My state legalized medical and I've been pretty unsatisfied working within the framework to provide medicine for my patients. From a point of efficiency I've wasted time and money to cultivate the way there state wants me to. I've given up my licenses for cultivation in part due to my personal vision of how I would like to provide medicine and a slight legal run in police. Being licensed by the state allowed police to enter my facility on a whim and my only comfort was security cameras but still an incredibly uncomfortable situation.
I've seen that dispensaries in some states were offering memberships in exchange for patient plant count. They all offer the same to some degree in the form of discounts and small benefits. I like the idea but it is too commercial and lacking but still an idea I've played with.
So on to my vision. Sorry if this is long.
I want to privately and discretely provide cannabis for patients without the legalities that come with state laws - plant count, LEO, etc.- down to the preferred chop time per client wishes. The aim is to provide high quality flower to patients based on contracted agreements that provide benefits and exclusivity. Should a patient desire a particular strain I would provide a timeline and associated cost for initial down payment and work the genetics per client should my current crop of mothers be unsatisfactory for their needs.
I have been playing with the idea of yearly memberships that provide quality at a lesser price but also would allow me to care for those in fixed income as well. By having a certain amount of regular clients I could bring in a couple of patients on a fixed income and provide at a lesser price.
There is a small network of growers I'm involved with that harbor the same doubt and distrust of the legal system. We all want to provide high quality but many of us are SOG growers who value timelines and efficiency. We want to cut out the middle man to allow patients to have access to the cultivators to help really shape treatment in a way that caregivers and dispensaries don't.
Is what I'm talking about already a reality? Any particular advice? I'm open to criticism and I don't want to jump into something that isn't going to be good for everyone involved or be more risk than reward.

I like the sound of what you're talking about. I do believe that the black / grey market will always control a large chunk of the total buyers market. I fucking admire your vision bro, I really do. Most of these legal weed companies will be out of business bankrupt in the next decade, craft growing is the future!! One grower can only support so many patients but strength in numbers though. Organizing groups like these can be hard as it takes cooperation from all its members and well, we all know how well humans get along! It takes a strong leader to put something like this together. I hope you do!!
