Can you copyright a naturally occurring molecule?

I really do not know, that is what I was wondering. I know what they told me but then again a lot of folks tell me things, and I have learned that just because they believe it does not mean it's true.....lol

Most of the dispensaries where i live are owned by people not even from my community. They setup shop in mountains so they can charge high prices to the patient, and lowball the growers. Nothing is going back to the community. Most of the dispensaries ive seen are just greedy middlemen.



ps. CCF is cool, i think you guys are one of the few quality erb shops in CO.

I have never sold a $60.00 1/8 in my life, and since we have been open I have collected and paid close to $100,000.00 in sales tax. My Town of 2000 gets 3.75% of that. I rolled into Nederland from Toledo in 1979 and this is my third business I have had in Nederland. Instead of complaining about things, get off your ass and do something! so that guy selling you a bag on the slopes isn't a middle man? Face it man the times have changed and your bitter that you haven't kept up. Get your head out of the sand and join the rest of us who are trying to get this legal in all 50 States. Join us or else join the other side!:mad:

agreed. this biggest problem right now is growers not having a sales tax license and not paying their taxes. Yeah, taxes suck, but it also makes it more legit and professional. we grow about 70%-90% (depending on where we are in our cycle) so when vendors come in we are extremely picky. It has to look good, smell good and taste good-even then, it's our customers that decide if we keep it. If we don't know you or the strand but like it, then we only buy an ounce and if our customer base likes it we will buy more. I have about 10 patients that have tried growing for themselves-not one produced a first crop that I would ever, ever buy. It's a learning process-so these people that quit their job and jump into growing are going to be dissapointed. You are going to need quite a few crops under your belt before you can really dial it in.

I disagree. B2B sales for resale are not subject to sales tax in CO. Growers would just about always be selling to resellers (dispensaries). Of course we want to push allot of this underground with the new legislation, so *poof* we take most of the life out of a revenue source that hasn't yet had a chance to establish itself.
