i've been following the movement in MI with interest. the law is vague about many things... like what a patient and caregiver do, if they run out of meds while in the middle of a grow. i understand the law states that a caregiver cannot be prosecuted for buying and supplying meds 2 the patient, but who will the caregiver buy it from?
they should have a system where caregivers can work with other caregivers in making sure quality meds dont ever run out 4 their patients. its the caregivers who are working 1 on 1 with patients and would know their patients needs better than any1 running a dispensary. we should figure out a way of organizing caregivers so they can lobby 4 sensible legislation where common sense prevails and ultimately makes it easier 2 get good meds 2 needy patients. it would be ideal,if the letter of the law stated, a caregiver can sell another caregiver meds when 1 caregiver cannot provide or doesnt have meds ready.
i have property in sw MI near dowagiac and was thinking of putting it 2 good use, but i'm hesitant because there is no framework 4 a caregiver 2 be compensated 4 any surplus meds that he produces. i might be mistaken, but correct me if i'm wrong. is the caregiver supposed 2 word his contract a certain way... where he somehow gets paid per week with the understanding that he will provide the patient with X amount of meds each week?
It just seems like the asshole lawmakers are intentionally complicating things so decent ppl cant make a living. and dont even get me started on how they expect patients 2 grow their own meds when there isnt any mention of a legal way 4 selling or distributing seeds and clones 2 patients. i understand that patients need quality meds at a fair price especially in a state as hard hit by the economic crisis as MI, but caregivers hav 2 get together and get more legislation passed 2 protect their investments of time and money 2 provide these meds. very curious how caregivers in MI feel about all this. -Keepz
