If Patients partner up with fellow Patients in their area they would eliminate thousands of $$$$ off their Meds cost. I will Sponsor a 5 Patient Collective here in Berrien County. I will supply the new equipment, Nutes, DWC systems, and the place to grow. The only requirement is that all Patients have their hard card and must be on SSI or a Government Assistance Program.

Great idea. Sharing expenses would sure lop a lot off the maintainence costs.

What costs are you expecting to save thousands of dollars on? Honestly, I don't understand.

As far as I know it's alright to pool resources and buy supplies in bulk. While this would save some money, I don't see how it could save thousands unless you were doing it for several years at the very least. If you are sharing medicine that's a different thing altogether and the legality is questionable.

Also, I personally, would never have my grow somewhere else, and I certainly wouldn't share space with other growers. Can you imagine having to get rid of spider mites 4 or 5 times because one of the other people growing in the building just can't learn to get rid of them or is just being lazy about cleaning them out.

having a partner is one thing i would suggest it could help inn many ways you could Veg 12 plants and flower 12 when the 12 are ready to be picked you would have 12 ready to flower
and if your partner gets sick and can't do the work you could step up
also buy a combination lock for the room so that theirs no Key and no Leo could say you can get inn thats the way i would do it

I'm wondering what the motivation is. Why does this person want to give other people everything they need to start growing? What are they asking in return?

Alot of people are still seeing $$$ in their eyes, (not saying that is the motivation of the o.p) it is probably some one just sitting around wondering how they can cut the cost of their meds, either from a c.g or who or what ever they get their mm from, take your cash and do your own thing, if you have the desire to have a large grow, get yourself 5 pts and have at it!

Many disadvantages to sharing space with other growers as cell pointed out, bugs! and people with big mouths! I dont want people know my business, and I dont have 5 people I trust to share a grow/co-op with, plus there is nothing in the law that says we can have a co-op, that is how I look at the law, I say if it is not in the law it is not legal! others say if its not in the law it must be legal,

I will take the High road!

Im a pt/c.g with my pts grow rites, my c.g has my grow rights, my pts plants that i have the rites to are grown in my g.r, my meds my c.g grows are grown in this g.r! He lets me see his, i let him see mine, but when the law passes, thats it, no one will see mine, and I dont realy need to see his, I dont realy care what he has going, we have a deal, he has more than kept his side of the deal, as have I!

No need to share grow space with any one, IM not gonna let a friend/fellow growers friends or aquantances know my biz!

Loose lips sink ships! if ya cant grow for your self (im having one hell of a time, but finaly gonna crop my first plant in a few daze) and it is not because I dont know how to grow, but, I most def thought dwc would be the best way to go, not for me, now after killing 3 beautiful plants that were given to me ready for budd room, Ive changed over to organic soiless medium and changed up my nute regimine, I believe I have my poop in a group now, but we shall see on the next run eh?

There is no money in being a c.g! unless you are willing to deliver to people who are not on your plastic card, if there is please tell me, id love to hear about this legal way to make a buck and not screw over a pt or 5 pts!

Yea Im sure some one is gonna bring up my deal with my c.g, yes I have a c.g who gives me a plant a crop, usualy every 6 wks, now we have changed it to, he gives me either clones, and or vegged plants, if im in need of meds to get me thru he gives me that also, I dont have to give him any $ and he dont want any cash, now when i first signed on with c.g the despenses were up and running and he was under the beleif that p2p was legal! now that he knows it is not, well guess what, the good job he quit to make $$$ off of his garden is gone, yea he has the garden, but only way to make any kind of cash is black market, We are not into the black market any longer! I never beleived p2p was legal, I do believe a pt can aquire meds from any where, and the person supplying the mm to the pt either needs to be connected thru the registry or they are breaking the law, not the pt! That is my take on the law! my opinion and nothing more, so if you want to go with and opinion from a person with a 9th grade education go for it. or just read the law for yourself!

If it is not in the law, it does not mean it is legal!

Peace
Jim

I wouldn't get involved at any grow site with more than 72 plants.
No matter how many patients/caregivers are involved.
I also wouldn't trust anyone (other than family) as a partner.

Your right! Freebie Weebie is what they want...lol I had to cut a few of my patients off. Every single tiime they want free meds? I did help while I could help, but I would be out of meds if I kept them as patients.....

If you are spending more than $10 per oz to produce quality meds you may want to reevaluate your grow.

It costs that in just electricity. I think you need to re-evaluate the way you are figuring out cost per ounce.

If you are growing yours for 10 per oz, I would say it is not good! and you need to reevaluate your grow, or do you just use tap water, dirt, and a shop lite, no fans, not nutes, no gadgets needed eh?
