We have been busy preparing for our clinic tomorrow at our Patient Care & Education Center. The schedule is full, the medical records are ready, the patients are eager to take the first step to becoming a legal cannabis user.

We'll by running like crazy tomorrow but it is all worth it!

Check back Friday for an update on how the clinic went!

Until then :)

Hi All, I hope every ones 2010 has been stellar thus far.

This evening we harvested a few mature plants. JTR, NL & BB. We are very much looking forward to our seeds arriving so that we may begin that process. It is not unheard of for the process to take 6 months depending on many different factors ranging from genetics to environment through out the process.

We are going to mature any males we get and save the pollen, we are in the midst of planning and building a "male room" to accommodate this process. I can't wait to have a freezer full of pollen and live seeds of which I personally know the genetics. Maybe some Madison Valley Chronic will grow from this breeding endeavor :)

Well fingers are still mega-sticky so I had better go scrub them again with mechanic's goo :)

I just wanted to take a moment this Friday, January 1, 2010 to wish everyone a wonderful 2010. Here at HCoM we are looking forward to a stellar 2010. We have spent the last year preparing and planning and now it is time for action.

We have a lot in store for this coming year and we look forward to sharing it with our patients, friends, guests & family. A few things we've got going out of the gate this year are:

• Bubble Hash How-To
• Cannabutter How-To
• New strains
• Breeding & Genetics
  

Stay Tuned!

From here at HCoM we wish you a happy new year!!

We are just finishing up the details of our Hope Caregiver franchise opportunities and will be releasing them via the blog and website in the next few days.

Stay tuned, we have been at the forefront of medical cannabis in Montana for over a year now with regards to integrating patients, medicine, technology & caregiving so our franchise opportunities are sure to make a big splash :)

We are very proud to be listed in the Grown in Montana directory and take great pride in growing our cannabis in Montana for Montanans. We utilize local retailers for our cultivation needs and enjoy knowing the money we are circulating back into the economy is more likely to stay local with our efforts.

The Made in Montana/Grown in Montana directory is a Montana Department of Commerce program that showcases products that adhere to their guidelines for being manufactured or cultivated in our great state.

The directory serves as an excellent resource for folks interested in helping to support our fellow Montanans, something we all should take into consideration when we are spending our hard earned money.

Our listing can be found here:
http://www.madeinmontanausa.com/prod.asp?Type=Detail&RecordID=1560&WebReferer=hopecaregiversofmontana.com

We are listed under the Health/Medical Supplies category.

We take great pride in providing a Montana grown product, we politely ask you to do the same!

We have a patient dispensary in Ennis, we call it our patient care and education center as we utilize it for dispensing medicine to patients as well as educating those curious about cannabis from a medical and/or industrial perspective.

We realize that the patient center is a public, some what visible location and that some patients have an issue with coming to our location to pick up their medicine. We understand this and have always offered delivery service to anywhere our patients are comfortable to meet us.

Cannabis has been so poorly portrayed by our US government since the late 1930's it really does have a negative connotation about it. We realize this and understand and take on the responsibility of reeducating the masses to the scientific truth and not the propaganda that our government so desperately wants us to believe, so much so they arrest 3 individuals every minute for simple possession in our great country.

We truly believe the negative connotation is falsely personified as it is only exists because of the misinformation we have been forced upon us, with complete disregard for the scientific evidence along the way.

Medical cannabis is viable, it is legal and it is so desperately needed and desired by so many patients that are unwilling to cross the perceived threshold that is associated with its medicinal use. Did you know that most patients that begin a cannabis treatment regime will reduce their intake, and in some cases absolve the need for, the pharmaceutical drugs. That is just amazing if you really take the time to think about it and digest it accordingly.

Education coupled with the easy access for our Ennis and surrounding area patients is the reason we have our office and take pride in being available in it between 9 AM and 3 PM, Monday through Friday, by appointment only (simply call and give us 10 minutes notice so we can ensure the privacy of any patient that may be with us at any given time).

We are just north of True Value in the Greystone building, suite #9

Give us a call and we'll be more then happy to explain the law as it has been explained to us by our Montana attorneys dedicated to medical cannabis accessibility to patients with debilitating conditions as per the law.

We operate in strict accordance with the Montana Medical Marijuana Act as it is written and do not deviate for any reason. If your not comfortable with a caregiver service that is dedicated to following the law, you're not interested in our services. When we take on the very important responsibility of providing our caregiving service to our designated patients, we realize without a doubt that we can never jeopardize our patients access to their medicine. Staying within the law is a way to ensure just that!

Facebook was a private tool when it was first created, used in colleges and high schools and eventually the corporate world and finally the entire WWW. In our experiences the best use for this social networking tool from our cannabis caregiver service perspetive is for storing and sharing links to pertinent content amongst our friends and their friends and the friends we have we don't even know and have never even spoke too once; we just add them all when they request it.

We all understand that sharing knowledge is a truly generous gift we can bestow upon each other and with out it we can never achieve or exceed our goals. Facebook definitely delivers the vehicle to share that knowledge in a larger scale with no expense outside of an workstation & a internet connection.

With that said, we recommend that you take a peak if you haven't already and if you're already on FB, check out our FB page:

Thank you for stopping by, we're just getting our blog up and running.

We hope that our blog will become a mainstay for our patients and the general web-public as a place you all can follow along in our endeavours of cultivating medicinal cannabis for our Montana Medical Marijuana Program patients. As any experienced caregiver can tell you growing medicinal grade cannabis is no easy feat. It requires dedication, resources and much more to cultivate the absolute best cannabis available in Montana, for Montanan patients.

We cultivate organic, medicinal grade cannabis at our undisclosed location. We always grow our own and never procure it from third parties. We only take patients that we can ensure we can supply and take our caregiver service very seriously. We are communicative and very reliable, if not the most reliable in the state if you were to ask our current patients.

Our website is available at http://www.hopecaregiver.com and is updated regularly, we have a up to the minute newsfeed on our website as well.

Check back often and enjoy the ride, we hope we don't offend anyone but do respect our right to free speech, as we respect yours, so please follow along with an open mind!
