Mr too. That's why I opened the dispensary thought to privatization..make it citizen owned.

Corporations run our government. Our politicians are bought and paid for. Only way is to take profit out of the equation. In a world where you didn't have to worry about the Feds...Credit union style co-op Dispensary and Grow-op to supply it owned by all of the members of the co-op. Cost of medicine would cover the cost of the entire Operation. Any profit made would be returned to the members quarterly.

A credit union type approach may work..

So long as you don't need the Federal deposit insurance..lol (just a joke)

Thats what we had, and Ive gotten from your previous comments you didnt like the old way. The thing about it is, it has to be more regulated and monitored. But as I know you hate...someone is going to get rich offf of it. In order to have a business/ store front you have to make a profit.

Even with privatization, yes there has to be standards ,regulations and monitoring. What I didn't like about the old way, was coffee shop recreational look and feel to the places. I've never had a problem with reasonable profits, just the scalpers.

What about a dispensary license, much like a liquor license for bars?

anything gov run fails. Privatization occurs, and "ups" puts "usps" out of biz.

Something to that respect could help, I dont necessarily have a business model in mind, but I do agree we need dispensaries and they need to be held accountable for quality and profits. Government monitored not government run.
