New Topic Ethics

Someone in a posting on "Tips" asked about discussing a seed exchange and listing some reliable sources.

As long as there is no advertising involved (i.e., profit making self interest) it's OK with the All Powerful Forum Admin.

I mean...this forum really belongs to you folks, run wild (up to a point).

Pricing the medicine

It seems like a good time to start a new thread since the "Tips for Growing" thread has introduced the concept of pricing. So, here we go. What's the cost of growing medicine? What's a fair price for patients? Should there be a sliding scale for patients based on ability to pay? Should caregiver operations be "non-profit" as is required in Oregon and by the new proposed California regulations? What does non-profit mean?

Have at it, folks, and thanks again for your participation

Vaporizers

OK, here's a topic we need to be discussing. How many out there are experienced with vaporizers? We are aware of plenty of docs who will not recommend because they don't condone smoking anything. But they often will recommend if their patient owns a vaporizer.

What brands do you folks use?

Any experience with this one?

Tips for Growing Medicine

Anonymous has asked to open a thread for growing tips, here it is.

People, I have a lot of caregivers looking for patients, and a lot of patients looking for caregivers. Could we use this blog to match 'em up?

Let's hear some growing tips for different strains of medicine, indoor and outdoor.

Commentary on Robin

Those of you who know of the passing of Robin Prosser may be interested in several threads on the Daily Kos web site.

The first, from our own Tom Daubert.

Then followed by a second and a third which made the recommended list.

All very cogent commentary on a sad subject.

Important legal decision issued

Folks, this is great news! The DEA was trying to subpoena medical marijuana records. Yesterday, a US District Court said NO!

We'll follow up on this one.
