As a patient, I am disappointed and saddened by the cost of NY's cannabis program that doesn't give access to high concentrated forms of medicine, such as RSO (or eatbles).
This plant medicine journey I am on now for several years has driven me to be medical refugee in other states too. CO, WA, OR, MA, NV, CA, yeah I've connected to them all to review products....Being forced to travel to other states to access "clean" sacred plant products is not realistic, yet I have done it to see if cannabis would work for me. Smoking is not how I get the most benefit, yet processing pounds of this plant into concentrated oil in capsule form.
HOME CULTIVATION is missing from NY's medical program for patients; its actually the ONLY STATE that doesn't allow medical patients to even grow one plant out of 33 states. For what I need as a patient and veteran of military service, neither the state nor federal gov't (VA medical) allows me access.
Its only black market access until I can directly buy from regenerative farms applying permaculture practices and using sustainable methods to cultivate my Cannabis Medicine. Oh, these practices do happen in Cali, yet that regulated market is becoming more challenging for cultivators by the day because of the plethera of rules to follow and PAY FOR to simply gr0w medicine for others.
