CT MMJ Growing Laws

A license. Only 10 licensed growers will be operating in the state at any given time.

Only licensed pharmacists can dispense medical MJ.
 
YOu need to have 7 Figure Backing.... Meaning, unless you got a million, or someone who is willing to back you with a million, you can forget about it... The 10 Production companies that will be providing the Pharmacies with the medicine are going to have to have their own seperate grow areas, with their own security, and their own workers..... The state is not going to be protecting them in any way shape or form.... The rich will be getting richer in CT.... You will NOT be able to grow your own medicine at all, and it is going to be VERY hard to attain a card in CT.... Just move across the border to RI....

Is RI more relaxed on patient growing?
 
Chronic,

Only corporate growers, no personal growing in CT. :sad: I posted Section10 from the bill in another thread here, and don't want to spam.

Please keep in mind though that this will be a work in progress. If corporate production and sale doesn't work well, the legislature may well revisit the issue.
 
For starters, it will take $25k to apply to be a producer. The sunken costs for a facility would be significant, the application process, equipment, and legal support to help with local zoning/permitting. The risk of investment is higher because it is not clear how many clients will be given access (very strict on the types of illnesses that would qualify). At the same time, it will take getting into this game early to make it work.

In terms of approach, I am guessing that it might be best to work with an existing farm-- lease space on their grounds perhaps but manage production as a seperate entity. There is considerable support for small farms in CT, and they would make good allies. The law was written as it is in part to support existing small farmers.

Done right, I think CT would be a safer place to produce than many other states. Being recognized as one of the strictest in the nation, the DEA might let the business develop here as an example of highly regulated success.

Is there any MMJ zoning info available to the public yet....
I assume the farms you speak of are zoned agriculturally.

Zoning will be up to the Towns, and although there is nothing specific yet, I would expect many towns would consider MMJ production a nuissance to keep it out of their district. By working with established farms, the towns would be more friendly to the idea of a MMJ grow.

Sorry in advance for the stupid question... Aren't a lot of those small farms consider residential property or to be designated as a farm in CT do you have to be agricultural???
 
If I lived in CT I would wipe my ass with this worthless bill...fuck that awful new law and grow as much as you want.

To operate a farm, the zoning has to support it. Zoning need not be called 'agricultural', it just has to allow for farming. For example, being in a 'Rurual Residential' zone may allow for a farm of <10 acres.

This is kinda the way I feel. There are too many restrictions with this bill regarding eligibility and peramiters to grow. It will leave many who are suffering out in the cold, as the patient must be gravely ill. The bill as it stands now is almost worthless and has to be revised. Connecticut wants to run its MMJ program like Big Pharma. Bad start to a hard fought victory.
 
Like I said, 7 Figure Backing..... Start there, and put in your 25K NON REFUNDABLE application, and go from there....

Yes, in RI Patients are allowed 12 plants in Veg, 12 in flower....
 
No exageration with 7 figure backing, lol. Check out this section of the law about producers (Section 10):

(G) Establish financial requirements for producers, under which (i) each applicant demonstrates the financial capacity to build and operate a marijuana production facility, and (ii) each licensed producer may be required to maintain an escrow account in a financial institution in this state in an amount of two million dollars;

That does not seem like to far of a stretch considering the financials of many CT/ Upstate NY residents. I believe Fairfield County is one of the wealthiest in the nation.
Any resident requirements?
