Arizona compassion clubs - Arizona - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

So i just moved back out west a couple weeks ago and just got approved by the state for my medical card and it should arrive in the mail in the next few days.

first of all, i can't express my joy to no longer have to operate as a "criminal" in the eyes of the public or law enforcement for being a medical marijuana user. this is a great feeling and a huge weight off of my shoulders, especially being in arizona where they take possession very seriously (i had been arrested years ago in AZ with less than an oz and a pipe and initially charged with felony possession and felony paraphernalia!)

anyway as we all know it takes a while to get a grow going and harvested so in the mean time i'm curious about these "compassion clubs" that are popping up around the valley.

searching on weed maps and stuff is tedious because i'm pretty sure anybody can post up a dispensary or service with no validation which leads to an excess of dead links. everyone who was hopeful to start a dispensary put it up on those sorts of sites and they remain there.

i found one in mesa and one in tempe and i stopped by but they told me my paperwork wasn't enough and to come back when my card arrives in the mail...no biggie i can wait a couple days (i got an email from the DHS that it was sent out yesterday).

does anybody have any experience with these clubs or is able to suggest a decent one? some of the prices seem pretty ridiculous ($25 to join and $65/4g). are there any that actually display some financial compassion? how about quality? i'm in the east valley area.

cheers.

The compassion clubs are a joke.

The 2811 club charges $75 an eighth for good, but not AAA+++ weed.

The other places all slang last years outdoor crop. They also make you sign over your growing rights to them if you wanna buy from them.

You would think they would give you a break in price if you give up your grow rights, but it's still $400 an ounce. This is at Arizona Cannabis Society. They have a website with a bunch of patients that you can link up with and cop herb.

thanks for the tip...i can't believe what a racket that is....you give them the ability to grow 12 more plants which they can crop AT LEAST a p from (if they're going indoor and not doing monsters...) and they still charge you up the nose for it! and you're saying they're not even selling good indoor they're growing with those grow rights but rather old outs? sheesh.....i guess they're taking the risk of operating in the grey area but man...not much compassion.

How's your luck been on finding a decent compassion club in Phx? Any Updates?

AZCS is really good. I mean it's $15/g, $50 1/8, $400 zone most stuff, but they have a lot of overhead. But if you need a reliable hook, they are easy to fine. Only thing that sucks is that if you want to go through them, they run a collective style, and you have to sign over your grow rights.

Thank you Grimm for that information. I am yet to try them but I don't think that is going to be an option for me, I would never sign over my grow rights, especially right now with there being no dispensaries and all, that would just be plain stupid! If anything we should take full advantage of that "grey area" right now while we still can. AZ Green was my choice for meds up until about 2 months ago when the Feds did their scandulous crackdown crap, basically robbing them of all their cash and meds. Sure the charges got dropped but the scare tactic worked as they are yet to resume medicine dispersion. Unfortunate because they were doing it right. I have just been going through the caregiver associated with my clinic and they have been pretty good to me. I have to say, it's hard to find good, top shelf medicine in Arizona.

Does anyone have an idea of how the enforcement of growing rights works? If you're "busted" for growing do they have a database to see who, if anyone, you've signed your rights over to? Can you designate a time limit on the rights signed over? Can you only join one club out there?

Nothing but tweakers growing weed...

That's what some of "those" greedy caretakers are!
