BTW pot clubs that cater to non sick people under the guise of "medical MJ" should be shut down, real medical clubs give away cannabis to critically ill people.
You can't have some drug dealing hippiecrite pothead ruining that for their own monetary gain, honestly that is the reason why I lost faith in Vancouver's cannabis clubs & Hillary Black [they just sell weed at street price, calling it medical.]

I have posted it before on here a few times and it is all public record. Well the being detained a few times did not get too much news coverage as there was only witnesses and no visual media to help push the story, so they typically got some small paragraph in some paper.
There was a lot of infighting when 215 was being written but do keep in mind to many Dennis was god and getting people to go against him was not easy. Dennis wanted it very vague on purpose, I wanted it more straightforward. He wanted to leave in easy loopholes to allow it to erode at the general laws on marijuana itself, I wanted it as purely a medical law and felt it would give opposition ammo to fight it if they saw it as a way to bypass the marijuana laws for the common person.
When I did have my own co-op we did sell at certain prices as per requested by our local sheriff that I was working with. He did not want us to undercut the street value to much, because he was concerned that people would buy from us and sell it on the street for a profit. I did bring up that people do this with all sorts of prescription medications already but we did come to an agreement and I did want law enforcement on my side.
Nothing we sold was at street value. People on medi-cal (state insurance for the poor) paid considerably less. People were able to also donate time, labor, or other skills in exchange for their medicine. Then 25% of all over the counter non discounted sales went into a fund to help those who could not afford the medicines and or food that they needed. Yes we also ended up being a food bank too. We were adding in other services when I learned there was a federal warrant for my arrest. That is when I placed all patient records and doctor records (remember they can loose their DEA licenses) into secure hidding. Then I turned myself in. Only person they could come after was me, my doctors and patients were never on the table despite their demands.
I also beat them at their own silly game when it came to charges. The DA who charged me knew nothing about me, not that I was in a chair, etc. Her look changed the second I entered the court room. I had my list of needs and demands if I were to be detained for medical reasons, signed off by a doctor. The DA wanted a 1 million dollar cash only bail, wanted random drug testing, and some other assorted shit. I first got the released on OR, which pissed her off. She got the drug testing but it had to give me 24 hours prior notice to arrange for transportation and due to medical needs, it also had to exclude THC as I had a valid prescription for marinol (never used it but oh well) which would give a positive. So she was not able to test for the drug she was after. I did have to ask for permission to leave my county, never was an issue. Other than that that the trial just went on for close to a year or so. Oh I was also forbidden from operating such a club or co-op during the trial.
