Caregivers can sit back and relax knowing dispensaries will not be taking their jobs.
The real ones never wanted to. Greenleaf and Slater stood by our side as we protested these bills
Some affiliated with dispensaries have been supporting the laws to get rid of caregivers.
That was Summit, also, the only one that had an industrial plan that would get the federal attention and they are now out of the game, the money has left, Cuttino invested in Maine instead. NOW whats the Governors excuse going to be. "Dispensaries will not work in locations with more than 10" of snow in the winter months"...ok Mr Governor....
Everyone needs to understand, that whether the Governor signs the law or not, there will not be dispensaries as they are planned now. If they open these centers, everyone connected with them will arrested and the leaders will go to Federal prison.
Could you explain why?
-10 amendment states that the state has precedence over the fed in matters concerning the health and welfare of the citizens of the state. This has been and is being tested and proven to in states all around us who again,....are operating, SOME EVEN USING OUR MODEL, as we speak,...with NO issue from the feds
-There has NEVER been a federal raid on a STATE REGULATED agency who was in compliance with state law.
Plus that will mean the Feds will spend time poking around our state and everyone growing will have reason to be nervous
The feds dont care about me and my 12 plants
Perhaps you haven't seen the Federal Government in action,
Not against a state regulated compassion center, have you?
The Rhode Island Courts are not going to force the Governor to commit a Federal crime.
Again, it's not a crime, please stop perpetuating the Governors myth
The law needs to be changed. We need to quit arguing over our current plan, and get with the program.
I agree but there is NO REASON the 2 centers can't open and begin taking care of as many as they can till we can catch up with the legislation. It's better than giving them nothing for another 2 years.IMO
Whatever it is needs to be local and decentralized, with lots of small dispensaries, each supplied with their own group of caregiver-growers.
NOW we're on the same page,lol
No one should be able to "make money" by being involved with a dispensary. People can't invest capital and expect profits or losses.
Well, I know I don't work for free, are you suggesting they man them with volunteer staff only? Not saying its a totally bad idea, just asking. I agree that a budtender doesn't need a $250,000/yr salary tho
I imagine something more like the Del's lemonade stands that seem to be everywhere. Lots of small entrepreneurs, people for who the growing and selling of marijuana is a labor of love.
Fucking brilliant,...and they can DELIVER! Didn't cheech and chong have this idea way back when?
Please don't take my comments as confrontational, I'm just stimulating conversation and COMPLETELY respect your opinion.
