Maybe insurance carriers in NY will be different...but here in CO......nope. Always had to pick up the $150 doc visit and the $115 cost of the card myself. I didn't want them to know anyway..... and like many of you I was making well enough cash from my gardens to afford the cost.
Ad hey...maybe since your laws are different about smoking in public your Black Market will survive the State's encroachment into all things "weed".
Not likely....but never say never. Start finding your love of the plant...now.....separate from your love of the profit...........cus change is coming.
I was actually thinking about the medical ins as maybe a pipe dream ole guv Andy was having. I'm just trying to wrap myself around all the inner city/ depressed areas being able to plunk down coin for NYS legal weed.
Because as I see it...that is NOT going to happen and at the same time, the state seems to be banking on it happening. It's not happening now and if insurance is not paying for it...........poor folks will be buying their weed as cheap as they can. I doubt the official NYS weed is going to be the price leader.
And ole guv Andy is so concerned for the inner city, the oppressed and discriminated against that he is banning the homegrow for 2.5 years............so in
theory those poor folks will be buying govt weed for that time. Way to put the wood to them, Andy!
....but..........they are buying weed NOW, without you Andy
As it stands now precious little is approved for medical weed cards. It appears you need to be sick to apply and then you need a doctor that's registered to prescribe weed or convince your own doctor to apply to gain that ability.

That's the beauty of allowing people to home growthough, you don't have to buy from the shops if you don't want to.. all the rest yea it'll be interesting to watch how they move forward
. I personally dont think NYS has the funds to do shit with weed mabey locally if your really maken some ripples.
