"The rules would even bar anyone who has failed to repay student loans from setting up shop."
"There's lots of concern because lots of people have made a decision to get into this business. It's been kind of the Wild West. Today is the day we begin to get control of the Wild West and it's not going to be your average mom and pop business. It is the controlling, growing and dispensing of a controlled substance which means it needs to be regulated and highly regulated," Romer said."
"Dispensaries would have to grow 70 percent of the marijuana they sell, a change aimed at making sure pot is being sold as medicine.
Romer also wants to bar anyone who has not lived in Colorado for at least two years from opening a dispensary, and wants to charge dispensaries between $10,000 and $35,000 to apply for a dispensary license, depending on their size."
after hearing this bs i don't see how anyone could say well this bill is good.he has been paid off it looks like he says he wants to get things back to what voters voted and passed "as if it's not already".so i guess by knocking out the small guys this will somehow help everyone? what bullshit.ROMER IS A SELL OUT PIG THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HOLD ANY OFFICE.

I am curious to hear what the general 'climate' was during the hearing today. Some of Romer's addendae are ludicrous to say the least.

I've defended this bill in the past, and now I just keep my mouth shut. I'll just add that the Republicans have now introduced an alternative bill that bans all dispensaries and retail sales of medical marijuana.

I spent hours listening to testimony and then listing to amendments made and passed at the end and IMO it was very obvious this bill is sponsored by big out of state dispensaries who will be fathered in under the 2 year residency law, it does not matter that the people spoke and 99% asked for the bill to be killed, come to think of it Josh Stanley from peace in medicine and 2 others were in favor the rest want it killed.
IMO the 2 year wait is there to stop any more Cali money from coming in and setting up and ruining the unofficial partnership between Romer and the farmacy, patients choice and a few others, the bottom line is they saw the money train leaving cali and headed to co, so as usual Californians have fucked over Colorado yet again.
The only resolve now will be the hopes that Rob Corry will move forward with all law suites possible, this bill will be signed by the gov very soon and like Romer said, 80% of all disp. will be gone, no more independant growers, and yes all will be controlled by the dept. of revenue and thier gun toting puppets.
On a another note; has anyone found out which 2 breeders up North have sold their seed line to U.S. owned pharmaceutical company?

so would that mean you can't even grow for yourself anymore or for just your patients either?:wtf:
this looks like to me then it will pretty much be illegal for the most part unless you sign your life away to 1 of these big shops?

retail sales? then i take that to mean caregivers can still have patients and deal on a 1 on 1 lvl? if so i'd be more for that then this bs that cuts people out altogether.

I swore there was something in this bill which was set out to kill delivery services, which is pretty much what one on one caregiving is.

I can't believe you guys are surprised at Romer after his "auditors with guns" speech - or didn't any one else hear him say "I promised I'd lead you to daylight" toward the end? That was the big dispensary trade group he was speaking to. I think it's pretty clear who he works for; anyone checked his campaign donation lists yet?
One thing for sure, this bill is for big money with meaty bones thrown in for the lawnorder bureaucrats - there is nothing here that makes sense to me as a patient, all I can see are government attempts to limit my choices.

yea i knew he was a snake and have been preaching it as so.but you have moles like high that seems like he's on the payrole as well.i don't see how he could be otherwise?how could this be good for 99% of the people/patients?and the fact that he sees this as a good thing is mind boggling to say the least.
so if i get this right caregivers will be completely illegal unless you are the big money guys that romer has set up to take over? high,how is this a good thing for anyone?lets see only the big shops make it so now everyone has to flock to them all over colorado? what about all those people that live so far up in the mountains that depend on small local growers to tend to their needs? besides all of that what about all the small people that put their life on the line in way of taking their savings to start being a caregiver? you know all these people will be marked as evil no good drug dealers again what about them?
so romer and the big money shops are good people but the small guy is an evil drug dealer really?i can't believe people are really for all of this?i guess they like cutting their own throats.....
