back to Steves situation, the legal premise of Canna-Care was that they were a collective of patients who pooled resources to grow their medicine in the same place, Steves place. This is not specifically forbidden by law (which means it's legal), but the Seattle Police have a longstanding policy to prosecute these cases as if it was forbidden. MM is in a similar position to the open carry movement, really, with bureaucracy and LEO's deciding what the policy is and deciding whether to prosecute. I don't know of another medicine which the patient is responsible for producing themselves, the law needs to define better procedures for production and distribution, such as through pharmacies like every other medicine. Also, marijuana and heroin, as well as other illegal drugs, are all called dope.
I'm glad steve had a firearm to defend himself with, should have been something bigger. I bet if he had been OCing it, the robbers might have chosen another grow cooperative.
P.S. Before anyone accuses me of being a drug addict, know that I am a health care professional and my views are strictly from a professional, scientific understanding of the issue. I've seen patients helped immensely by MM.
