Hey guys I am a bit behind getting the petition together, I am very sorry, been busy with work, been under the weather, and had some problems in my flower room.
Thanks to SuntheNovice for most of this :bong-hits:
looks like it is the 15 of us currently,
Here are some points from some of the members of the various boards, I want to finish the rough draft today, and mail out the petition either starting this evening, or tom.
If anyone has time to add to, spell check, or anything else I would greatly appreciate it, grammatical English is one of my weakest points.
I think the DOH should increase how much an idividual with a personal production license can produce, from 6 ounce to a pound, if someone grows outdoors they would only legally be able to grow 6 ounce to last them the whole year.
I think giving the secretary of DOH sole discretion to determine the number of medical cannabis producer licenses that will be issued and which nonprofits will be licensed, with no right to appeal his decision, is a terrible idea and is setting up a dictatorial system.
I believe an individual whose initial application into the medical cannabis program, who has been denied should be entitled to an adjudicatory hearing to contest the denial. I also believe that any Non profit producer applicantions received after October 1st 2010 should be entitled to one review.
I do not believe the Medical Advisory Board should be granted the authority to remove qualifying conditions from the list of debilitating medical conditions that qualify for the medical use of cannabis, or the addition of particular eligibility criteria for persons applying under those conditions.
I believe the average surplus for the licensed providers should be provided to the patients. As these producers are non profit I feel these financial records should be public
The DOH should set salary limitation on the licensed providers in order to effectively lower the cost of mediciation for all .
Cannabis should not cost between 5,000.00$- 6,000.00$ a pound to produce, taking into considerations all expenses cannabis can easily be sold for a 1/3 of what it is currently be sold for. The fair Market price for cannabis is inflated due to its prohibition. Prohibition has caused inflated black maket prices on cannabis. If tomatoes were made illegal tomorrow, next year the cost of tomatoes would be several thousand dollars a pound. this is a inflated black market price.
As it is now the producers are charging more than drug dealers on the street.
I feel the term non profit to be misleading, directors of non profits are non limited on their financial compensations.
In some non profits you have directors being paid 600,000.00$ a year.
As in many cases, non-profit is a misleading term. In addition to addressing the financial and covetous deportment of the DOH at this hearing, we should be debating salary limitations on the providers in order to effectively lower the cost of medication for ALL patients.
But we must have significantly lower prices for ALL patients. Instead we have the Department of Health and licensed providers fighting over who is going to get what part of the patients money.
I can’t afford my medication.
If I were to buy Medical Cannabis through the approved dispensaries I would not be able to pay my rent or feed myself. The fact is, one ounce of Medical Marijuana purchased through the approved provider’s costs more than one month’s rent for most patients
I would like to believe that between the Department of Health and the licensed providers there are some human beings who are involved in this program for altruistic reasons. But I will state unequivocally, that both entities primary interest is to make money off the backs of patients in the program.
Anyone who has done research into the growing of marijuana knows the Huge profit margin for providers is potentially far beyond what is morally acceptable when it comes to patient’s medication.
