riddleme and TruenoAE are correct and spot on in all areas. it's funny how finicky buyers have gotten and want some fancy schmancy name attached. no wants to look at good old school stuff anymore, even though it generally is just as good if not better then the fancy name purple crap that doesn't do the job.
there are still ways for a currently non-compliant MMC (not growing 70%) to become compliant .... they just need to contract/lease a facility that has space available and assign an OPCL licence to it. I've got all my paperwork/licences in order and more then enough space to expand my OPCL, the inspectors like me because we ARE compliant, unlike many facilities that have scrambled since last year to open a grow for their 70%, only to find they are now getting shut down because they failed to follow Permitting and Licensing rules. helloooooo ..... you MUST get construction permits .... plan reviews .... inspections ... sign-offs and a CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY. too many haven't and will soon be in a bad spot.
riddleme ... while I seriously applaud how you take care of your patients (believe me, I wish I could do what you are doing), the above is only part of the reason why I need to actually charge $$ to my patients - while I try to do the best I can for them, it's rarely free unless I know the situation -. The fees and costs associated are freakin HUGE!!! I've had MANY a conversation with owners and a lot are finding the same thing ..... the costs/fees are negating profits. the state has played a fine game with us to reap a huge benefit in revenue, but the small business owners (entrepenuers like me mostly, who didn't come into this dropping $250K+ into an instant facility) are not doing well.
re: pot sobbery .... sad, but I even myself doing it among my own strains .... very sad ....
