Both of us are medical cannabis patients under RCW69.51a of which I encourage you to look into for your concerns.
so, according to you, one "medical cannabis patient" can freely sell as much as he/she wants so long as the recipient is also a "medical cannabis patient" as those terms are defined in the RCW 69.51a?
I just want to make sure I completely understand your ignorance of the law.
You can legally distribute cannabis to up to 10 people at a time as long as you are within the limitations of no more then 24 ounces at a given time set forth by the law for your collective garden. Once again, I encourage you to read the law to understand it. This is how all medical collectives/dispensaries operate within Washington State.
69.51A.085
Collective gardens.

(e) No useable cannabis from the collective garden is delivered to anyone other than one of the qualifying patients participating in the collective garden.
(2) For purposes of this section, the creation of a "collective garden" means qualifying patients sharing responsibility for acquiring and supplying the resources required to produce and process cannabis for medical use such as, for example, a location for a collective garden; equipment, supplies, and labor necessary to plant, grow, and harvest cannabis; cannabis plants, seeds, and cuttings; and equipment, supplies, and labor necessary for proper construction, plumbing, wiring, and ventilation of a garden of cannabis plants.
Regarding the possession of the collective and allowance of medicine to the patients.

Thats surely well under a legal amount for a "Collective gardens" and clearly not enough to even support 3 patients.
CCN sounds more legal than the dispensaries operating in Washington St.
Great Job CNN. It's nice to see patients getting the medicine they need through a Collective garden.
