dispensaries, collectives, co-ops, whatever they want to call themselves don't want to have equal holdings and equal distribution of profit because these are businessmen who got into the game to make money off of loopholes then get out and retire while the sick suffer.
This isn't rocket science.
Then those were never real coops or collectives to begin with.And of course those that set out to make all the cash don't want to have to share now.But if they want to continue at all legally they must change how they are organized and operate it's as simple as that.But I keep hearing that a coop must share its earnings equally but thats not completely true either if you check out this link and read how coops are democratically controlled and how they can be a "one member/one vote" OR they vote in proportion to the degree each member uses the services of the cooperative.Also it states that the difference between income earned and the cost of doing business can either be distibuted equally amongst the members OR in proportion to their use of the coops services. http://cooperatives.ucdavis.edu/reports/ag_mktg_startup.pdf
