I get that some people can't grow for themselves and that is what the concept of a co-op is and how this was supposed to work. A co-op in the true sense only charges what real expense are, that doesn't include someone who chooses to grow indoors and spend a small fortune on a grow room has the right to charge $3,000 a lb. regardless of how they put a value on their time. Reasonable expenses for reasonable use of electricity etc. is one thing but charging people $50 an 8th because you think your process is worth of that price is absurd and absolutely not what these laws intended. If your neighbor agrees to grow inside for you and spends $500 on lighting and another $500 on various expenses and say $100 a month in electricty then thats money to be recovered but not at a profit. Legally growers aren't supposed to make a profit at all.

I'll probably get bashed for this because I sat on the Prop. 215 fence for a long time, I would agree with a lot of people that more people don't need it medically then do and compassionate use laws are more of a grass roots effort to eventually do away with prohibition. The way it's played out though has probably set that back a number of years. Look, I sat in the Dr. office a few months ago with a stack of medical documents to verify my claim for need, let me tell you most of the other people sitting in that office had NOTHING with them.

I don't believe lack of access is what drove this, I mean most people who needed this medically were already probably getting it. This is a very slippery slope and I hope people are smart and don't think they can challenge the Fed's. Easier to walk away now rather then face what will become a very expensive fight that will last years.

California has decriminilized posession of under an oz, that is a good start and should keep a lot of people out of jail and from fear of prosecution.
