I'd like to know how this works. I mean, how transactions work for clones. I would definitely like to go to one of these events but it will be a major undertaking for me to get to it, and I want to be prepared. You can't just sell plants in AZ, so what's the deal? And is there a way to...

If Equal Protection meant anything, no dispensary agent would be allowed to open up within 25 miles of any patient who was cultivating. It's the asymmetry of this arrangement that gets under my skin. Somebody else gets a privilege at my expense -- They get the same privilege that I am denied...

It is a legal reality that the authorization to cultivate does not confer a "right" to you. I apologize if that offends you. Idealistically, I agree with you, but I am being practical here. The legal reality is that the state grants you a license to do something that would not be legal for...

You accuse me of trolling, but I am 100% serious. We have already missed the deadline to take the one action that can be effective, and that was to get a new initiative on the 2012 ballot. I get the impression that there are more people who will be willing to grow illegally, than who are...

I believe we face this risk every day. But there is a difference. The feds can be expected to shut down dispensaries. It won't be the first time. But to be the first MMJ patient in the state to have a federal case made for them? Possible but unlikely. I have read the law and the rules...

I've tried to get on the rooftop and warn about this, but the number of people who actually care seems to be in the hundreds. Not the hundreds of thousands. There's nothing on the November ballot, which means our last opportunity is already passed. This bothers me a bit. But then, my own...

Step one is leave Florida. The only "Marijuana industry" in your state is prisons.

I'm going out on a limb here and suggest that as a grower, nobody is forcing you to do a damn thing. You're making choices. I suspect that some of those choices are pragmatic, or driven by greed. But you don't have to do anything.

They don't see it that way: They want to enforce the Federal immigration laws, and they want to enforce the Federal drug laws. Where is the discrepancy?

Janitor, cook, golf course bartender? And a house in Portland would be upwards of a quarter mill. I think we're probably in different economic brackets.

If you don't have authorization on your card, you can request it the day they shutdown the dispensaries. So here is a scenario that I expect to see: 1. Dispensaries open up and people start getting renewals without cultivation. 2. Patients get organized and start calling in the DEA on the...

Cultivation is a privilege, not a right. It might be a better angle to refer to it as a license. The way the DHS evaluates this is at card renewal or when authorization is requested by a qualifying patient with an existing card. They will take the patient's address and the address of the...

I don't have a reliable source of concentrates, but the few people I know who have a G-Pen, love it. I don't know where they are getting oils *shrug*. I have an Atmos Raw. I use it for dry herb, and I absolutely love it. I had to modify it a bit (remove the spring and put a glass...

My local hydro shop is all about catering to the needs of medical marijuana growers. It's not "don't ask/don't tell" at all. It's very much above the table, not growing "tomatoes", we're growing _cannabis_ and we get equipment, nutes, and advice for growing _cannabis_. They know their...

Maybe they figured out that they need to separate the males from the females finally :-) The paranoia-inducing high from sativas is correlated with harvesting too early. I wish research was possible, because it's an interesting conjecture. I'm convinced. And it doesn't surprise me when...

Don't "be careful there." Don't BE there AT ALL.

My electric bill for my 1300 sq ft house was $575 in July, and $484 in August. In August, $358 of that is from my air conditioner. My 600 watt HPS in 12/12 and my 400 watt T5 veg light adds about $70 to that bill. This is Phoenix in one of the hottest summers on record, and I'm seeing that...

Someone is spending $1000/hr to fly around looking for your handful of plants? Have you considered leaving that insane place and going someplace else? That would be my advice.

A good place to live, as hell-holes go, if you bring your own money and don't need a job, and don't have to commute to Phoenix.

I support Gary Johnson for one reason alone; I have a friend in Taos who knows him well and personally. However, if he gets a single electoral vote I will eat my hat.
