Class Action Against the 25 Mile Rule
Permalink  
 

Hell Arizona, I have patients coming to me all the time wanting to know what is going on with the 25 Mile Rule. I like many others being on disability will not be able to afford the meds they need once they no longer can grow. I can not trust my life and health to the compassion of dispensaries. I have been talking to others about filing a class action lawsuit. If you would like to be part of this lawsuit let me know, the more the better. This will not be cheap and I will need help raising funds. At this time I don't want any funds until I can set up something to receive them. If you are interested in helping fund this let me know that way I know if we have the backing to move forward with this. Thank You to All.

I talked to Keith Floyd today he is filing a lawsuit against the 25 mile rule. He will be talking to an attorney this next week. after he talks to him I'll be in touch with him and at that time decide to back him or go forward with a class action. Keith said he would get on board with the class action if his attorney thinks this is the best choice. I think we will win this but it will not be easy or cheap.

As we talked about several months ago, make sure your patients are keeping diaries which show the lack of quality and twice the price for the medicine at the dispensaries compared to the quality and half the price they have grown use to in their relationship with their caregiver. Each diary can be used as a testimonial.

Goes without saying, I'm all in on this. Everyone bitches and then sits on their hands waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Want change ??? Get involved.

First and foremost every single dispensary that is open in Arizona is operating ILLEGALLY. Since there is yet one single licensed and regulated grow facility in Arizona, and the law clearly states that dispensary owners must obtain their medicine ONLY from licensed and regulated grow operations, I say we demand that ALL DISPENSARIES BE SHUT DOWN AND PATIENTS RIGHT TO CULTIVATE BE RESTORED IMMEDIATELY. It is ILLEGAL for dispensaries to ever obtain medicine from anywhere but a licensed and regulated grow facility. Unlike California and a couple other states, caregivers or patients CAN NOT sell product to dispensaries.

On another note, if / when anyone has proof that a patient has grown medicine and has sold it to a dispensary (ILLEGAL IN THIS STATE), this individual be banned from the forums and a BLACK LIST be created to cut off his/her abilities to use lawful Arizona patients as an additional revenue source. Because if these individuals lack the morals and values and would stoop to the selling to dispensaries (not only enemy #1, but a clear ILLEGAL act, which makes these people nothing less than drug dealers).

Just my not so humble opinion. I follow the law 100%, for no better reason than out of respect oif my other fellow patients and the patients we have taken on as caregivers. The licensed dispensaries are selling unregulated, unlicensed and possibly untested (just an assumption, I do not have any evidence of that last statement) to patients.  I stopped in the one dispensary here in Glendale, AZ.  Menu board stated they had 4 strains available, they really only had 3.  I was allowed to examine all 3.  I busted out a microscope (guys eyes got all big).  All 3 strains were dry as dust, one was so bad looking I would of rated it a "C" minus or trim, in my quality standards.  Not one single strain was above a "B" minus, and they were demanding $80 for an 1/8th of an ounce.  That is robbery folks.  NEVER, EVER pay these dispensaries a dime.  Contact myself (if able to travel to the far northwest valley part of Phoenix) or Tucson Bob and we'll hook you up with a kind, honest and reliable caregiver with expert cultivating skills, that will produce and cure 5 Star, Top Shelf medicine for you and only seek to be reimbursed for their expenses.

I very rarely cross referance sites or forums, but there are 2 topics the members of this site might want to chime in on here:

http://azmarijuana.com/forum/dispensaries-group16/dispensaries-in-arizona-forum16/best-tucson-area-dispensaries-thread484.0/

And here:

http://azmarijuana.com/forum/dispensaries-group16/dispensaries-in-arizona-forum16/when-are-more-phoenix-dispensaries-opening-thread483.0/ 

I love this site and a few others I try and visit once a day (usually about this time in the morning). Between my business and my "gardening" I am working about 70+ hours a week.  If someoine would like to contact me, please send me an email, as I am more likely to reply quicker to an email than I am any private messages left on this or any bullitin board.  AZMedicalBud@hushmail.com

I contacted one of our patients who's wife works for AZDHS, certification department. She is also of the belief that under current law dispensaries can ONLY obtain their medicine from licensed, regulated grow operations. Obtaining "third source" goes against all their other claims of patient grown and "control and regulation" are founded upon. Prop 203 law supersedes any previous laws or rules. From the "horses (AZDHS" (no disrespect intended) mouth.
Read all the rules and regulations required to be a statutory agent, licensed by the state. The rules are ridiculous and each dispensary agent (3), must provided documented chain of command paper trail from when the plant was germinated and account for every gram of that plant from cradle to patient.
The current "dispensaries" are nothing more than way overpriced "Clubs". And if we can prove the state is accepting taxes from this seemingly illegal operation... Oh oh, maybe that is why this is allowed to happen like this.

