Sorry bud the time to transfer seeds, plants, etc. has passed from DG's etc.

Are you proposing your "new" employee breaks the law?

If so that is pretty shady start......

This may be true! Or is there something I am missing about acquiring starting materials? Did the MMAR injunction affect this?

Looks like you're looking for somebody like me, but people like 'me' aren't necessarily looking for somebody like you.

its better for us to get into these positions.. then allowing the governments and big pharma to push us out and take over themselves.

[Manstien]

Lol, all the LP's got unlimited money, sqf and resources....but they all scrambling for bigtime growers ....

Seeds of Freedom....i agree totally and out plan is to have someone (or two now that u pointed that out)...who has a stable of strains they've done themselves....want to be different, not the Wal Mart of the industry....so it's important that we have our own strains....

The R&D is also a huge part of our business....breeding (assuming u mean combining current strains to create new ones???) but we also want to focus on legitimate medical trials in conjunction with Dr's and other health professionals so that we can have some scientific data (as we heard this week, the CMA is not backing it due to this fact)....this Research and testing would provide two distinct pieces of info....that the drug DOES HELP As well as hopefully identifying strains that work better for certain medical conditions....thereby legitimizing it and also showing that yes we're a business, but at the end of the day it's important to be trying to help people that are ill while also creating a legitimate profitable business

No not at all, but what I've found is that DG that have been doing it for a while have their own strains that they could take over, could they not? I'm not asking growers that won't be a part of the company to provide seeds etc.....and from what I understand, that's completely above board.

Also, if you had read my original post, the grower is so vital to this business, that they will have equal ownership.....not an employee!!!!

Hey, if ur that good that u think u can do all things and do it on your own, good on ya!!!

However I'm a business man / startup companies....success isn't being capable of doing it all, it's about surrounding yourself with others that make up for your shortfalls....and in this case, I have the business / manufacturing side, but lack a good grower....ya, I've dabbled on my own with relatively good success....but I'm smart enuf to know that I need someone with that skill set.....ensuring success....

Is that what u meant? Just confused as to what or why you say your not looking for guys like us???? Please elaborate

Hey ron does it even help to have an MMAR guy now since you can't use their strains anyway? Have you found any holes in the system to acquire seeds/clones legally?
If you started with seeds, soon enough you would have top quality, yet a totally different product than the competition(all the same clones). The most important part is a crew of people skilled enough to make great selections from many seeds. The MMPR doesn't allow smoking as testing either and that's a problem as well. If we could overcome these things the MMPR could allow for such an amazing breeding program.

Well, I'm my discussions with the guy I've been talking to at HC is if you bring on a DG from the old system, as long as they are not just a employee, you can use their proprietary strains....

If just an employee then you must start from scratch...
Am I wrong? Please correct me if I'm wrong, because we are putting a lot of value on that aspect as we believe quality and different strains will be expected by the market
