I should also say- welcome to the world of unregulated, half-illegal Cannabis-

Since the government can't seem to get their shit together and completely legalize and regulate Cannabis, it is therefore still regulated by the underground market, which, is what makes the rules right now, and likely will hold influence for a fair amount of time to come. Again I fully support low-income patient discounts at dispensaries, but this is the reality of the world we live in. Hell, I wish it was free. Too bad that doesn't make it so.

My problem isn't directly with Big Pharma, the DEA, local police, etc. MY problem is with all of US that we cant yet pass a ballot initiative outright legalizing this plant, state by state, until the federal gov't has no choice but to buckle. Despite the massive power of the institutionalized resistance(DEA, ONDCP, NIDA etc), the sheer masses of this country are, indeed, more powerful. We all can stop complaning as soon as WE change the laws. Be active and vocal and NOT JUST ON CANNABIS MESSAGE BOARDS where you preach to the choir. Restricted MMJ in colorado is a good first step, but there are many more to take, and only THEN will you see the price of your medicine dip.

Prescription or not, it is what it is and it costs what it costs, region by region. Welcome to Colorado Keep informing eachother and keep voting-
peace
