Apparently after some dispensary owners complained, the state is now looking to only allow dispensaries to deliver within their own CHAA. Once again the program is negatively impacting patients ability to easily access the medicine of their choice. Monopoly cry babies thought growing prohibition would allow them to rake in the greenbacks. Now that has failed they have resorted to attacking each others legal business practices. Affordable, Quality cannabis will always prevail, limiting deliveries because someone has cheaper prices and better product, another low for Arizona MMJ program and its winners. Its not rocket science, GROW SOME FUCKING DANK, stop bitching about the competition doing it better than you! If the hot dog delivery stand makes better hotdogs than your establishment, resulting in a loss of customers, you don't go crying to the hot dog business bureau, you step your fucking game up or get the fuck out.

The reason that is happening is there are Dispensaries doing illegal things because they are based in tiny towns an arent making any money. So they start delivering all over the metro areas.
You being FOR them being allowed to deliver is you support the biggest monopolizers in the industry. The greedy fucks who are pissed they got a shitty CHAA and want to have every CHAA instead.

I really don't give a shit what they do. Let them deliver their substandard weed wherever they want. You don't like that because you're a dispensary puppet, we've already established that.
Me, I'm gonna laugh like hell when it gets legalized in 2016 and these tards have to compete against every liquor store.

LOL....whatever man.
And you're too stupid to realize that when legalization comes, Dispensaries are all going to be CRAZY rich. Guess who the state is going to give all the commercialcultivation rights to dumbass?

dispensaries are going out of business in Michigan. there are 40 of them with in 30 square miles. that I know of . they close up every day. way to much competition . they buy weed off care takers and will low ball the shit out of the caretaker and try to resell it for 600 ounce. and finally a caretaker will not hold back starts selling zips for 75 and that dispensarie can sell it very cheep . putting there completion right out of business. this is killing caretakers . opening up the black market . I say let all the fuckers close . get a caretaker buy from them at a fare price .
Rules are being drafted currently and citizens will be able to grow 6-12 plants once recreational hits.
Being able to sell overpriced trash because of the 25 mile rule will be no more. Just like in CO the dispensaries will get first crack but after a set time frame any qualified individual will be able to open shop. This whole good ol boy dispensary owner circuit will go right out the window when rec cannabis come to town. Welcome the competition.

who is going to count as a qualified individual though?
Whoever can afford it. CO and WA have pretty reasonable fees for potential rec owners.
Unaware of the costs that will be associated in AZ.
CO has a stipulation that states the fees to get into the game cannot overwhelmingly exceed that of the average person. Basically you can't push someone out of the running because of high states licensing fees. Lawyer, property, municipalities and whatever other fees don't apply to this. Will AZ adopt this? Probably not. If the current dispensary circle are the only ones slatted for rec, quality better be a concern, otherwise marijuana tourism revenues will not compare to neighboring rec states. Nobody is going to venture to a state that has a horrible rep for quality specifically for canna tourism purposes. Way more cool shit to do in other rec states anyway and CA is on the horizon.
Chimone has it dialed, less workers to pay.
The next money maker will be locations for rec patrons to enjoy their buds without reprisal.
Why are they automatically doing something illegal? Law currently allows for delivery and if they are growing their own or procuring from another dispensary then there is nothing illegal about expanding a customer base.
You can look at it either way I guess. Delivery actually welcomes the nature of competition but also allows the business with the best prices and product to have more control, the way it should be imo. This forces other operations to conform instead of allowing them to continue below par practices. For lack of a better comparison, Dominos and Pizza Hut don't have restrictions on delivering in one another's territories. The only issue I have with both of these instances is that this program was implemented for patients and they should be allowed access to whatever medicine they want without having to go out of their way. There is very little that can justify a 150-200 dollar ounce price jump because of a businesses location, thats profit grabbing at its best. What if a patient is disabled and the only organic garden is 200 miles away and that is what they desire? Almost all other med states have delivery and the owners don't complain becuase they know best prices and quality always wins in any industry. Might as well limit patients to which CHAA they can shop in by card address if delivery is not an option.

my understanding is that you also have to already have been a caretaker for two years within the MMJ program in CO to even be eligible to apply for rec though, so that drastically limits it--though not by funding, by decree. So, why not have it be along the same lines as liquor licensing? it isnt exactly as if liquor stores need to know how to safely produce liquor, they just sell it. It would seem as though this is something that will be parsed between alcohol licensing and agricultural regulation, whereby dispensaries and growers deal with entirely different regulatory structures, no?
be easy,
It will never pass at least for another 10 years. It wont even be close...

Well you are wrong in just your 2nd sentence. LAW allows delivery. The city of Phoenix does NOT. So for a dispensary that won a chaa in say Coolidge that does allow delivery, delivering TO PHOENIX, well, you can see there that's a very fine line.

Me and my brother have our 88 plants licensed and legal in Denver.
Thanks for pointing out where my mistake was located in my post, didnt know about phoenix not allowing deliveries, you have a tangible link. This still leaves tempe scottsdale, northern AZ, sourthern AZ and many more small towns. To be candid, I have a very minuscule arrangement with two AZ dispensaries. Bring on the hate.
Just curious what you mean by 88 licensed plants, how are the licensed? With the right recommendation I have seen single CO patients with 50 or more plants. Our OPC is a 350 light facility just outside Denver. Has been in full swing for three years. Currently awaiting approval for our extraction lab location.

I'm not sure why people think 2016 is the magic election that will get us legal weed.
this is az and we got med pot by couple thousand votes.
the Mormons etc will come out in force to stop legalization.
my fingers are crossed and I'm hoping for the best but i'll believe I when I see it.
in 1970 we were pretty sure that it would be decriminalized any day now.
still waiting. lol

Encanto GC is in phoenix and offers delivers are the operating illegally? This is not the only one dispensary in Phoenix advertising this either.
If so who enforces this, the police, if state laws allow but not a municipality?
