Nobody is selling at cost, I get it, wont suck any less if you're the one that gets popped, like you say, a little more at stake. I'm not all that worried, just don’t like it.
The bag of mmj is $5, and the Big Mac I picked up for you will be $300.
"SIGNIFICANT RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANAGING THE WELL-BEING OF A PATIENT";.
That is the angle they are working on. Cant sell above cost, and if all you do is grow and sell you’re illegal. A greedy bunch of dispensary owners tries to monopolize their position, but it was unfounded fear driving the politicians, fear that someone would have the ability to smoke mmj legally that shouldn’t, fear mongering fueled by greed, lawmakers were putty in the hands of greedy business. They had to fix the "crisis" LOL. That’s a bit ironic as a lot of people believe it was greed inspired fear mongering that made weed illegal to begin with.
Providing mmj is a significant responsibility in managing the well-being of a patient. Why does a grower have to be anything more? You also have to be a cook, nurse, driver, yoga instructer, whatever. That’s bs, sell "above cost" and you’re a dealer, unless you’re a Center, then its okay. More bs. Bad for patients, bad for growers, good for dispensaries, I can guess where it came from.
If you do wind up defending yourself its going to come down to what other services you provided, thanks to Clendenin ruling and now reinforced by 1284, not your actual expenses or what your labor value is. Because you are just a dealer unless you sell at cost or open a Center, that’s how I read it.
