Thinking about Denver area vs Albuquerque NM

[grfxdsnr]

most caregivers plan things so they never run out, ie harvest every month or couple weeks. I answered most of you're questions in the previous posts, some caregivers deliver, and some will grow multiple strains for their patient.

Thanks! Now that we have this established all we need to do is get the youngest graduated from college next May.

Then find a place to live. So many differing opinions on that one. haha

grfxdsnr Reviewed by grfxdsnr on 03-02-2010. Thinking about Denver area vs Albuquerque NM OK, New Mexico is doing a might fine job of convincing hubby and I to move there. BUT, Colorado is running neck and neck. Hubby has ms. Can't stand the cold, can't stand the heat. Both states have medical marijuana. Jim is preferring Colorado because he'll be able to get his meds easier than NM. Too cold and Jim hurts pretty good. Too hot and he melts. But, the weather is just a small factor in our decision. Give me a few good reasons why Colorado would be a better place to live. I Rating: 5

Hi all, I suppose I have been looking in the wrong place. I have heard of caregivers offering up to 1 ounce per month free for the caregiver status, but as far a actually finding one....nada. I must be looking at the other Craigslist.

Can't find one in Denver?? I just saw a couple ad's with caregivers looking for patients, one was only offering a 1/4 ounce per month though.

^Yeah, my bad. I'd thought I'd seen those kind of deals before but I was mistaken. I remember hearing someone on here saying they do that or close to that. That really is an unbelievable deal! I think a lot of people wouldn't have to pay a thing with that kind of deal. All I saw on CL when I was looking was the free monthly 1/4 too...

I just searched some more while I was looking for meds, theres tons of offers out there, just type in caregiver in denver craigslist.

One caregiver right now is offering a 50/50 split come harvest time :jointsmile: man is he going to end up getting the short end of the stick. Maybe his quality is poor and that's why he's offering so much. I just talked to a guy that posted an ad on craigslist looking for patients, goes by "Dr. Organics", he was willing to offer a 1/2 ounce/month and $225 an ounce to his patients. Says in his ad that hes been growing the same strain for 14 years(secret) and its won 4 cups, co authored two books, and he told me he teaches how to grow in Longmont. Also said his strains tested over 20% thc. :stoned:

Thanks, I will take another look. I appreciate it and just my two cents worth on the move decision - COLORADO all the way, you will not regret it!!:hippy:

I really do!, I have lived in New Mexico and it is a very beautiful state with lots to do and see, but Colorado, wow, there is no comparison to the beauty and diversity this state offers. The weather is fantastic, if you want the mountains, they are here. If the plains interest you, we got em and the desert is here as well. The largest sand dunes are right in Colorado. The Grand Junction area is known for producing some of the best sweet corn as well as to die for peaches and cherries. The canyonlands of Utah are well within a short days drive, the enchantment of New Mexico can be reached within a few short hours from most anywhere in the state and of course the People of Colorado have their heads on straight when it comes to the issue of medical marijuana. What else could a person want.

True, so very true.

Hi, another city in Colorado to consider would be Canon City. Canon City sits next to the Arkansas river in what is called the "Bannana Belt of Colorado" The climate there is typically 40-50's in winter and 70-90 in summer. The snow levels are always less there than most other places throughout Colorado. It sits on highway 50 for good access to the city of Pueblo to the east about 30 miles or so. Colorado Springs is about 30 miles to the North, the high rocky mountains are to the southwest/west with the wet mountain valley and Sangre De Cristo mountains less than a 45 minute beautiful car ride. I am partial to the Sangres as this is where I live. Canon is a big - small town. There is a hospital, walmart, city market/kroger, safeway, home depot a few restaraunts. It is a pretty cool little place and well within easy driving of Denver 1 1/2 hours north. The V.A. is also building a new hospital in Colorado Springs, only 1/2 hr drive. If your husband is treated by the Vets Admin as I am, there are stand alone VA clinics in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, I use the one in Pueblo and am happy with them there. Any major issues that they need to address they do send you to the main hospital in Denver, but that will change for us when the Springs VA center is constructed. I grew up in Denver and loved it, but 4 years ago made the move to the wet mountain valley and now I do not miss a city at all. I am disabled and while the mountain living can get a little tough at times, I do not believe I could live in a real city ever again. I do make the trip to Denver every 2-3 months for Dr. appts. and to visit friends and family, a 2 1/2 drive for me so not too bad. The main benefit that I would offer to you for Denver is that the world class spine injury center Craig hospital is in Englewood, next to Denver. Colorado has it all!! Peace to you and your husband wherever you end up, and always be happy.

I only heard they are building a new hospital to replace the old Denver one. If they are building a hospital in Colorado Springs that makes this move even better!!!! Of course a spinal cord injury building would be nice but I doubt they would build two so close to each other. I bet they'll have a spinal cord injury team though!

Where can I find more info on the new hospital in Colorado Springs? Wow, you've just made my frickin' day!!!!!
