Support The Dispensary Bill: Only Takes 2 Minutes To Send A Letter To Your State Senator And Rep

[lawyercaregiver]

I strongly support this. This should be a sticky with popups on every forum!!!

 

This is a short form to fill out with your name and email and it generates a letter of support for the Dispensary Bill sent to your State representative and Senator.

 

I urge everyone to put it on Facebook. Share it with Friends. Ask them to Share it with their friends. This is the only way we can win this guys.

Careful what you wish you just might get it....

[Celliach]

I strongly am against this. It may well interfere with out rights to grow. It's not in there now, but the bill can easily be amended by the conservative congress that has already pushed more regulation on us.

 

As SFC said, "Careful what you wish for.

[Restorium2]

If you want to trade your grow rights or caregiver in for a cash register, sign it.

The last time I asked for dispensary bill wording, the king dispensary advocate didn't even understand what it meant. They dropped off some wording and said, "I really don't know what it means but it's been out for weeks".

 

The only thing about the dispensary bill that you can be sure of is that what the wording does will be secret until AFTER it's voted on. Then we all can put our blindfolds on, whack at the pinata, and see what crap falls out.

How about a link to the bill?

The bill is being changed as we speak. I strongly recommend reading the final version before supporting it.

 

Can't link to something that's not finished.

[Restorium2]

I have the link but you would have to put on a blindfold and get your whacking stick ready first. You do all this whacking at 4:20 in the morning on April Fools day. Sound like a plan?

Ya mean read the "starting version" of the bill when it comes out. As it moves, if it moves, it will change drasticly. Likely not for the better.

Fact: The reps and senators were glad to be done dealing with the MMMA (law) We made it thru the first battle with pretty shallow wounds and the law intact, why in the world would we now encourage them to open the law yet again?

[Wild Bill]

I strongly support this.

 

Why?

[Dr. Bob]

I don't have a dog in the fight for dispensaries and am neutral on them with one exception. Any bill that helps patients get the medication they need is worth a look. Any bill that restricts home grows by patients or caregivers need opposition until those restrictions are removed.

 

We shouldn't get caught up in the headlines 'Dispensary bill moving forward' without first looking at what our current system loses to see if it is worth the price.

 

In the meantime, find a caregiver, be a caregiver. Make that system work to supply patients with medications before you hand the keys to the cookie jar to some corporate seagulls- You know the ones that fly in, eat your food, crap on you, then fly off.

I would support if they would never mess with my right to grow my own medicne ever

[GregS]

The dispensary folks have already showed their intention to eliminate the caregiver model. Count me out.

[free country 420]

My thing is u see so many people complaining about paying a cg to get their meds what will those same people have to say when they have to pay huge for crappy dispencery bud......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[TheHarvester]

Do any of us see anyway in the real world where a Dispensary bill would not further limit if not completely wipe out CGs?

[michaelscott]

It seems to me during the first round we had advocates saying "dont change our law" and those that were saying "if you are gonna change it we want a voice"

 

Looks like the two camps have swapped.

 

How can anyone ever support any legislation of any kind when it destined to change ten times before it is over?

 

I would think that if a dispensary bill included fms, caregivers would be safe. This I would support and yeah I'm a bit of a dreamer.

[michaelscott]

It does make me very nervous when I hear calton saying

we dont have enough caregivers for the amount of patients.

Good post. The camps are merging toward the 'we want a voice' camp. Bills always evolve, it is a matter of making sure they evolve in the right direction. Don't give support until you get the version you want, but make sure they know what you want.

We want it ALL, yesterday!! hehe ;~}

[Restorium2]

I'm in the, 'Don't ask for anything' camp. Things are fine and workable. Take a break on the changes and see how things work for about 10 years or so. Then we will do an assessment and see if we need more changes. Thanks for all your help legislature. We are rolling with the changes.

[SFC]

Even 3 years of quiet time I believe would be long enough to let the smoke clear, pun intended.

[SFC]

Chad, on behalf of all of us make sure you educate him on the reality of the situation and the pitfalls awaiting any such legislation.

[MasterKush]

As you all have said... this bill will change many times before its voted on. I personally am against it. I am against anything that potentially removes the right for patients and caregivers to grow their own. I am all for patients having options for safe and easy access to their medicine... but I gotta believe if this bill passes patients will be stuck paying $20/gram for subpar, commercial grade medicine, while the dispensary owner's and their partners line their pockets. If they could find some way to make it work while leaving the caregiver-patient model alone, I could see it being beneficial... but I just dont see how that would ever happen. IMO the Dispensary bill (if it passes) will only really benefit certain groups. Owners, Testing Facilities, Laywers, Investors, etc...basically people who already have money and connections.

 

Patients will suffer by paying more $ for less medicinal quality, and a lot of caregivers will essentially be restricted out of existence. You can really tell who has something to gain from this bill passing by seeing who supports it. Just my opinion on the matter...

[SFC]

MasterKush, you are a gentleman and a scholar..
