In RI, we GIFT clones to each other, no charging. We are a bit unique in this way. If u know someone CHARGING, please set them straight. RI is a pay it forward, watch ur neighbors back kinda place for compassionate horticulturists.
The centers (Slater and Greenleaf, Summit is out) will be open very soon. Licenses were filed for Jan 1 and won't be long in issuing. There will be a whole new set of by-laws coming out regarding c/g's selling to the dispensaries, travel and testing amounts for said commercial growers, etc, stay tuned.
Big props to the OP for this thread, these are common facts among many of us but for the majority, these few KEY points are "between the lines". It's still a bit confusing and much of it is "non-sensicle",lol.....but, it is what it is. Thanks again to the OP, way to look out for ur neighbors.
If anyone is interested, I run a grow group on facebook. We currently have 63 RI growers in the group including some staff from slater. Retailers like the folks from 3 Guys Hydro and Growin Crazy and other contacts like Jamie from Know your grow. This is our mission statement below, if you are interested, hit me up, I'm RICH Budz (Rhode Islanders for compassionate horticulture)
RICH mission statement-
"This is a private group I have formed. The group is designed to function like a union. We are all growers with the same concerns, dilemma's and roadblocks. By working together, we can save each other in emergencies, share resources, share genetics, save money, share ideas and hopefully,...do it better, safer.
Now this group has rules so if you aren't interested, no hard feelings, just ;let me know and I'll gladly remove you.
1. Pay it forward wherever you can.
2. Keep an eye on the board and assist in any "Union Alert" emergencies that you think you can help with, i.e., a grower blows a light and you have an extra 600 you arent using. Loan it for a week till his replacement comes and save his cycle. Karma says, this will all come back to you.
3. Believe in Karma. We're all adults here, figure it out. Do the right thing.
4. Participate/share. This includes the sharing of genetics, knowledge, time if you have it, supplies if a guy in ur town needs a few tablespoons of something you have a bottle of. Participation includes on the board.
5. Members need to be willing to help grow some strains that we will provide. Your efforts will be directly related to your patients' infliction. You would be doing trait isolation as part of a group effort to develop a purely medical line up.
6. BE nice,lol. Sounds simple but some folks aren't capable and that's ok, but not if u want to be a part of the group
Thanks for participating everyone!!"
Christ, I spend an hour formatting this in HTML, and find out the board won't use it...
I've been reading the actual mmj laws in Rhode Island, and thought I'd compile some interesting things that I hadn't realized. Disclaimer, I am not a lawyer. Consult one if you have questions...
* Plants must be stored in an indoor facility.(1)
* "No school, employer or landlord may refuse to enroll, employ or lease, or otherwise penalize a person solely for his or her status as a cardholder."(2). That's a direct quote. What it leaves unanswered is if you can be discriminated against because of growing/using. It only protects you from a stigma of *having* a card.
* Rhode Island treats other states' registry cards as having the same power as an RI card.(3)
* Marijuana can change hands free of charge among patients and/or caregivers, even if they aren't "connected by registration" (presumably as a registered caregiver) -- *provided no consideration is paid for it.* So you could give away a clone, I presume, but not sell it. It *doesn't* address if a caregiver can get compensation for providing a clone to a patient with whom he is registered... (4)
* Employers are not required to accomodate the medical use of marijuana in the workplace.(5)
* Marijuana is defined to include "the resin extracted from any part of the plant, and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of the plant, its sedds or resin"(6) I would take this to mean edibles, hash and oil were ok (but IANAL).
* A caregiver/compassion center can deliver a maximum of 2.5 ounces to a single patient in a 15 day period. (7)
