Just read your post, so thought I'd do a bit of investigating.
So I just called the Herbal Wellness Center and spoke to a nice chap named Long, he is the Operations Manager and confirmed that D9 has no corporate affiliation with their company whatsoever - The Herbal Wellness Center are just supporting and giving back to the community by acting as a platform to test out the CANN business model.
D9 does not own this dispensary he is just a licensed cultivator/supplier.
Secondly, I think it unfair that anyone is to be labelled "FUDSTER" or alike : ) Your questions/concerns are warranted, because like most of us, we had the same questions a week-month ago too.
I think this project has enormous potential and if it were mine, i would have gone about it the same way D9 and team are doing. i.e:
-Reaching out the reputable Dispensaries
-Testing out implementation / POS system / Promotion via a generous exchange ratio (In time, I feel this can be amended, by community consensus)
RockHound,
Thanks for standing with me and my right to ask questions!
I suspected that DeltaNine was not the actual Owner, rather an employee of the Herbal Wellness Center. Your comments confirm that suspicion.
In Arizona, a person can only become a licensed cultivator for a dispensary or supply marijuana to a dispensary if they apply for and receive a
Medical Marijuana Dispensary Agent card from the
Arizona Department of Health Services.
In order to obtain a Dispensary Agent card,
you must be designated as an active employee of a Licensed Medical Marijuana Dispensary when you apply with AZDHS.
Meaning,
DeltaNine might not be the owner of Herbal Wellness Center, but he IS being employed by them or in the alternative, some other Arizona Medical Marijuana dispensary. Though, all signs seem to indicate that it is indeed HWC that he works for..
In other words;
It is simply IMPOSSIBLE to become a licensed cultivator for a dispensary in Arizona unless a dispensary employs you and allows you to possess the license.Thanks for reading, even if you disagree with me. I respect your opinion.
Hey sure thing brother : )
Don't know where/how I'm confirming your suspicions that he's an employee of HWC??
He not an employee - Mr Long the Operations Manager told me a representative from the CANN team initially approached them and asked whether they would be interested in helping out? - it's purely community-based and I got a sense of altruism when chatting earlier - he's a good guy.
With respect to State/Governmental compliance - I'm pretty sure D9's invested interest is all above board, but you could simply contact the CANN team directly for further clarification:
[email protected]They have been completely transparent and supportive in, let's face it, a Speculative market to the community thus far, I'm sure they would be able to assist with any queries you have mate. I think it's more like a contractor-type arrangement, where D9 and team are a 3rd party supplier.
I'm an exploration geologist and have contracted many other specialists to conduct various field exploration activities like Drilling, Geophysical Surveys and Earthworks. Although they have complete works for us they are not employees of ours and legally work for their respective companies.
I'm not 100% certain about how CANN team and HWC have structured their relationship, I didn't ask Long, but like I said before definitely worth shooting an email over to CANN support team to inquire. Let us know what you find out : )
There are many dispensaries in Arizona and I'm sure their respective Suppliers are not under their employment, surely not? I'm just a lowly geologist not a solicitor or lawyer so don't know the legal in's and out's, thus not qualified to interpret.
I'm
hoping sure D9's CANN project is fully legal
D9's close relationship with HWC, combined with his apparent knowledge regarding the AZDHS inspection of the Herbal Wellness Center's facility, combined also with the fact that he was given access to record video at their Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility, strongly implies that he is an employee of the Herbal Wellness Center. This assumption is furthered by pictures of him posing in the dispensary and with dispensary staff.
So, if D9 is NOT an employee of the HWC, then he must be employed by SOME dispensary in order to have obtained a Dispensary Agent Card from AZDHS. It is of course possible that DeltaNine could be a third party supplier in terms of implementing the Cannabis Coin into dispensary operations, BUT for DeltaNine to legally supply HWC or ANY DISPENSARY in Arizona, he would need to possess a Dispensary Agent Card to do so.
And believe it or not, Arizona law
does require that a person must possess a valid Medical Marijuana Dispensary Agent card to supply marijuana to a licensed dispensary. To receive a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Agent card, one must be employed by Licensed Medical Marijuana dispensary.
Thanks
Point out where they have misinformation and move on... we have a lot to do before Monday.
