I agree, I am also not unfamiliar to setting up those rooms ;) **hears sudden knock on door**
But I've heard it's a whole different ballpark when managing a huge facility. Hearing about that irradiated batch really made me worried as to the quality of the environment that they're growing in, but of course I know they could not have been licensed if they were considered even the slightest bit inadequate....I think? But then I'm also well aware of how terrible they are at monitoring the quality control of our food -- in slaughter houses and meat-packaging facilities -- so I'm a bit apprehensive about the Hershey Works! Maybe some nasty old kisses found their way into the weed and necessitated irradiation ;) LOL
... In all seriousness though, I think they'll have a booming facility in the next year. I know there will be a court hearing next spring on the state of the MMPR program because some people are saying it's unconstitutional to bar people from growing their own medicine, or getting it from compassionate suppliers. I am inclined to agree with that approach when considering some authentic patients, for example someone with terrible MS who relies on using upwards of 1 pound per month of medicine (an unfathomable amount for me...But necessary for them). Even at Tweed's compassionate prices of 5 dollars a gram (a very good price for someone like myself) ends up running a patient over $2,000/month. This is simply not sustainable, especially for someone living their life in a wheelchair. I understand that under the MMAR there were very compassionate options for these situations (including free medicine for those who are disabled or chronically ill) -- and so I think that some necessary restructuring needs to be done to the MMPR to accommodate these situations -- but I hope this doesn't negatively effect TWD in any way, or some of the new LPs I am interested in (Supreme Pharmaceuticals)...
Hopefully, if these licensed producers are indeed working for the betterment of the patient, they end up leading the pack on these work-arounds, supplying ludicrously inexpensive product to those that are proven to have chronic illness and also charging higher prices for those using 1-3grams/day and interested in more exotic strains, etc etc...
Sorry for another long ramble! I tend to get the verbal diarrhoea...It'd be worse if you saw me in person. LOL.
At the end of the day, I'm hoping that it works out for investors, for TWD and the more reputable up and coming LPs, but above all -- for the REAL patients -- and not just the additional 400,000 recreational users who are wearing the guise of the "patient".
Good luck to you, and GO TWEED!
