Wonder how I missed that ? Oh yeah, I never have time to watch TV anymore :worried
Now this thread is offically derailed...
:) best derailing of the year!!!
Regulations do suck. BUT cannabis has been completely criminal for 70 + years because it was consider the devils weed. Then in 2010 the CO.gov choose to deal w/the large increases of very new MMJ business via heavy regulation. This heavy regulation has benefited many because they do not have the constant fear of the Feds coming and taking their business, like, for instance, what happened so often in CA from 96-2009. Or, what is currently happening in BC to "CG" level growers.What we actually have here, is 99 pages of "putting things back the way they were before anything was medical". As was said earlier in the thread, we had a better model before. Everything was easier, and everyone was happier. Of course, we should have seen it coming. After all, when the government gets involved in anything, things always get harder, and people always get screwed.
How much of a hit do you think the Dispensaries are going to take the moment they start taking pictures of their customers with every purchase. How many patients are going to tolerate getting thumb printed, or buy a an eighth of ditch weed for $50 that they know has an RFID tracking chip in it. Especially when on the street, there's always medicine, and never paper-work. With the street supply now being fortified by skillful and passionate caregivers who simply can't bring themselves to set their left over 3lb's of fire ablaze, the quality on the street often exceeds (by a wide freakin' margin too) that found on the "top shelf" of your local dispensary.
Union, to me, is the wrong word and concept. A professional association would be better in my opinion. Something that is purely voluntary, but offers the customer some 'guarantee' of standards and practices.WTF good would a union do?
No offense, but historically speaking, they deprive industry of innovation, squash free markets and cripple business decisions by lawsuits and strikes.
Not sure, trying to understand how any formation of growers could be considered illegal, that would be tromping all over the basic tenets of the 1st Amendment as far as I can see.Until growers come out from the shadows, forming a union would be impossible.
Wouldn't any formation or collective of growers still be illegal federally?
I see how many growers constantly complain about legislation or whatever ills they see, but I still fail to see a large number of caregivers coming together. That tells me there is a large amount of non-compliant growers. Just my two cents.

Somewhat agreed, I think things could be teased apart. The biggest hurdle I would foresee for such an association would be the reading comprehension of all members. Not to crack on my stoner-brethren, but as a group the general reading comprehension level I see on pot sites is about on par with that which I see on motorcycle sites, especially those dedicated to cruisers (my own preferred ride). So... I guess that adds up to crackin' on us. But the point is that, as a group, I often feel that "we" are not on the same page and I feel that may be because people are reading the same words but getting something very different out of them.I agree with 'association'. Not sure I would want to spearhead that one though...
:)
Nor could I imagine the political crap that would go on amongst the members. Indoor/Outdoor, CashCroppers/Medical, Organic/Inorganic, Soil/Hydro, etc.
While I don't think the formation of such a group could be deemed illegal (hell, NAMBLA exists, as well as other perverse groups), the member list would be quite a goldmine.

I do see a good amount of CG's at some events, but many more need to get involved.
Maybe we should start another thread on this subject... I am more than willing to share my knowledge in agitation/advocacy.
IMO, CG's are facing 2 challenges right now.
1. Municipalities will try to enact zoning laws that are restrictive for CG's (See FOCO, or DEN). These restrictions can be fought by anyone effected if they are on the ball on the matter (forcing the zoning decision to a vote/ this requires gathering 5% of registered voters signatures)
2. And what will be the definition of what "exceptional circumstances" means for CG's. This matter, if handled, and won, can return CG's to pre 1284 levels, in areas where mmj MMC have been banned. And that sounds to me like something worth fighting for.
I ride too...
