This should be interesting to watch, since what they got arrested for is exactly what you just described. They get the "patient's" card to validate that they are a mmj patient, then give them goods and simply ask for a donation to cover growing expenses.
This article explains it pretty clearly. From what I understand, asking for a donation equal to what it cost you to produce, is not illegal - simply you are reimbursing yourself for the cost of producing the goods. However, this is EXACTLY what they were arrested for.
It says that "exchanging a donation for marijuana pretty much amounts to marijuana sales".
They are arrested for doing exactly what everyone thinks is legal under this law. Just follow the link....
If this stands, things will change quickly. People all over Craigslist (and on here) are doing this kind of **** in the exact same manner, thinking they are legal by calling it a "donation".
Ya,I thought I knew what was ok,the technicalities involved is bull****,they'll let people get their cards then make it useless to have....my card expires soon ,doubt I'll renew it,it's a waste to have it.arizona is an idiotic state,and the states politicians love it this way........revolution is coming
