To evo... You are exactly what's wrong with the program we have here in RI. I am a patient and have been screwed over by "caregivers" at least three times now. You are NOT allowed BY LAW to profit ANYTHING. You are doing the same thing that all these caregivers do. Do you realize that if you charge 125 an ounce and you are allowed to grow 12 plants mature and 12 immature that when you crop one set of twelve plants and then charge 125 an ounce you could make 4500 assuming you get only 3 ounces a plant!!!!! Please don't tell me it costs that much to grow 12 plants. I have started growing my own and 4500 doesn't even come close. You are not suppose to charge sick patients because it takes time and energy. It is suppose to be charity. The only thing you CAN recoup is your actual cost of growing. Even then you can't expect the cost of lights ect... to be paid off in one grow. Any caregiver that charges more than 30-50 an ounce is trying to make money. Hey I have no problem with people that make money just don;t do it here in a state that is NON-PROFIT. A little piece of advice...watch your back because the rumor is there are State police posing as patients to stop this kind of thing.....
For one, Evo, there are no restriction on what you can request for facilitating the transfer of an OZ.
Two, I need to know where the guy who posted this thread gets there meds because they sure are potent. Sorry guy, you basic stomped all over yourself.
You cannot profit, you can only cover expenses and there are no guidlines for what these are so you misinterpreted the guidlines. Beside the guidlines make it near impossinle for a CG to sell MM for $30 to $50 an OZ indoors unless they were gifted all the seeds and equipment. The law cleary allows you to recoup your cost which means supplies, time spent, cost associtated with getting MM to CG, that's it though. Yet, again, very loose guidlines because whose to say my time isn't worth $1000/hr...lol
Two, I've been patient for a year, someone attempted to rob me which was kinda funny if you know me, but $125 is an awsome price to pay. You need to wake up and realize that it is not going to just happen and pouting about it doesn't help.
Most CG's charge a sliding scale to offer some meds to those who cannot afford for free to $50. So, yes, some people should not be charge so much in the same respect that other should not pay so little. Most patients and CG's are off their rocker and should not even be allowed to procreate, let alone have access to MM. The average rate a CG charges is around $300 so this guy is actually pretty good as long as his strains are quality...
Third, your argument unfortunately carries very little weight because technically CG's are only allowed to have 5 oz. per 15 days, max....which means your math is useless because you based it on the fact that they are breaking the law, so they should go to jail no matter what your point is...lmfao
Also, if your rumor is true and they come knockin at my door, to try and get me to show them my crop, like most CG's it's just not gonna happen. It's also called entrapment and is illegal, not to mention using information that is protected by HIPPA. So, unless they got a warrent to find out my MM status, my patient information was procured illegally and since the illegally obtained informtion was the grounds in which they obviouosly used to get the illegal warrent. The case wouldn't even make it trial.
The only two things that will weed out these kinda problems is a series of collaberatives that can dump a bunch of legal mm and drive the market prices down or two the right CC's get the approval and are compassionate enough to do the same thing... So, don't hold you breath!!! And, please, I know your pissed, but this price gouging is very common and takes tim to bring it down.
After all, we live in a society that has promoted the very same attitude toward medical products and service that the CG's are applying towards MM and we'v been letting them get away with it forever...so whose the bad guy???
The people who do it, or the one's who let it happen in the first place.
