Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Can Accept Money

Wed, Nov 25, 2009 5:15 pm

Share |


Some positive news came out of the L.A. City Council’s meeting Tuesday. No, they still haven’t passed an ordinance. However, councilmembers rejected the city attorney’s suggestion that, as nonprofit businesses, medical marijuana dispensaries should not be allowed to accept money. Such a policy could have had a crippling effect on medical marijuana in Los Angeles as most dispensaries would have been forced to close while those that defied the ordinance and continued selling medicine to patients would have been in direct violation and therefore subject to raids.

 

Still, despite the positive step, the council did approve an amendment that restricts membership – meaning patients and caregivers can only belong to one collective (although there is a provision for "emergency purchases")

 

Additionally, much remains undecided and/or hazy including issues regarding police access to patients’ medical records, the dispensary “cap” number, which dispensaries would fall under that cap and buffer zone restriction distances.

 

The council hopes to iron out some of the more divisive issues next week.

Has anyone ever thought of going into the medical marijuana business? There is money to be made in the business, even in this bad economy. To get some info on this business go to: http://zanzan1.wordpress.com/.

7 VICTIMS OF OUR FEMINIST DICTATORSHIP

1
Millions of ruined men, jailed or robbed by wives or girlfriends, deprived of children, houses, turned into monthly bonded laborers, even driven to suicide.
2
Millions of their babies, killed before or after birth, because mothers had calculated that exploitation of their fathers or taxpayers would not bring enough money.
3
Millions of bastardized children; even the most worthless woman can take children from the best father, neglect, abuse and even kill them, without punishment.
4
Millions of grandparents deprived of their grandkids - Angry mother can, at whim, completely legally, deprive her child of 1/2 family as revenge against the father.
5
Millions of taxpayers, incl. bachelors and gays, paying 1/2 of their taxes for single moms’ ghettoes, anti-men projects and deviancy of fatherless armies on our streets.
6
Millions of war victims of feminist imperialism against Moslem countries and other traditional societies, under the pretext of terrorism, drugs or prodemocracy war.
7
Millions of aging, single women lost best things in life that money they plundered can’t buy and their judges can’t order; Secret goal of feminist heterophobia?


No machist dictatorship imaginable can inflict even 1% of feminist violence and social destruction. Our female ruling class & their collaborators are biggest criminals in history.

Fight for gender equality!
Fight, to bring feminist barbarians and their hired guns to justice, to pay for their crimes & for the blood they spilled!

Federal Judge David Carter has dismissed the case conserning Obama's eligibility to be president one month after stating the case had merit and he had to bring this case to the courts as the constituion mandates it so .
The million(plus) dollars thrown at keeping the facts under wraps was apparently sufficent .
Judge Carters peers are considering censur actions as they smell a rat .

SO . why would old Barry drop a million plus dollars to hide the facts ? No need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out .
Hang on America , it ain't over yet !

the politicians are just stalling the dispensaries until the new health care bill passes and medical cannabis will be in jeopardy, just yesterday here in california they announced that all flavored tobacco and roll your own tobacco is banned, how does it make sense for the politicians to ban a revenue generating product in this time of crisis when we need the tax revenue, I personally don't smoke cigs but I should have the right to smoke a cherry flavored cigarette if I want, now that will create a black market and violence,
WTF is going on here, watch out for this health care bill, they are attacking our doctors and taking away their ability to prescribe proper medication at their discretion.

The "1 dispensary only" is troubling to me. This same issue is part of a City Council Ordinance that was just passed and currently open for discussion here in northern Calif. The thing is that different collectives/co-ops/dispensaries carry different strains based on what their members grow & supply. Since I do not grow, I am at the mercy of what is available at the various dispensaries. I guess I could find an alternative med that works as well, but the 2 collectives I frequent are because of their selection of day or night meds (each place seems to have mainly 1 or the other). Plus there is also the competitive cost issue - the collectives are encouraged to keep overhead (and hence med price) down if they know you can walk out and go somewhere else if the prices are too high. Same thing for Walgreens and Rite-Aide - I shop for the best prices I can get for what I need. Hate to see that option go by the wayside.

Do any of you realize how much these dispensaries make? They are charging insane prices, I'm here in Colorado and the average is like $45.00 for 1/8th , and $12 per gram.

I understand that it takes money to pay electricity and people have to have money to eat that run the dispensaries, but they are running these dispensaries to make big profits. It should be about helping people like THEY CLAIM. These dispensaries could cut their prices in FREAKIN HALF and still get by, then...it would truly be helping the sick and ailing.

Why pay street prices inside of a dispensary? If your able to grow your own.....DO IT !!! these dispensaries take advantage of the movement. I can't see how people flock to them and pay the insane prices. It's so easy to grow your own. Herb should be totally legal, if it ever is , I would imagine that an OUNCE of primo grade A ganja would run around $100, now that would be awesome.

Why can't they treat dispensaries as true non-profits if that's what they're all operating as? Other non-profits are allowed to take in money to pay the people working for them and cover overhead costs. Were dispensaries supposed to pay out of pocket to keep themselves open? That's not a non-profit, that's philanthropy. It's silly the council had to even talk about this, but thank goodness they're making progress.

well, i think that the divisive issue is whether or not certain politicians like cannabis in LA or not. Blah Blah Blah same restrictive procedural attempt.

Just yesterday (last week) the DEA removed old AMA documentation from their web site recommending cannabis be kept Schedule 1 because of the dangers.

That point made, why is the Obama administration not taking their (AMA) recommendations since it would immediately soften the public's monetary tax burden.

You were obviously using the AMA's previous recommendations to support the prohibition of cannabis, so what's up Mr. President, how come you won't use the AMA's current recommendation?
