Its sad to see all of the Dispensary rip offs and issues. Its this kind of thing that continues to keep this medication illegal, cause all of the supposed caregivers are acting like nothing but glorified drug dealers, and this is the same reasoning behind all of the Fed Raids. Its also why the Feds are not bothering with the personal homegrower, as long as you are in a state that allows it.
I too was ripped off by emarijanaclones.com,, But his name was Paul, and rambles on and on over the phone. He admitted to me that he has NO Knowledge of Growing and after getting some very sad looking G13 Clones from him,, Growing them for a couple of months, it became clear that I was sold 4 clones and 3 different strains, so I had no idea what they were. They were also selling unrooted clones, and he had no Idea why that was not acceptable. He/They are basically just a middle mad selling other growers clones, which became pretty obvious, pretty quickly.
I dare not use the word UNION, because I dont believe in them any longer, but this industry does need to get it together, and adopted some standards, or we will continue to get nowhere, which is probably what the feds want. The second we band together and really show this industry can be legit, is when we will make some headway,, But you simply cant have a dispensary owned and operated by 3 people, convince anyone that they are proper caregivers for 4000 patients... This is the argument that the Feds are using to shut down dispensaries, and they should be getting shut down because of Fraud and Theft.
If everyone just formed a basic collective, then the Feds would certainly have a harder time.
// But a couple local dispensaries claim "BudGenius" as a sham. And I did notice one of them have a complete change in strains. That would lead me to believe that they themselves have shammed or were shammed by a or their suppliers.
