In Sonoma County, a delivery service called North Coast Collective was started about a month ago by a 35-year-old former Santa Rosa bank employee who was recovering from chemotherapy treatment for intestinal cancer. Tom, who asked that only his first name be used, also is a medical marijuana patient and said the collective has about 50 members.

The organization is aimed at serving those who truly are not mobile, he said. “I can tell you how important it is to have a delivery service for somebody that is sick,” he said. “I found that out.”

He said the collective is not making anybody rich. “You add in the sales tax and everything else on top of that, it's not even a break-even thing,” he said.

In December, a Sonoma County judge invalidated the county's medical marijuana dispensary ordinance, giving rise to new fixed-location clubs operating without regulation. Since that injunction issued by Superior Court Judge Robert Boyd, at least six dispensaries have opened on the outskirts of Santa Rosa and Cotati and elsewhere in unincorporated areas.

2. We already have that in the midwest

My dealer decided he didn't like having people coming over to buy weed all the time, and switched to a delivery system.

7. you mean "caregiver"

don't you? Dealer implies (jmho) outside the law.

[Hempathy]

12. No, I mean dealer.

We aren't a medical mj state.

[XOKCowboy]

13. I feel for ya...

There are huge benefits to living in a Medical MJ state even if you don't have "the card".

[Hempathy]

14. If this were a medical mj state, I'd already have the card.

And if we do become one, my Dr. has already said that he'd give me a script.

3. MM has been a godsend to cancer patients, especially the ones who can't

eat because of the nausea. The MM enables them to sit down to a meal and that is healing in itself. If I had known about the nausea curing properties of MM, I would have given it to my husband who was suffering from renal failure. He had stopped eating and for a patient on dialysis replacing the electrolytes removed by the treatment through diet is essential. I believe we could have extended his life more if he would have had that extra aid.

9. It's much better for the environment as well....

less pollution from cars and less fuel used.

And no parking problems and less use of highways thereby reducing repaving.

Shit, I want everything delivered!

15. I am a caregiver here in Colorado.

Along with my wife and I...I have 3 patients. I don't like using the term "patient"...as I am not a doctor. I had three friends that got their cards and had no place to grow their own. So I grow for them. I always deliver to them.

Though the new laws want us to stop delivering to people. Our shit stain of a governor is expected to sign it next week. It will most likely end those of us that are following the rules and open the black market back up.

Dumb mother fuckers want to go backwards. They've let the genie out of the bottle and they're desperately trying to put the cork back on. They're in for a rude rude awakening.

Over the ten years that we've had Amendment 20 (that's right...we're the only state where MMJ is written into our Constitution), as judges and general votes have clarified what can and can't be legally done, an entire industry has opened up here. Business men and women have opened up successful businesses. The "green" economy saved Colorado from going over the cliff during this economic down slide.

Now these hundreds upon hundreds of businesses that have done everything our state government has asked from us...are about to have the carpet pulled out from underneath. Who decided to thrust these changes upon us? A handful of jackasses at the State Capital. Even though the citizens have spoken time and time again when the local politicians work to strip away what has been worked hard for...they continue. The local politicians have been bought and paid for by large California growers with bottomless pockets to ensure that it becomes next to impossible for the little local guy to have a successful caregiver business.


Sorry for the rant. I work my ass off for my patients. Anybody that thinks "all you gotta do is throw some seed in the ground" knows absolutely nothing about growing cannabis. This is absolutely a second job for what is considered a very small grow. The investment in equipment is steep. The electric bills. The care (imagine going over every leaf on every plant every other day...or spending several hours measuring nutrients for plants in different stages of development) is constant and must be consistent. The plants don't wait for your day off. Not to mention, trimming just one plant takes hours. And no matter how much love you give to the plants...if you don't dry and cure it right...it turns to shit.


No...these fat cats on Colorado's Capital Hill are jackasses without the ability to empathize.
