"provisioning Centers"

[MrGreenGene]

I see more and more provisioning centers popping up In NW lower mi. Was there a change in the law or some upcoming legislation that is allowing these to open?

If someone opens one up and it doesn't get raided that someone will get a piece of the pie ( apple pie ) 

is the America way along with baseball and Hot Dogs

This has been practically suspended and we have been told they will "sit on it" for now.....

I wonder if it's the lure of cash that convinces a person to expose themselves this way, only to plead out when caught ?

If an illegal center opened and could make big bucks before they were closed down, with little ramifications, I understand.

I actualy used to think a few were doing this to get court cases and try to win in the s.c,  But now I have no doubt it is about cash!  Hey its america, im not gonna knock some one for trying to make a buck any longer, if it is right there in the open who am I to complain!

 

If the bill gets thru the senate and signed, they are good to go unless the countys already have rules for it, some  of the countys have been doing what they have to do from the last dispensary over kill that made p2p and cg to any pt not acceptable, im not saying it was ever legal but many did and used it in that way! alot of countys dont have a problem with it, but with rules and restrictions, just like any other business!

 

Im hoping the bills pass, it doesnt take away our grow rights, so im good with it.

 

Peace

currently sure, but what of the last 6 years.

Not just that, but an illegal provisioning center can turn into a legal provisioning center under the legislation that has already passed the House.

That would seriously chap some arses. I bet that part goes away via Snyder/Schuette. It reminds me of the illegal alien debate. No cuts in line because of something illegal you did. Go to the back of the line.

It wouldn't be the first time dispensary language killed home grows. Look at Arizona. They could grow their own until a dispensary opens up within 25 miles of them. We do not know how this will end up. The bill sponsor did say that a vote against the dispensary bill was a vote for home grows. Maybe he meant it.

Snyder is from Ann Arbor, and there are quite of few open dispensaries in his neck of the woods.

[phaquetoo]

Oh rest  you had to make me look that way too!  First time I come out and say im ok with dispenses and now I regret it lol!

 

Peace

 

P.s I cant quote any one, this new laptop and windows 8 is not to friendly yet!

[Restorium2]

That's ok. I will just keep reminding you why this could be really bad for growers. Growing is the crown jewel of cannabis rights and every pot store wants to steal that from you.

[trichcycler]

but yet, it is the very same growers who often support the dispensaries by supplying them, for cash. It's like us buying products made and sold by those who lobby against marijuana the most, using our money to buy the votes we don't want. you guys are freakin crazy ! 

[Restorium2]

In this day and age it's all on record. Think about that when you walk up to a dispensary. And when you take bribes to make laws. You are very low hanging fruit.

NOTE:  intended smiley face at the end of said post, the one with a wide grin.  do those emoticons show up on your screen ?

All that "us" and "our" and "we," only to end the sentence with "you guys" again. You seem confused about who is doing what, grassmatch.

[Restorium2]

The biggest mind blower is that legal Billy is trying to stay in plant count at clone time, and trying to stay under 2.5 at harvest, yet there's a pot store that follows no rules at all. 'No one should go to jail for a plant' is an attractive slogan. BUT How else do you level the playing field when folks cheat right out in the open? Society has rules and when you flagrantly don't abide there are things that will happen, otherwise society breaks down. If you want to break rules don't be flagrant about it at a store. It's ridiculously stupid.

mi law will be made by cash rich dispensaries.... not poor patients... and the rights will shift to where the money is for sure. remember cali would have been the first state to go legal if Richard lee and the oaksterdamn crew didn't title it "tax and regulate" 10k to grow 10k to sell just for liscenses... everyone turned on that bill. any provisionary center bill has to give the growing rights to caregivers. I have seen on more than one occasion a dispensary owner lining up all their patients to come and argue for their rights.... then they get a liscense for a 60 llight grow and screw everyone else, then all those types go to prison anyway. but hey at least its fed time

Macomb County will be the first county to drop the bans on MMJ businesses.

Washtenaw and gennese all but have

Macomb County will be the first county to drop the bans on MMJ businesses.

What is the conventional wisdom whether it will go to a floor vote, and further pass?

[jointedone]

First of all former Sheriff Mark Hackel is a dem. New sheriff has the same mindset as Hackel. Now that Hackel has been elected to a new office,County Manager,he wants to be sure and get re-elected. Our township,even though it is mostly red,still had a high vote count for MMJ on the ballot. Hackel isn't like that bigmouth Brooks Patterson. And Macomb county is very different than Oakland is. Just my opinion after living here all my life,and talking to other people. Not everybody involved in politics is a creep. Why can't a class action suite be filed against each County that has banned sales of something that is SUPPOSED to be legal? I am just a dumb citizen. I don't know what to do anymore............I do know the State is not getting any of my money. They are thieves and thieves are criminals.
