Thanks TK.

Anyway to expand on this thought in my Zoning Laws thread?

Anything you can think of to do ~right now~ for a caregiver that wants to play in an commercial space before these ridiculous zoning regs come down?



Just curious if they are going to bust Suzy Homemaker because she has too many tomato and pepper plants in her backyard garden and doesn't have a 'plant husbandry permit'.

Knuckleheads. The whole lot of them.

I don't understand how a caregiver could afford a commercial space for 5 patients unless they each buy a lb per month...

As towns and counties further increase zoning/land use restrictions on MMC
s and caregivers, exemptions will come in to play.

I've rented small commercial space before (though not for growing) for just a couple hundred. The space wasn't much larger than a 2-car garage. So I think it's doable.

It's not the rent, it's the requirements for building permits and the need to submit drawings stamped by engineers and architects.

I know that in the city of Boulder, temporary structures and electric services won't be allowed too much longer, so unless the space you rent requires no modifications as far as electric, structure or ventilation it will not be possible to use it without pulling permits. I don't think too many spaces would work for a grower without at least some modifications that would require building permits.

OK - if you do not like the law, or proposed law, the solution is simple. Make a new law. This simple act is part of almost all governments - save dictatorships.

How do you do this you ask??? 2 ways. 1 - find a 'champion' on the governing board of the municiplatly of where you are tryin' to make the change. 2 - draft an ordinance - introduce it to the muncipality via the approriate methods and then have the citizens vote on it.

Method 1 is easier.

Any questions?

So.... if I did not like the regulations that, say a Town Council passed - I would have 30 days from the passage of said resolution to get 5% of the registered voters in that municipality to force said resolution to a vote of the citizens, or, I could draft a new regulation/"resolution"/initiative and have the citizens vote on that....

TK is right- we can charge. Are they going to regulate the amounts we can charge?

CEO's of non-profit hospitals are compensated well all the time, like $700,000 a year. It is to remain competitive in the market. If a CEO from a non-profit will make more at a for-profit hospital he will leave, so the non-profit has to pay him a competitive salary to stay with them. The same idea can be applied to caregivership. If it wasn't compensating you fairly in accordance with the market, you wouldn't do it. Whatever dispensary owners pay or are making is what you should pay yourself. It's when you go above that number is when you run into trouble. the stae doesn't want caregivers undercutting the MMC's like crazy or the state will loose revenue and come down on you. The same goes for the CEO, they can't receive $1mil as it's too much compensation for their position in the market.

You are entitled to a "fair compensation" in other words, and a fat mattress :banana1sv6:

Helicopters got me on the radar, I really think they thought my plant count was off the charts because from the air my outdoor setup looked friggin killer, like there could have been 100 plants out there but alas there were only 29 in the ground.

They literally came in while we were trimmin poundage, nothing at all we could do about that, but it was all good and I am one tap dancing mofo, Gregory Hines biatches!!! lol
