Oh, I know that, but I also read a lot of comments on here about it being a felony with regard to crossing state lines (taking weed across a state line that is). Not simply being caught in-state.

I'm more interested in how the 6 plants one is allowed to grow. Is there a license fee and a database structure? I don't want anyone with an internet connection to look up info and say, "Oh look it's Kinetic, his address is and I now know I can rob him."
All I want is to be able to grow my own in peace without professional repercussions. Fine for a dude to drink a 6 pack everynight after work but I'm unemployable because of a joint or two? I know preaching to the choir....

i have the same issue with medical marijuana kinetic.. i know that by registering for a card and telling the gubment, that yes, i am in fact growing cannabis, a drug illegal on the federal level, and hey, here's my ssn, address, dob, next of kin, etc, etc, that nothing good can come from this.. i know that about hippa laws and all, but i don't think they apply to mmj..
i'd surely rather just take my risks and not have to give up any of my info if i could at all do so, right up to when the cops showed up and you get to walk if you have a card, lol.. really can't win..

I've seen this pix before, and it just dawned on me, this pix is a complete fake and bullshit if I've ever seen one..
Since when can you pay for drugs with a credit card ? Since never as weed is still illegal federally, therefore no cc company is going to allow for the purchase of weed on a card right?
Everything i know about the canna business, which granted isn't much, tells me that it's an all cash business.. it's so bad that canna businesses aren't even allowed to used armor trucks to pick up cash deposits, so yeah, that pix is a complete fake..

I was talking about back on the long long ago, the original stamp tax. When they got told to bring their produce in to get a license, but where subsequently nicked for not having a license for the stuff they brought in. Or at least that's how all the cannabis documentaries portrayed it.
i believe it this was on another thread in colorado patients..

Idk man I bet there's a fair amount of people that may have been dishonest when applying for their med card that may not necessarily be "healthy."
When I was applying for it I was shocked to see insomnia and depression NOT on the list. If you are depressed and you prefer weed over say antidepressants, and you want to get a med card to avoid being a criminal or for privacy purposes, whats so bad about that?
I really think the state needs to make some changes to that LITTLE list of qualifying conditions. I know damn well it has more uses than that...
Shame on the state for that one!
But regardless, it's our right to have, smoke, and grow. THEY made it into a crime when they outlawed it all those years ago. Don't let them fool you into thinking its a privilege. Thats like saying its a privilege to posses, grow, and eat our own food IMO. Starting to sound like were talking about N Korea here...
If lying about being in pain is what we have to do to avoid jail time and fines then so be it....government's fault in my mind...

Damn, trust me when I say im as paranoid as the next guy but def a lot of paranoia on this thread..
Theyre behind on processing card applications, you really think they have the time and resources to go check every single patient to make sure theyre in compliance?
Dont forget the reason they are doing this, MONEY, and no other reason. It would cost X amount of dollars to do that, and the state just doesnt have X amount of dollars to spare right now

People seem to forget that only a few dozen dispensaries were able to open in the entire state on Jan 1st, so they had the market cornered. They knew tourists were flocking in from all over the country/world. They had to know lines would be long, this was huge. So they gouged. They made the people that wanted to wait 5 hours to buy legal weed on the first few days of legalization pay for the privilege.
I don't think these prices will last long. There are another 150+ dispensaries getting ready to open for recreational sales as soon as possible this year alone. Tons of weed is out there, lines will go down, prices will go down. Give it some time to normalize, it's not just going to pop out of the economic womb as a fully functioning mature market.
As the hype fades over the next few weeks and months things will change. Just hearing about the prices is probably keeping quite a few people away that would rather wait or get it elsewhere if they can. I think I'll check them out in Feb or March, see where they're at then. I like the idea of a place I can go that has a lot of variety, they just need to price it right. With a larger potential recreational market than the medical people there will be the potential for prices even lower than they were before rec sales started. A larger pool of people with money gives stores incentive to lower prices and try to increase quality to attract more customers.
I think anything under $75-100/ounce for top shelf would make most casual growers give up and just buy. It's too hard to rationalize maintaining the grow area, buying the equipment, waiting, dealing with pests/problems, etc, etc... when you could buy stuff maybe better than what you're able to grow down the street for low prices. It will be like brewing your own beer. Sure, you could learn and probably do a good job, but unless you're really into it as a hobby it's just easier to buy beer down the street at the local liquor store with 100 varieties.

i read this last night it says banks wont do business with despensaries because they dont want to risk federal money laundering charges. It says no credit cards are used. i wonder if there is a denver kush club.
so, could the state be charged for collecting taxes off of this if the banks could be charged with laundering?
