DharmaRx.org Cooperative Production Program – Patients Helping Patients

Something new for members of our community. We will help you get started growing for yourself and other members. Here’s how it works:

Attorney General Brown’s guidelines emphasizes that he wants a “closed-loop” system within the collective. In other words, all medicine consumed by members of the collective should be produced by members of the collective. Therefore, dharmaRx.org is instituting a program wherein experienced members of the coop will help set up, teach, and oversee small organic gardens for members who have the desire and capacity to grow for themselves and other members. Beginning growers will be shown all the fine points of medical cannabis production by an expert who will provide hands-on help thru all phases of set-up, production, harvest, etc.

The cannabis produced in the garden will be shared by the patient / cultivator and the coop. The cultivator will be reimbursed for time, materials, effort, and initial investment into the garden according to the procedures described in California law. Due to the sensitive nature and the pioneering aspects of this program, it will be instituted slowly and very carefully as procedures are developed for efficiently managing the program and keeping it exactly like AG Brown wants.

If you have the time, inclination, place, and financial capacity to set up a small organic garden for yourself and other member patients who cannot grow, write us a detailed letter explaining your situation, experience and anything you feel might help us in picking several members to help us develop, refine, and institute this program.

About Me

Berkeley, CA, United States
Hello and Welcome to dharma Patients Cooperative! My name is D. Gold and I am the moderator of this blog. Over the years, I've written a few books on the subject of scientific cannabis study, starting with Cannabis Alchemy in 1972.I have taught many others the techniques for cultivating their own medicine. For the last two years or so, I have taught the Sunday afternoon grow class at Harborside Health Center in Oakland. (Every Sunday 2:00 to 6:00 pm. Always free!). While we cover beginning and advanced horticultural techniques, many other subjects come up in our weekly discussions that relate to medicinal cannabis and the movement. We hope to reflect these types of discussions in this blog. So feel free to start discussion topics, ask horticultural questions, share tips and new developments with other members, suggest ways that our community could be better served, promote activism, etc. Give us your two-cents worth. All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. Dave
