Good deal, Otto. Bring on the bushes of Dour!
I don't see myself going medical in MA after reading their recent draft of regulations. I expected the "seed to sale" type controls they mention for retail, following CO's lead, but I didn't expect that they will actively seek to discourage patients from growing their own.
To grow your own legally you will need to prove one of two hardship claims: access or financial. With 35 treatment centers across the state and plans to offer discounted medicine for those of low income status, good luck making your claim.
Oddly enough, it seems like MA going medical is what it's going to take for me to move to RI or ME.

Draft rules for medical use of marijuana in Massachusetts, issued Friday by the state Department of Public Health, largely leave it up to doctors to decide which patients will qualify for treatment with the drug.
Patients must have a debilitating condition -- defined as causing weakness, wasting syndrome, intractable pain or nausea, or impairing strength or ability and limiting major life activities -- and the regulations list qualifying conditions, including cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and ALS. But the rules also would allow doctors and their patients to decide what other conditions would qualify patients for treatment.
The 45 pages of rules also would require applicants wishing to open a medical marijuana treatment center, known as a dispensary, to be a nonprofit and to operate their own cultivation and dispensing facilities. No wholesale distribution of marijuana products would be allowed, the department said in a news release.
“This allows for uniform seed-to-sale control and maximized security,” the release said.
Voters in November approved a ballot referendum that legalized marijuana for medical use, but the measure left it to the health department to issue regulations that would implement the law

Sounds like Mass wants to follow CT rules and regulations to a certain extent. Let me ask though is their a limit to how many dispensaries are allowed in the state? Also could 10-15 people get together split the 500K fee? I don't think I'll ever have 500K to my name ever, actually I know I never will. I grew up poor moving from apartment to apartment as a kid. I felt like I hit the jackpot when I was able to finally rent a house for the first time and still was able to have just a couple bucks in my pocket.
Rasp, do you self a favor if you are actually considering going to ME or RI, go to a walk-in clinic and start complaining about your back, migraines, whatever. Then ask for your medical records before your bounce. This way when you go to become legal in either state you'll be ready to rock-n-roll instantly. I know in maine you need at least 6 months of "normal medical treatment" before they can recommend you. I don't think its the same in RI, but you'll still need paperwork proving your pain.

Ho hum. Back to being an outlaw.
Otto, the cap is initially set at 35. The 500K is needed in escrow before applying. I imagine 10-15 could pool together but the 500K is just the tip of the iceberg. If approved, the facilities need to be up and running within 120 days.
Even though it is only a draft and parts of it could change, the tone has been set. The state wants full control.
Nice job on the oil. Is it me or does it look like a fish jumping out of water? If it's just me... I'm stoned.

Hey otto that oil is looking pretty gnar gnar. I know you bought those k-swiss's too. Did ya get your free cap?
Rasp, thats its bro so what like 550-600K to start one up? why don't you and I just open 4 or 5 of them then, easy enough right. I didn't see the fish until you mentioned it, but I see it to! At the same time I think you still just stoned, you gave me an idea though: ERL ART, by Ottoman....
Llyod you know I am rocking the k-swiss with the free cap, here it is...your jealous I know.

Lmaooo funny chit !!!
No idea llyod, I sure hope so though. One positive of being legal in maine I guess is that if I decided to move to Rhody I can get my card easily, they have better plants numbers which is very cool.
here is how I usually rock out too, pic was taken before I got the new hat though, this was after my mom's easter egg hunt last easter, she loaded them up with goodies. Anyone else do the easter thing?

NOw im jelly where the heck is my damn easter basket lol. Good movie bro !!
Otto, I'm down. I think 4 is a good number to start with. A cool 2 mil in fees for the state. Sure, why not? I'm sure we can find a couple empty mills around these parts that can house a couple hundred thousand 1Ks. I do it for the patients, brah. Compassionate care all day, brah. And hey, Erl art sounds like a good idea. Glad I could help. 
Lloyd, no. At least not as it stands currently. Watch out for that handle. And I'm not talking about the Jack.
Easter? What's that? I thought today was just sunday.

She looks great chemd I would just push her into the corner of the flower room , away from bright light and she will stop with the new bud growth. I like those long flowering strains myself because they where great for filling in those dark corners. If you look on my home page in my albums you find some Tom hill haze went over 120 in the dark corners. I bet yours is going to be sooooooooooo good. PP ps that Tom hill haze was over 12 feet when I unbent here.
