So say your a CO medical patient, and you grow your plants, well obviously you have only like 1-3 strains, so question can you legally trade MMJ? Or is it illegal? Can dispensaries trade too?

I see no reason why you couldn't. The laws are pretty leniant when it comes to giving marijuana to an adult even in non medical circumstances, as long as money isn't exchanged it's a petty offense. Medical patients as long as they don't have more than 2 oz at a time can freely obtain marijuana in any way they see fit. Dispensaries probably wouldn't be interested in this because it doesn't make financial sense and unless the product was superior to their own, there isn't a lot of incentive.

Id like to trade instead of buying I wonder if ther is any sort of a business model for that sort of thing charge 5 bucks to connect people trade whatever quantity with some sort of pay to be middle man. I dont know, would be cool I'd pay or be paid Im not sure what woud be involved in that. Obviuosly the amount would be limited to the legal limit. Contact me if your intersted in doin something like this anyone in the denver area. There would have to be some layer of anonymity.

This service already exists. It's called Bud Trader. Weed tracker is another one. Very popular in Cali. For whatever reason they haven't caught on in CO and hardly anyone uses them.

As long as you have a medical lisence then you can do whatever you need to, as long as you are a caregiver. Right?

As of july 1st I think it was....stores can trade with other stores but we have to call a 1800 ### to get a acess ### basically permission...it has to be approved ... weight for weight and they want acountablity for everything

Fuckers are putting id tags on the strains....if you want a new strain in your warehouse you have to aquire it by seed no more buying clones....they want to track all plants from start to finish

Crazy shit they are doing trying to regulate the MMJ industry in denver Dept of revenue has 24 acces to cameras of your grow


Every time you're moving marijuana, whether it's from a grow facility to a dispensary or our kitchen, or we're moving any of our infused products to a dispensary that's going to sell our products, there has to be what MMED is calling a manifest," she explains. "We have to e-mail MMED 24 hours in advance and let them know what the person's name is who'll be moving it and where they're going with x-amount of product. Everything has to be labeled and accounted for."

This coming Friday, those in Colorado's medical marijuana industry - dispensary owners, caregivers, customers and patients - will find themselves subject to a new set of controversial and decidedly more intrusive government regulations.



Enacted as part of House Bill 1043, these regulations will require medical marijuana dispensary owners throughout the state to do the following:
  • Scan the medical marijuana registry cards of every customer who purchases medical pot
  • Conduct background checks on all employees to ensure they have not been convicted of drug-related felonies
  • Conduct video surveillance of all growing pot plants and pot products to ensure they are not stolen or sold illegally
  • Close their shops at precisely 8 pm
While there have been rumors of discontent among both customers and medical marijuana dispensary owners, most seem willing to comply with the new regulations and move forward.
"I get a sense from patients they're accepting of the requirements," said Ryan Cook, a Denver-area dispensary owner. "We'll see how it evolves, but right now, people just want a safe and affordable way to get their meds."
Interestingly, a group that is actually rather dissatisfied with the new requirements is caregivers, meaning those who grow marijuana for patients.
Under the new regulations, caregivers who grow for at least five patients are required to register the location of the plants with the state.
For many caregivers, this increased state oversight is simply too much and they are opting out of the medical marijuana business altogether.
"I'm not crazy about going on a registry that might be obsolete in a couple years," said Bret Kantola, a Denver-area caregiver who grows medical marijuana for only two people but who is deciding to stop growing altogether. "It's been very, very turbulent, and it's been one thing after another."
Still other caregivers are contemplating a different approach.
According to reports, many caregivers are considering the creation of so-called "marijuana collectives" where patients could sub-lease warehouse/grow space from caregivers and legally grow their own marijuana.
While state officials have already indicated that such an action could be illegal, some caregivers are prepared to fight in the state court system.
"[Marijuana collectives] allow patients who are upset with all the regulation going on here to maintain their constitutional rights [to use and grow medical pot]," said Timothy Tipton, a Denver-based caregiver. "We have the constitutional right to do this, and we're not giving up."

Trading patient direct to patient MAY be legal, but nobody has tested that. Patient to dispensary, no. Dispensary to dispensary is legal, but can not be retraded.

The whole permission thing only relates to the transportation part of it, not permission to trade. Any time MMJ is moved, either from grow to dispensary, or from dispensary to another dispensary in trade or wholesale purchase, a transportation manifest has to be faxed to DOR. Not that crazy, just a means to verify the legality of MMJ in bulk that is outside of a warehouse or dispensary. Even edible sellers have to manifest deliveries of cookies to dispensaries. A pain in the ass yes, but what isn't in this regulatory mess.

Plants have always had ID tags, it's the best way of keeping track of what strain is what. Yes, plants have to be tracked from seed to sale. Even the waste has to be wet weighed before it can be destroyed and disposed. Not sure where you got that you can't buy clones, but I don't believe that is correct.

Cameras have been around long before the Dept of Revenue got into the game. It's called security. Even 7-11s have that. The DOR will have access to the cameras online, but not so sure of what they are going to see. I guess that might worry somebody that is moving pounds out the back door.

What you're describing only applies to MMCs.

Patient to patient where no money is exchanged is about as safe as it gets. Actually, in Denver and Breckenridge where it is decriminalized you don't even need a medical card to trade or give away weed if no money is exchanged. Possession and private use are decriminalized.
