Waterfall I live in RI and am grateful for the heads up.

The Law that was temporary was set to expire and made permanent in 2007 then ammended on 6/16/2009 to include "Compassion Centers" but only three that have stringent requirements such as must be Non-Profit, full prospectus needed for applications but license is only $5000. and there will be only 3 barring legal action.
There are people tripping all over each other for this license, looking to get rich on the backs of seriosly ill patients. Amazing they need to chill, start a garden, step back and relax

Do you or anyne know anything about CA collectives I am thinking about getting one going with a few friends but wanted some backround info about LEO and other variables
