how do you explain the patient gets to hold/buy 2oz, but the disp also get to stock 2oz on the patients behalf?
just a loophope thats almost impossible to prove?
This isn't even a loophole just a total misrepresentation of the law by whoever told you that.
The law says you and your caregiver can have 6 plants and 2 oz between you. No more. If you are holding 2 oz, the dispensary can't be holding 2 oz. additional.
Dispensaries are hoarding caregiver designation in order to be able to stock a few pounds of meds, while also assuming that 0% of their patients actually have the whole 2 oz on hand. And unfortunately it seems to work for them. License hoarding is endemic to this industry.
Say you're a dispensary with 100 official patients signed to you. You could theoretically have 200oz on hand, less whatever you figure your patients have in their possession. Using dispensary logic, this allows you to sell your surplus to walk-in patients for whom they aren't papered caregivers.
So it's a numbers game. The only real gray area, likely to be decided in the courts, is whether a dispensary can sell it's "excess" to walk-in patients who haven't signed over caregivership to said dispensary.
This being said, and don't get me wrong here I am anti-restrictions, one possible point of compromise here might be to restrict the dispensaries from selling meds to patients they aren't officially caregivers for. This would dampen things down quite a bit for the walk-in storefront dispensaries.
