If you want to start your own co-op you'll probably have to have some "old hippie" connections. However, I believe you are able to grow the stuff yourself and sell it. It's not like co-ops "claim" their growers. The only problemwith that is you'll never keep up with demand.

Hey Umpsy thanks for the reply. But lets say you grow for a dispensary, is that technically illegal? Because even if you have a medical permit you are only allowed to grow a couple of plants.

But basically you are saying that some ppl grow mass amounts and then wholesale it out to the dispensaries.
