WTF how stoned do you have to be to find logic in that? There NEEDS to be regulation by the state so people pay their fing taxes like everyone else in this country. I am personally SICK of all these clubs making nothing but cash under the table and there is 0 regulation on what crazy nutrients, pesticides, and whatever weird snake oil shit people use on weed. Get a fing clue
Friend, you really aint from around here. I know this because you seem to think the State of Arizona has ANY interest beyond taxes. The State of AZ DOES NOT regulate the nutrients used to grow MJ ANYWHERE, it hardly regulates them in Big Agriculture. The State of AZ DOES NOT regulate the use of pesticides beyond professional application ANYWHERE. And we test ALLL the "snake oil" that companies want to introduce to the market, be they pesticides or nutrients or soil boosters or whathefuckever, right in our backyard. Ever heard of the Mega Farms down in Yuma? The State Of Arizona Dept. of Agriculture is one of the most lax "Good Ol' Boys Club" in the damned US.
And heres the other thing that tells me you aint from around here chum. As we the Patients of the AMMA begin to lose our rights to cultivate the gap only widens between events like the Farmers Markets and organizations like the Phoenix Relief Center. What I believe the point of the original post being "odd" was is that the folks who are killing the Farmers Markets are still using them as a means to distribute meds in their "Not for profit" operation obviously, as otherwise there is no legitimate reason for them to support an event that is in direct conflict with their operation.
Pretty sure that unless the Phoenix Releif Center had a set up to check card status and input distribution amounts on site, they would in fact be in direct violation of the rules as established by W. Humble and company as well, that is if they are participating in the Farmers Market that is.
Hope this helped someone "Get a Fing clue".
