well its better than finding a shitty toy
mdanforth your a real piece of work man. and you can go fuck yourself
lepage signed the bill the 16th. it got the OK on the 16th may not go into effect until the 28th regardless you can sell to dispensaries on the 28th. ive already been talking to the dispensary manager in ellsworth and there already looking to outsource because they can only supply there patients with limited amounts.
they only got me with 1oz dried and processed still took it

When the local P.D were doing the "compliance " check at out home last month, the DEA officer was telling my ole lady;we dont mind you [maine's medical M.J patients]trying to get ahead a little but any one looking at the situation as a cash crop better be well warned..DEA looks at the action of selling of Marijuana as a federal crime and we will be treated accordingly...
I dont feal your average patient growing thier own will have any problems with the law
BUT dispenseries,caregivers [who own a business] and list growing marijuana as thier profession on thier tax returns are taking a large risk in my humble opinion.
Aero-G ; sorry to hear of your trouble,hope things work out for you...E/C
man the depths of your ignorance is amazing, it's been pointed out to you numerous times that you can't sell to dispensaries...not that it matters to you cause when your case is done you won't be able to be a caregiver again.....
Dispensaries will be watched close and if the dude in zone 7 starts buying shit from outside sources he'll be in the same boat you are.......

yeah it is so shitty that Lepage pretended he was going to sign the bill in as written.. but he definitely did not. he made those last minute changes and now everyone is doing shit they shouldnt be.
the link i posted was to the actual public law, which reads as stated by mdanforth ...unfortunately.

LePage didn't pretend to do anything. He didn't change anything in the bill either. After a bill is proposed it is amended by the legislature before they send the bill to the governor. By using the bill tracking feature on the mainelegislature.org site we are able to watch this all live. We saw all the amendments before LePage did.
^^this. The bill was finalised back in June...This should come as no surprise to anyone that we have legislators afraid of the big bully on the block (the Federal Govt). We wont see a viable market for cannibas in Maine until we get some lawmakers with balls.LePage didn't pretend to do anything. He didn't change anything in the bill either.

The bill wasn't changed at all in between it being signed by LePage and it coming into effect next week. What is being done is the rules are being written by DHHS.

no surprises to anyone who has actually actively followed/researched this bill. Its been in the final form ever since it was passed in june, as has been said. I recently talked to people both in the mmmp office and at mmcm, and it sounds like they will be working together to further fine tune ld1296 as it goes into effect, clarifying, for instance, how a caregiver registers an unregistered patient. New information should be at both http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/dlrs/mmm/index.shtml and at mmcm
this coming week.
imho, while being able to sell to dispensaries would make for easy money, being able to sell to dispensaries would make for easy money, know what I mean?
I think maine would be wise to avoid the california/colorado greenrush. despite some limitations, grey areas, and hiccups, the maine program does encourage the possibility of many mom and pop growers making a nice second, or even decent first income from caregiver status.
to want anything more...well, I'd like to discourage that mentality...

yea man I hear that, we don't want our scene trashed. Right down the street there's a "compound" with a 10 ft tree in half-assed cage popping over an 8 ft fence. Tent next to the plant, etc. Keep that ghetto shit west of the mississippi...everyone has to look at it as its across from our town beach. And it looks like somone tried to break into the fence once already.
Really???
A 10 foot cannabis tree is "ghetto shit"?
I don't see anything wrong with someone growing PLANTS in their backyard. What if they were growing tall corn that you could see over their fence, or sunflowers, Would you call that "ghetto shit" too?
Why are you on a cannabis growing forum if you have such bad connotations associated with cannabis?

A 10 ft gajna plant is sick...the thing is there's a way around here (small NE towns) where people lay low with their business. I don't see anything wrong with growing plants in the back yard in a cage or greenhouse. It's ridiculous that anyone can't do it freely for medical or recreational purposes.The thing is when people put up 10 each of "no tresspassing" and "beware of dog" signs on some piece of crap fence that they have to keep adding lattice to it draws a lot of negative attention. Maybe you want some growers that look/act like meth heads setting up shop in your community. I can just imaging these guys being responsible with fertilzer/pesticide/fungacide usage and disposal.
