Availability of medical MJ
Was wondering how Maines medical mj patients thought about the quality/availability of what they have been smoking this spring...
iVE run into quite a few folks who are complaining about the high prices combined with mid to lower quality....pARTLY do to supply and demand as last falls excess harvest seems to have disappeared into a cloud of smoke....
In our neck of the woods"land of OZ" due to a high concentration of both patients and growers,the prices and availability have remained constant;homegrown green "no name" is 200/z and top shelf m.o.b is 250,ecsd 3/z......Other parts of the state im hearing that "mersh" is unavailable,cali weed is going for 35 /lbs or if you can find elite smoke your paying out the ass by the grm...
We have noticed the growing commuinty to be more inclined to work with each other,shareing breeds and knowldge with those who need a hand
...There must be over 13 breeds being swaped around for patients to have access to..
SO ...how are things playing out in your litle peice of the state??

I just got my card last week, its nice to come out from underground after so long. To be honest, its still weird to be able to talk w/ other growers, hydro store guys and others somewhat openly.

The town Im in has a decent amount of cardholders so there is some swapping going on. While I cant help but to retain some bit of caution I do like being a part of the local community. Id say that in the small group of cardholders I know we have a total of 40 or so available strains going around, still looking for a cut of MOB and Grape Ape. Right now I have Pure Ak, California Hashplant, Bubblegummer, Power Kush, Purple Kush, Sour Diesel and Pineapple Express.....Im willing to trade w/ other cardholders in my area (Kittery-Wells)

I don't know as I'm not a caregiver. From what I understand it's $30 a month and patients are offered to members as they come into the system.

I signed up as a dues paying member with mmcm in early march. They found me two patients by the end of april and have helped answer a lot of questions my patients and I have had. just my experience, but they really made the caregiver thing happen for me, and that is so f###in unbelievable. I expect to have another patient by the end of this month, which pretty much maxes out my time/space as far as flowering limits go. I used to grow for myself and family illegally, always keeping it under five plants in an area, guerilla style, but now I can grow more than ever and never crawl through a mosquito infested swamp at dawn (although I kind of miss it).
anyway, mmcm is good shit in my h.o.,

According to the maine patients coalition, who was present at the meeting, there will no longer be on-site inspections done by the state.
