"Kid, I keep saying this, but I guess I'll just have to keep saying it--no county is currently compelled to even allow collectives or co-ops, let alone dispensaries. They're outright banned in my county.

seamaiden i read what u said just cuz u keep saying this doesn't mean it makes sense. if they are banning them everywhere then guess what, all the med shit will stay the same. because no one will be able to open a recreational outlet. so the price wont be able to drop. and if u have to put a 50 dollar tax on everything anyway the med stuff will end up being cheaper.
and if they banned a dispensary before this law passed what does that have to do with prop 19? seems even if the law don't pass they can ban whatever they want.
Here's what I'm saying (and you're right, it doesn't make sense that we have this law in effect statewide, but we can't have any dispensaries);
even with Proposition 215 being in effect for 14 years, we are not afforded all rights or protections of this law because many jurisdictions choose to interpret and enforce the current law only as they see fit.
For instance, I just started a thread on what constitutes a mature plant. My local LE told me that the moment I know the sex of a plant, it is considered mature. That would make any and all cuttings and clones, according to their definition, mature. And they agreed with that! That means that, according to them, my tray-ful of 4" babies are as mature as an 8' Queen, full of ripe buds.
Therefore, the *only* way to get anything resembling a determination on how the law should be interpreted is through 'case law', which means it went to court. $10K is a common number to get a decent attorney on retainer, and even if you
do begin the PD route, you may very well need to drop that dough on the good lawyer. That doesn't begin to address what someone like myself stands to lose--my home, all vehicles and valuables, cash, anything the court may decide I should be relieved of, or anything that I may need to relieve myself of in order to pay for my own defense.
Does that make *any* sense to you at all? If you agree, I have to say me, either.
Proposition 19 is even worse in that regard.

Read this thread, please. If you're from California and are a 215 patient who's had contact with LLE regarding this particular subject, I would
love to hear what your LLE said. I am flummoxed by mine right now and the more I think about it, the flummoxeder I get.
