Switching MMC's

I was wondering.
If your MMC is a dispensary, and you don't like how good there bud has been, or the new staff...
How long does it take to switch MMC's?

Do I just go into the one I want to be my new one, and fill out THEIR paperwork?
Or is there more too it?
 
current regs are waiting 120days from your last switch. new regs being debated are 60days I think. if you want to switch, you need to go to your new location of choice and get the form from them to switch, it just requires that you send that to the CDPHE (the Registry). The Registry is supposed to keep track of who is with who and inform the MMCs of changes so they can adjust plant count accordingly, but it's still a crapshoot and they haven't gotten it all figured out. as a courtesy, it would nice of you to inform the old MMC that you have switched to another provider so they can keep thier counts in compliance (not required of you to do so though).

Thank you. Very helpful.
I will let them know, and I'll go back there.
I'm not leaving over bad blood, just some minor things that I know I could get elsewhere :D
 
Yeah, there is a conflict of rules. CDPHE says you have to stay with your caregiver or MMC for 30 days. Department of Revenue says 120 days between MMC changes. The constitution says do whatever the fuck you want. The DOR discussed moving that down to 30 days but it still has to go through some approval channels. Maybe after the first of they year is what they told me when I called. The MMC piece is mostly related to plant counts between centers.

The Department of Revenue can not[and doesn't want to] control patient actions, so do whatever you want and let the MMC's hash it out between themselves :)

But to answer your original question, 120 between MMCs is the current rule.

Also thank you,
Very VERY informative :D

Easier to make yourself your caregiver and go to dispensaries in between harvests or whenever needed.

That's what I'm doing.

But here you can now sign over cargiver rights AND be your own caregiver.
You just check a box saying "I grow my own, AND this is my new MMC"
It's for people who fuck up their crops sometimes, and want good dispensary deals, but still want to grow :D
 
I saw that and am still unclear as to what it means for plant count. Can you still grow 3/3 or is it split between you and your MMC? Also, many MMC's will give you a members price if they see you often enough. I grow indicas mostly and sometimes a sativa, using a dispensary to keep me in stock of Sativa medicine in between harvests.

My wife and I both have cards so I can legally grow 12 total.
 
current regs: if you assigned a Caregiver or MMC, then you have no right to grow (unless going strictly by Amend20 and not MMED rules, in which case it doesn't matter since it will be a court fight, if it gets there). your CG or MMC is accounting for those plant count #s, which means you cannot.

regs being debated: they are getting to the point of recognizing that MOST patients can't grow worth a crap, or will always need supplementation from an MMC anyways. so it's being debated on whether or not to allow for both scenarios (patient can grow their 3/6/9whatever and the MMC can still use the patient plant count as well)

This information is not correct.

If you make an arrangement with your dispensary where you grow 3 and they grow 3 then you can pull it off. Most dispensaries won't bother with that. The constitution and current laws clearly state 6 plants COLLECTIVELY [ that means a total of 6 between you and your caregiver/dispensary] in order to have a criminal exception to the Colorado Marijuana laws.

You can have more than 6 if you deem it necessary for your needs but you have to prove that in a courtroom after you are arrested and charged... It's called and Affirmative Defense and is not the recommended course of action.

You guys are WRONG

I JUST checked a box the other day, AND referred someone else and they did the same thing.
As YOUR dispensary just to let you SEE a form, not even to sign over your caregivership.
Look at it, the bottom box NOW SAYS "I am my own caregiver, and I wish to have them caregive for me"


It is so you can be your OWN caregiver, mess up a harvest, not have ANY weed, and still get a good deal.
:) :D

Go check it out for yourself, it's new :)
 
I am not sure if you know this or not shaggy, but both of those who posted that info are on the inside. They have lawyers they pay to look this stuff up and make sure they are on the up and up, if there is ever anyone to listen to on this type of subject it is them, but its your card do what you want with it......

Well maybe there's controversy.

But the Marijuana Registry of Colorado now has on THEIR FORMS, that we can do both.

MAYBE there is controversy.

I'm just saying what is ON THE PAPER.
And he said that my information was incorrect, I was just saying that he is wrong, I am not incorrect.
It IS there, you CAN check that box :D
That's all I'm tryin to say.
 
hahaha, i certainly don't know everything and have been known (gasp) to be wrong before ;) I did say I thought it was still being debated, but it sounds like they are actioning it. i'll have to look into it, it's a big difference for patients and MMCs.

Just ask next time your in one, if you can see the paperwork.
They shouldn't have a problem showing you...
 
part of the problem of almost living in the grow, is that i haven't been in the front end for over a month, otherwise i don't hit other dispensaries. only a few of them that I would trust anyways (only because I know the grow, growers and methods. i've seen some nasties too that i would never set foot in again and refused the offered sample meds)

I've NEVER been offered a sample?!?!?!
 
You guys are WRONG

I am fairly certain that I know what the laws are regarding caregivership and plant counts. Having paid untold thousands to lawyers for guidance, in addition to doing hours of research and analysis of the current statutes I think my opinion may be a bit more sound than yours.

Do whatever you want.

My position is to prevent unsuspecting readers from following bad legal advice and getting into trouble.

It isn't "Bad legal advice"

It is on the Marijuana Registry forms.
THAT IS ALL I AM SAYING.

You ARE WRONG, when you say that I AM WRONG. That's all I meant about you being wrong...

I SAW the document, that the registry has been using. I just signed one.
And there is a box, that says, "I grow for myself, and they are my MMC"

I don't CARE if you've done research, OR hired lawyers.

ALL I AM TRYING TO SAY IS:
It is on the paper, and you CAN check that box.

I'm NOT giving "Legal Advice". I am stating an OBSERVATION.

Here is the link to the state form... you are wrong, accept it and move on.
