Is there anywhere i can get clones

Hi everyone i was just wondering where i can get a hold of some clones or do i need to wait for dispensaries. any help would be awesome

If you have a card from the state of Arizona that permits cultivation, you may purchase plants. There are a number of ways to do this.

1) Phoenix Craigslist. Search for "clones" or MMJ clones or specific cultivars by name (Widow, Rhino, whatever) in the "For Sale" section of Phoenix Craigslist (http://phoenix.craigslist.org/sss/). Many of these dealers will be flaky, and unreliable.

2) Farmer's markets. Do a Google search for "Arizona marijuana farmers markets". Most require a small entrance fee, and you will be required to show your card to get in. Expect to pay a lot for a fairly small rooted cutting. Prices just aren't very reasonable, IMO.

3) "Compassion clubs." Again, a Google search will help you find any one of a number of clubs that offer rooted cuttings for sale.

Waiting for the dispensaries to open is not an option. Once dispensaries open, "new cultivation" will not be permitted within a 25-mile radius. Thank the Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project for that bit of monopoly power that they voted upon themselves. However, it is expected that if you get a card that permits you to grow *now*, it will remain valid for cultivation until such time it expires (1 year from the date it was granted).

By that point in time, either the state or the feds will probably have shut down any dispensaries; they will be easy pickings for several reasons. The state is full-throttle on keeping them from even opening. So, things may in fact look pretty bright for individual cultivators.

You, may want to check out a place like Hydrobreed.com - where everyone there is verified by the administration. Granted the sale of medical cannabis or clones is still strictly forbidden, but get verified and i am sure someone will be able to compassionately assist you.

I don't expect dispensaries to do anything at all for patients except take their money and give it to lawyers, but this is incorrect. If you are authorized to cultivate, it's a license until the next renewal, not just until a dispensary opens up.

Nobody is evil enough to think like I do, apparently. But I think it's just as likely an outcome that the growers will call the FBI and the DEA on the dispensaries (anonymous tips from a few thousand concerned citizens will not be ignored). No need for county attorneys to get involved.

But it's clear that apathy prevails. All 300 who signed the petition are pretty passionate about it I'm sure. The one guy who was going to try to save us ended up getting busted with more plants than are allowed anywhere, and I don't expect to be hearing from him again.

Like some of you, it was the DHS that got me into cultivation in the first place. I got a letter explaining that dispensaries would not be opening, and suggesting that I apply for cultivation. They even waived the $10 fee. I've often wondered if that could put us in a different class for legal defense purposes. But there so much misunderstanding about the nature of the 25-mile rule and what it would take to remove it. We would need a whole new ballot initiative, and there was no effort to do that in this election year, and it's too late to consider it now. It's probably just as well. This thought should scare you to death: A ballot initiative that could remove the 25-mile rule could also eliminate the AMMA.

I wonder who will be left to support the movement when all the really motivated people decide they have had enough of AZ and move to Colorado, Oregon, or California or whatever.

Who knows? Maybe the dispensary situation will be great. I just don't respond well to having a right given to me and then taken away. For me, it's not really about "growing marijuana." At the core, it's about being given a right, and then having that right taken away (so that it can be given to someone else.) I'll be honest; I don't think I will ever be able to accept it, and if I could afford to do it, I'd already have moved someplace else.

No, this is not incorrect; re-read what I said: Once dispensaries open, "new cultivation" will not be permitted within a 25-mile radius. [...] However, it is expected that if you get a card that permits you to grow *now*, it will remain valid for cultivation until such time it expires (1 year from the date it was granted).

I think its saying "new cultivation" will not be premitted. AkA no new cards will be issued. I would not start worrying till we start to hear the first signs of cultivation rights getting denied. That's when I'm 199% sure that people will start screaming and bitching at which point we will know its time to "quit and move on" *chuckle*
