Greedy Care-givers

[Learman]

I live in Montana and this is a big problem. I have only been a patient for 6 months and have ran into all kinds of people. All saying that they must charge what they do to stay alive. Street prices are cheaper here from the street thugs. And this is all top of the grade mj. These are dealers that turned legal. What a shame.
I am a termanial patient and I don't really know how long I have on this earth left. I have a so called care-taker who charges me $10 over street prices. I am in no position that I could grow my own. I am unable to get out of bed at times. My pain is too much to handle and I don't have the strenght to do all the chores. So I really need a care-taker and must pay his prices. I am on a fixed income with Social Security Disability and don't always have enough to buy this medicine. This isi not fair. Then the US Government has been growing and supplying medical marijuana for 30 years. They still have 5 patients that Uncle Sam send out their meds. All the others in this program are all dead. I hate to see our Government control all this but maybe it is for the best. Get the dope dealers out of the chain. We need to govern our own and not e greedy.

The solution is really simply. Don't use caregivers of the despensaries. With the resession happening here in America everybody and there mother are getting on this band wagon and are growing weed legally and still just like street prices. What a shame. Taking advantage of sick people. I want to grow my own but I don't always have the oppertunity to be there every day. I go on a hospital for a 9 to 18 day stay every other month. But as for caregivers close to me are very far and inbetween. I live in a rual area and am about 40 miles away from Billings, where I do have a approved caregiver, by the State anyway. And he charges $10 over street prices of the same quailty. I can only get my meds once a month and that is if I can afford it that month. Fixed incomes don't go very far. I've been suffering all this time I can suffer for some time more. I just keep on seeing that black rider on his horse waiting outside for me. I am not scared for I trust in God and we all are going to die anyway. Clones here goe anywhere from $5 - 15. With most caregivers give them away for free to thier own clients, as it should be. I thought Co-0ps were to change all this. Yes the initial costs are high. For indoors but it is free outdoors. But I forgot we all still are all hiding in our own closets. All in hiding like a rat. Here we are allowed 6 plants for the patient and 6 for his car-giver. Well lets just use the 6 that is given to the care-giver. Now this is for one patient. Some care-givers here have over 100 patients that they so called care for. After his initial set up costs and his time, which is great, and then it is just pure profits. This care-taker maker over $15,000.00 per month. That is with just useing the average of one ounce per month for the patient. Some use more. The supply is always there for there are many grow houses, no that is not a good word. Lets use grow rooms. And for this care-taker to keep his prices the same or not higher thatn street thug prices. Much of Montana care-givers weed does get shipped up from Calif. And this will come to an end soon too! So for a care-giver to tell you they don't make a profit, I would say the same too. To keep prices up. Man, sick people are easy to take advantage of. They have no choice. Or go without your meds. I am sick of taking Opiates and I want something that is not going to eat me away.
Peace to all,
Ron
