The new Denver Dispensary bill, how worse will it get?

I live in Colorado but not Denver, and I was thinking of moving to Denver. As I understand this new bill, is it correct that the Caregivers that grow for over 5 people will have to pay an annual $3000 fee?

That is freaking steep, unfair, and greedy on the part of the politicians. I grow for myself and I'm MMJ registered. I've been thinking about seriously becoming a Caregiver and moving to where the market is big...."DENVER", but with the passing of this recent bill, I may alter my plan slightly and move to Boulder.

This bill only applies to Denver, but is it possible other cities could copy it in Colorado? Paying those heavy fees still won't protect you from the possible door crash from the DEA. Freaking greedy state officials wanting a cut of the action is what it amounts to.

This recent bill will raise the price of MMJ in Denver, watch and see. Caregivers will raise their price, as will the Dispensaries. If the annual fee stopped the DEA from raiding , I wouldn't gripe about it, but it does NOTHING, it has NO BENEFIT, except to the state officials wallets.

i think other cities are waiting to see what happens in denver so they can then jump on the train with bs bills to rape you with.but like you said it's all for them none of these bills are here to help people.

I bet you're right and a lot of cities follow suit after Denver. You never know with Boulder though :Tomcat:

Ned will always be it's own town regardless, we are writing a common sense ordinance where dispensary owners, the Marshall, Citizens and trustees are involved in it's creation. We want an alternative to the Denver model that other towns can follow and protect the scene we have here. And everyone agrees up here on the positive effects this has had on our local economy and how it has raised the bar on the quality of medicine being grown.

The Denver model is exactly why they should stay out of this and leave it up to local municipalities, because in theory they (the citizens) know the needs and concerns of their town more then anyone. But it's also easier to fix if a community has regrets later that it has hindered patient access, business and tax revenues. While other towns reap the benefits of being cannabis friendly and having well thought out regulations.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
