I firmly believe that this is an attempt to be seen to do SOMETHING, even if it is counterproductive.
This Something, i.e., changing the caregiver definition, muddles an already murky rule. I think CDPHE saw an opportunity to throw in a monkey wrench to upset the momentum, i.e., the fast growth of dispensaries. So now, does the caregiver have to provide a list of services beyond selling meds, like the example in the newspaper refers to: cooking meals and shopping? What if my patient doesn't want me to cook for them (a completely understandable concern), or anything else other than provide meds? Do they have sign some kind of declination of services form?

What of the growers? Do they have to become affiliated with dispensaries that do provide more than just selling meds in order to be covered?

Now for the endless debates and confusion regarding clarifying this action...
