San Diego MMJ Scene

Hi Everybody!

I was wondering if any of you guys are familiar with the politics and legality of MMJ in San Diego county.

I am a recent transplant to North County, from Fla, and I just started a garden. I am interested in remaining within the law (at least state law) and was wondering if there are any tips on how to find qualified patients to be a caregiver for, are there any channels for connecting directly with patients (besides craigslist...)?
*I know that for any patient I decide to take on I must have them sign paperwork stating I'm their only source and to comply w. law and all that good stuff, and to always verify their recommendation.

I am also interested in working with dispensaries (although I would much rather work directly with patient and I know Mayor Filner is fighting for patient's rights (for now at least, and more dispensaries will probably start to open up. Does anyone from the area have experience working with a dispensary and could share it?
Or has anyone ran a delivery service in SD? What do you have to do to keep it legal? Do you have to pay tax? is so, how?

I'd also like to know, from a patients perspective, what I could do to make myself available to patients in the area.
Since I recently moved here, my network is kind of small so I don't really know who to trust....
What is the best way to build a relationship with a dispensary (or patient) without having to risk any of your meds, money, or time?


Thanks Guys!!!
One Love

The biggest problem with dealing with CL or budtrader is people trying to rob you. If you haven't grown before you're first few harvests will probably not be quite dispensary quality...but vending is definitely a better option then dealing with some random person from the internet. What are ya running?
