Every1!!!! We must all get together and fight for our rights!!!!! It this wednesday !

People like him are why the legislation passes shit right under your noses. With the laid back way of approaching potential problems. We unite get our voices heard and overwhelm them, is the only way. Keep in mind mojority wins. Do to the voting system we have, if your not majority your fucked. The legislation needs to be aware that theres a ton of voters now with patient and caregiver cards now. We can make a diffrence in outcomes now, but we do have to put in effort every now and agian. If we dont they will do as they want. I myself can relocate to a state thats doing what i want but i bet the majority of u all can not, so u have to ask yourself "am i gonna lay down or stand up for what you want". Me personally I fight for what I believe in and I am asking you all to do the same.

You already know im with you on this one buddy.RI MMP COMMUNITY NEEDS TO STAND UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slowly but surely more will rally to our cause. I honestly just want to grow, help some people out with cheap quality meds and so forth. Besides that I enjoy growing it calms me down. Im thinking its the air or something but I get lost in there some times, till my girl starts yelling lol. I've smoked a long long time and never grew till I got my card and I love it. Making me open my eyes to maybe I should be growing my own veggies and stuff. One step at a time but mark my words as a caregiver I will send my stuff to be analzed and checked for potency % and everything else there doing in Cali. See even as I type this im excited. Without blowing my own whistle I get to do something I love doing and get to help people medicly. Our Time Is Now, If you love something you fight.

The object is not to take our rights to grow, but to destroy the medical marijuana act altogether. The feds have said numerous times they will raid (places that resell marijuana) compassion centers, dispensaries’, whatever you want to call them. The actions of the federal government over the last few weeks are more than enough proof for me. If this bill passes, the MMP will be completely gone before the end of the year! WE MUST STAND UP FOR OURSELVES!!! If we don’t who will?

That's from a person who is up on his info.

MadMike is 100% correct. On of the strengths of RIMMP is the non-localized distribution network for its patients. If there is centralization amongst production and distribution, federal enforcement of federal laws will become that much easier to enforce.

In contrast, California has a somewhat centralized distribution network (dispensaries) that obtain product from non-localized producers--growers all over the state. If only CC's in RI can grow and distribute, Feds will have an easier time salmon farming in an oak barrel.

I cannot attend tonight's RIPAC meeting, but I do hope someone prepares testimony regarding RI's duty to protect its patients from Federal intervention in obtaining needed medicine. This law directly impacts patient access by dismantling a successful boundary between patient medicine and federal interdiction.

Keep it local! Can't we learn from our farmers?

CD

What a nightmare that would be take away our rights and then the compassion centers get shut down that would fuck everyone

Well put CD, we need someone like you who can eloquently voice our concerns at the hearing on weds. Maybe you can write something and present it by proxy if you cannot attend the hearing. We need voices of reason.
