you are but the fact that you seem to throw in a jab at me whenever you can. I have been about patient rights long before I had a dispensary long before I was forced out by the government and still stood up for them as a private citizen and patient at the judiciary committee last Thursday, did you testify pop? I would really like to hear your concerns in person with you taking the time to address the committees in person, instead of from behind I keyboard. Also in my post I did not say a thing about fees that was the other guy, but never miss a chance to go after me, right!
I think it is well documented that I have been for the patients and caregivers from the beginning, name one other dispensary owner that paid out over a million dollars to it's local towns folks for growing bud (if you want testing results we have them, from your buds at full spectrum) come up and look, along with the hundreds of thousands in sales tax revenue we collected for the State and town.
Not to mention I have a stake in this as a Patient who has metal and 8 screws in his neck from a broken neck and 3 herniated disks from degenerative disc disease. So dont judge a persons pain based on appearance. I it all ties in my friend they screw the centers and took their rights, now they are screwing over those who are caregivers, you don't think their coming after the patients rights next?

Boy that certainly a laundry list of concerns you have 4, all based on what you want. In 10,000 years no one has gotten sick from Cannabis except when Nixon was spraying poison on it in the early 70's knowing it was going to be consumed in the US, and that was our President poisoning his own people. I would worry more about the your buddies in the Government then pot growers.:jointsmile:
