Colorado Dispensary Reviews

hey strain man,

diggin' the blog.

you wrote:

"After 8/30/2009, you no longer need to communicate change of caregiver status with the registry, so you're on your own to tell your caregiver yourself. As an added measure, you should fill out a Change of Caregiver form and in the primary caregiver area of the form, write the word 'NONE': Change Caregiver Form

after 8/30/2009, you MUST get it notarized before mailing to the state registry.

But in reality, folks, you don't have anything to worry about in any case because the state registry is no longer keeping track of who is who's patient/caregiver. The burden of proof will be on them to insure you didn't have a caregiver who is also growing out 6 plants for you. It'll be impossible for the DA to go after all but the largest of large gardens, so you and your 6 plants are safe."


can you direct me somewhere i can read more about this? i try to stay hip to the laws and this is one i haven't heard about.

thanks brother.

meh,


it still reads like you have to communicate caregiver change with the registry, just that you now have to have the form notarized.

is there a way that we, as caregivers, can check if we still have caregiver status with a patient or will we be notified when/if they give their status to someone else? if i were to grow for ten, but six dropped me without notice, seems i would be in a bit of a legal pickle.

should i keep photocopies of notarized caregiver change forms that list me as caregiver?

good question. Before 8/30/09 the registry attempted to keep track of caregiver-patient relationships, and they would attempt to send out notices regarding patient changes. That proved impossible, so the registry dropped it. THEY NO LONGER TRACK this info, so it's unclear why we even have to send in a change of caregiver form (notorized or not). Currently the only legal way for a patient to remove you as a caregiver is for said patient to write you a letter, call you on the phone, or verbally tell you in person that they no longer require your caregiver service. If your patients haven't done that, then you can legitamately consider them 'yours' still.

I have never had to purchase from a disp. in Colo. before( im a grower)but I was wondering...If I want to make a purchase do I have to sign them over as MY caregivger???Or how does it work? Thanks for the info! Peace....

Hi waterdog. The quick answer is NO, you do not have to make a dispensary your primary caregiver in 95% of the cases. There are a few dispensaries that require it, but those won't last long.

there is a new dispensery opening today sept 1st in golden.Does anyone know the address

Had a chance to go to the new Rocky Mountain Organic Medicine in Golden on opening day.Very nice and clean.the owner had about 8-10 strains in very small jars.The buds were a little small.He is not the grower.The sad thing about this new disp.is his prices very high.100.00 for qt.385.00 for a z.Wow what ever happened to caregiver.He also advertised the first 100 people wil get a free bud in a jar.That did not happen.In the last 6 months we are seeing so many new sellers to the seen.Alot of new stores.You will see in the next yr.how many will close if they do not drop their prices.If you are not growing then yes I do know your prices will be more but with small buds and high prices I will and can not afford to shop there. Shop owners some of us really do need our meds daily and only have so much to spend.Peace Jazz:mad:

Wow, with so many dispensaries charging $120+ for 1/4s, I don't see $100 being gouging at all.

Sorry you had a bad experience. Please come back for your sample. I have several that I am sure you will like.

Thanks for stopping by the store.