We need to get serious about this I need your help. I need 2-3 people that want to keep their rights to sign on with me so we can start fund raising. We need 4-5,000 to get the paper work finished and filed, then we will need up to 10,000. If we have to have it litigated we will need more but looks to be less than I first thought going through a patient advocate group. Which works right with Patient Advocate Group. I would like to start fund raising by 4/20. I am in this to the end this is very important to not just me but many more just like me and you. Come stand with me to end the 25 mile rule.

I noticed Americans for Safe Access has no chapter here. If this was the case they would help with legal fees and the such. Look up ASA Arizona.....Anyone can start a chapter.

I'm going to do this. I need your help are you with me? I'll do it myself if I have to but I would have thought some of you guys would help.
If I have to go it alone and I come up short I don't want to hear anything from you that did not help. It has been 3 weeks and I have only had a couple good responses. It is your grow rights being lost also. This subject means a lot to me and so do all of you this is why I have started The Human Solution Tucson and trying to get Patient Advocate Group off the ground.

 This bill does nothing for the 25 mile rule. It is meant to let counties restrict growing.

 I've been meaning to call you for a week Bob.  Hurt my back Monday night and have been laid up in bed.  Now I have a week's worth of backlogged work to try and catch up on.  Make matters worse my Operations Manager burst a disc in his back 2 weeks ago and he is still (trying) to recoup from the surgery (that I begged him not to do until he got a second opinion).

So let me get mybusiness back in order, all the while keeping our patients supplied.  Probably next week Tuesday I'll give you a call.

Hello, I have been talking with people across the state we are going to start fund raising very soon. We are going to be at Tucson's 4/20 event (more to come on this). We have a local musician that has volunteered to raise funds by using some of his gigs. I have a guy helping with contacting lawyers. We will see this through to the end. Thanks for your support.

The 25 mile rule violates several state constitutional rights and US. We4 are going on those grounds and the intent of Prop 203.

Article 17 and 24 of the state constitution are 2.

Quality should be elaborated... the 25 mile rule is like saying "I am not allowed to grow my own tomatoes... If I am within 25 miles of the closest grocery store..." The emphasis should be on the fertilizers used and the micro/macro nutrients that are left in the plant, after they have been flushed...

Unless you get the medical bud tested (which you definately should)... You are unable to know how "Pure" the bud actually is... Personally a long, slow flush with the use of magnesium, sugars, B-vitamins and possibly some potassium is how I like it...

But if you do get "certified" meds... You still dont know what they put in them... They could be using synthetic fertilizers, which is definately wrong... Flavor and aroma come from the nutrients that are provided... Organically grown produce tend to be sweeter, juicier, and above all else... take on a greater title of "purity"...

 

Is there any amendment that this violates... In terms of forcing you to consume "unknown" substances????



In Alaska they do not have any real medical laws... Simply decriminalized and gives you a specific number of plants allowed....I assume that the 25 mile law, is a simple way to limit the amount of grows held within the city's limits...

However, If you truely wish to get this law lifted... You need to expose the dispensaries... Have them test everything...
Beside political/public awareness... A scientific approach must be taken... This is the only way you will recieve your right, to produce your own meds... After all, the actual medicine is the resin that is produced... From CBN to CBD... If you end up "cooking" the plant matter as a means of extraction... you are not only extracting the THC... But you are also breaking down and pulling out chemicals such as, Nitrogen or Flouride...

There is an old saying... "If you want something done right... You must do it yourself..." There should be no questions regarding the legal rights of producing and growing your own herbal medicine...

Currently it is not illegal to grow certain herbal sedatives, herbs that help you dream, or even those that help you acquire more energy...

The problem with the current situation is that... "No one" has their FACTS straight... It is all about the political views... If you want to take this to the court room... Make sure you have the scientific evidence to back up your claims...

I am going to do some research on Arizona's current legal system...and see what I can come up with... If I find anything worth noting... I'll make sure to post it here...

Untill then... Feel free to message me if you should require any advice about your grow... Or maybe if you just need some general or specific information on the Cannabis plant species...

 

Thank you for taking the time to listen...

Love your beauties... Each and everyone one...

For you will notice the difference...


Thanks again,

Thanks again Bob for your tireless devotion and energy. I know your frustration. 95% expect the 5% of us to do all of the leg work and spend the $$$$ on the attorneys and trips to City Hall. I have been actively filing up the legalization petition, on my second page currently and just got started this week.

Once again, you are a role model and much appreciated Bob. Thank you from all of us.
