again with your 'donate' language.... it's kind of offensive to those that actually do donate time and meds for the terminally ill...

Although I understand your point, it's only semantics. My understanding is that "selling" overages is not legal..do you prefer "trade for cash"?

Yes, the point is to cover expenses and net free meds, at least with most patients that are growing their own. Now many so called "care givers" have sprung up with the sole intent profiteering...that's a different story.

If selling extra's is illegal how could a dispensary possibly operate?

Because since the law neither allows or disallows (doesn't mention them at all, really), they operate in a gray area in the law right now. They're not specifically legal, but until some cases are fought out in court and we see what a judge says, they're not specifically ILLEGAL either.
They operate as a caregiver or collective of caregivers possessing up to 15oz each (5 patients @ 2.5oz ea + another 2.5oz if the caregiver is a patient) which sells to other patients/caregivers. The only protection here really is that as patients/caregivers we are allowed the "medical use" of marijuana. Which in the definition includes possession, acquisition, delivery, transfer, and more. Dispensaries are still a gray area. Selling overages is too. It's technically not illegal to sell the bud you grew though. Overages means your selling product that is over your limit, so instead, if you just harvest enough at one time to always be at/near your limit, then you aren't breaking any rules. The law doesn't flat out say we can sell bud, but the definition of "medical use" SERIOUSLY seems to imply it.
The law is being cleared up by state legislators right now to remove loopholes and such, if their 'clearing up' passes through, were all pretty much fucked and about to lose a whole lot of privelidges. A lot of people ignore the people abusing this law, but I believe its them which are about to cost everyone for all the profits they just made the past 2.5 yrs.

It isn't illegal, I'm just saying call it what it is.... If I take a pound of good weed that I grew into a dispensary and I walk out with an empty bag and 3.5k in my pocket, did I just 'donate' my overages? Get real...

If these so called changes are anything but an attempt to shove someone elses moral objection
between the patient and their meds, answer me this, why are drunks still killing people with cars
and alcohol is easier than ever to purchace?
If examples of those who abuse a law is reason to change said law, i'd expect
those screaming they're only protecting citizens better start with alcohol laws first.
Who exactly are the morality police protecting as they fight against the great satan that is marijuana?
The only thing about the black market trade of marijuana that doesn't work is the added violence and danger it's prohibition
brings. Lawmakers are just pissed that when left to the responsible legal medical marijuana user, there are few issues to demonize,
therefore, no need or reason for them to add law after law after law in an effort to control behavior.
It should be more clear today than ever before that the less government interference the better.
We should all hope no one in government gets the bright idea to appoint an emergency marijuana manager.
If it's not city councils ignoring the majority, seems like giving away voters voices with moves like EFM's is all
the rage in America right now.
