You don't have to designate ANYBODY as your care giver. You should be able to walk into any dispensary and purchase as little as a gram and up to 2oz in the state of Colorado.

Any dispensary that tries to make you their care giver is not the place you want to shop.

I can walk into a dispensary in my area and simply show them my application (taken 8 weeks so far and still no card). I can purchase anywhere from 1 gram up to the legal limit of 2oz.

I am a new patient, so I like to try out all kinds of different strains. So far, I have purchased 3 times from the same dispensary. First time I bought 2 grams - 4 different strains. A total of 8 grams - but 4 different kinds. 2nd time I purchased 4 grams of one that I liked from my first visit and also 1 gram each of 3 more different kinds. 7 grams total. My third visit, again 4 grams of the kind I liked from before and again 3 or 4 different strains but only 1 gram each.

I am keeping an excel spread sheet to track my experiences with each strain. I have a bunch of metal pins, bolts and rods in my back from a nasty fall off a ladder in 2005. I've had 3 surgeries on my back and my L-5, S-1 are now fully fused and bolted.

For me, I don't want that baked out of my mind Indica high. It gets you high as a kite, but it seams to intensify the pain receptors. I feel the pain even more on an Indica strain. I prefer a more mellow Sativa because it gives greater pain relief low in my back and in the muscles around the area where all the metal rods and bolts are located. Sativa seams to be better for the muscle spasms and contractions that cause me so much grief on a daily basis.
