Participating in any type of co-op or dispensary is a very bad idea. They are constantly getting busted, and being there you are participating in an illegal act. Washington state law says that there can be 2 cards housed under one roof. Find yourself a grower to help you, or pay someone to grow for you......but do not buy from these places!

no where in the law does it say that only 2 card under one roof but it does say that one patient at any one time.

509 reporting for duty 
i have a question for all you legal experts out there, the law doesn't say a recommendation has to expire. by drug regulations, a DR can not give you any medication indefinitely. we have a clinic here that is 225... 250 and you get one with no expiration date. is this legal? i know the DR, I know who he used to work for but... i am worried i will pay 225 for something that won't hold up in court if i need it. i have heard 2 sides of this argument. i have heard since cannabis is not an FDA approved drug and a DR can't technically 'prescribe' it - that is why we have recommendations so since there are no federal regulations on it as a medication (unlike OC's or hydros) a Dr can recommend as they see fit. the other argument is in court if you are pulled over 5 years after getting this thing, a judge is going to say GTFO of my court this is ancient paperwork. i have searched the RCW's and the recent legislation regarding this and no answers...

Yup, 50 for a mail in deposit and 150 at the appointment. I'm in Bellingham and getting my official card next weekend.
Not true about Sentry Medical. What you "heard" is false! I've been a Washington MMJ Patient for 2 years now...I got mine through Sentry Medical. Sentry will back you up if you are a card holder through them .If you show leo your card...all they have to do is call them and they will back you up saying you're a patient. Also, they are not in Spokane anymore...

So say if I have my card and my girlfriend doesn't.. However certain factors coming up may make it impossible for me to grow at my residence, is it legal to use her or someone else's residence in general if its mine with my card??
StaySmokin206

But would she need a card or no? Hmm I would think they would allow you to in case your apartment or landlord wouldn't allow you to..

If you make her your provider, I don't see any problem with that. I thought thats what the designated care provider was all about. For just this kind of situation Rooster

Even if I do most of the maintenance and it is just because I couldn't in the current living space? Also do you fill out paperwork to designate someone your provider? Also thanks for the info guys
