The Azaod is having its monthly meeting Saturday at 3pm at club red in tempe. These are a great place to network with other patients. Last month there had to be at least 100 people there. When I get a chance I will update this post with the agenda, it sounds like it will be a good meeting.

the agenda

Yahoooo, members, family, and supporters of the formerly Arizona Association of Dispensaries!

Putting Patients First!

Yes, it has happened. Responding to the current climate, what you knew as Arizona Association of Dispensaries is changing its name or maybe altogether eliminating a name. What's in a name anyway ... right? If you have any suggestions, we always welcome your involvement---even activism.

Next Saturday, September 10, 3PM at Club Red , 2155 East University Drive, Tempe, AZ 85281

FREE (but donations are welcome)PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS MEET AND NETWORK
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS & PRIZES

• We will formally announce the First Annual Arizona Harvest Cup Awards. We have conceived a safe and legal competition for Arizona's cultivating patients and caregivers. AZ Med Testing has generously sponsored potency, pesticide, and pathogen testing on all the entries. There will be NO entry fee. Besides lab testing, we will present micrographs of each sample showing the development of the head cells and other leaf and floral structures. AZ Med Testing is donating trophies shaped as THC/CBD molecules. AZ Med Testing will edify us with a featured presentation at the meeting. This is your opportunity to see where you stand among your peers, an opportunity to enhance the safety and quality of your medicine---at NO charge!
• AZ Med Testing will discuss potency, pesticide, and pathogen testing and their special discount and bulk pricing for friends and family of formerly AzAOD. This is also your opportunity to ask technical questions and to thank them for their sponsorship.
• We are announcing the details of the First Annual Canna Kush Girl Contest in October by CAMP 420 and jointly [pun intended] sponsored by Formerly AZAOD, Phoenix NORML, Highern Chef, and others. This will be a spectacular party. Consider volunteering for this one.

• We will have member advertising, equipment booths and informational handouts on display from the membership. The Hydro Closet has promised a presentation of growing tips, equipment demos, discounted pricing, and a raffle donation. Other membership displays and presentations are pending.

• We will describe recent efforts to assist needy patients with formation of a Medicine Bank.
PATIENT AND CAREGIVER UPDATES

• We will discuss how, when and where a patient is legally allowed to interact with their caregiver and how to avoid entrapment by public servants with badges and machine guns.
• The Private Club scene is a growing phenomenon and caregiver members in the audience will reach out to new and needy patients and fill you in.
• Our members will address Sheriff Arpaio's latest diktat, AzDHS Director Will Humble's latest attack on doctors, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisor's action, and the court's refusal to give a summary injunction to Governor Brewer and Attorney General Tom Horne.
• Thanks to donations we will finish our get together with a Raffle and Socializing.

Please come on over Saturday afternoon and hang out in the cool and comfy ambience of Club Red in Tempe. Feel free to visit and have a cool drink, med out and listen to some very informed individuals convey to you what they have been learning

As a courtesy to Club Red, please be out of the building by 5PM. Thank you Club Red for having us!

Thank You for Your Support,
former Board Members of the formerly AZAOD

it is the Arizona association of dispensaries, however they are in the process of changing their name. It is a good group of guys that i first met at a city council meeting in Scottsdale back in November or December. I think it is a great place to meet fellow patients; I met one of my patients I take care of at one of these meetings. The best meeting I feel had a business lawyer and a Criminal defense lawyer that took questions from the audience for a couple hours, it was very informative.

Next month should be more interesting, it includes the camp 420 kush girl contest. This meeting was not as informative as the last but still I met some good people and got some free edibles.

How was it ?
The guy who is very long winded and gets up on stage and cries everytime and tells stories that never really go anywhere, that guy, yea they need to sit him down. Nice as hell guy but you can literally watch the people start to bail out the back when he starts rambling.

As for the rest, good guys, good movement, completely lacked direction like the past few ive gone to. However I did meet a couple of new patients and some great people. For that im greatful.

Yeah the meeting lost direction very quickly. One of the members of the board was sick and then hydro closet was a no show for the 2nd month in a row. The way I look at it even if the meeting falls apart their is still a good number of patients and caregivers to talk with. I always try to stick around to answer any growing questions. I was thinking of throwing some clones into the raffle but do not know the legality of that. I figure it should be ok because I'm giving them away but I don't want to put the organization in a sticky position.

crap, i missed it!

i've been doing my own thing for so long, maybe it's time to meet some like minded folks. i'm retired living in mesa. i don't have my card yet but have a history of pain meds from the VA so hopefully i can get one without too much of a hassel. i'm in my 50s and have been growing for quite awhile. it would be nice to discuss the merits of topping vs tieing them down face to face with someone. :)

Get your card!!! tieing down or " LST " is more for people with height restrictions. FatboyOGOF is legit fellas I know him from another forum that has nothing to do with MJ or growing. I have seen his pics.

Sounds like a good place to mingle a bit. I'll keep an eye open for the next one. I am still suffering from 40+ yrs of shock & cant hardly believe I have a AZ green card & a legal grow ! Did I mention I love AZ just as much & for the same reasons that brought me here in 1972 ?
Just awesome . . .

Ill be coming up from Tucson for that...they dont do SHIT down here ...lol
2 hour drive it's easy breezy! Just be careful on that i-10 they have mass DPS officers hiding everywhere those guys are spread out on the i-10 looking for drug traffickers, you can usually figure out when they have been tipped off because they are spread out every 5 miles or so.
