This thread has gone to shit.
Why don't we all try minding our own goddamned business? There is room at this table for everyone. If a caregiver wants to grow 72 plants, and isn't looking out for his patients, then shame on the patient for not booting his ass to the curb and finding a new caregiver. If you're a patient, and you think the plants are yours, and you're entitled to the whole plant come harvest time, then grow the fucking plants yourself. Like Cory and Trevor said .... if a paraplegic can compete in an iron man, then ANYONE can grow pot. No excuses!
If you want to be like hic and give your meds away for free, rock on. That's might noble of you! If you're on the other end of the spectrum and you're juicing patients for $300 a zip, rock on. If the patients aren't happy, then you'll find yourself without patients to caregive for in short order.
We can fight and argue until the cows come home, but each situation is different. I don't care what Timmah, or hic, or gladstoned, or anyone else is doing concerning their grow and their patients. If I'm happy, and my patients are happy, then all is good in my world.
And bob, I agree with some of your points, and disagree with others ..... but DAMN man, we're all crystal clear on where you stand! Unless your goal is to piss every last person off on this site, can you give it a rest already?
