HB-1284 Posed to ReVive the Black Market in Colorado

[MMJinColorado]

Well I've noticed tiny spots of PM on my Godbud and mites on several plants (seem pretty under control at the moment, haven't seen a live one in a while, just eggs that don't seem to be hatching, which I've been scraping off/smashing). Done with the neem and Safer soap, might have to hit them with Azatrol/Azamax late in flower if they come back, but hopefully it's under control. The PM I hit with some milk/water combo and it seems to have helped (haven't noticed any new leaves with growth on them)... I'm in Week 3 of flowering so hopefully I can get through it and clean everything out before getting the next batch in.

I have 2 Trainwrecks that I've grown from seed, but they might both be males or hermies.. who the hell knows? Such a tough way to grow in this system, total crapshoot -- I might have to start from seed again if they're males and that'll put the next harvest 5-6 weeks out (to get a worthwhile veg).

But yeah, it just sucks having a harvest even possibly compromised because purchasing clones is the easiest way to grow when you have a 6 plant limit. I'd much rather grow from seed and start breeding, etc., but it's just very difficult to do that in a worthwhile manner while staying below the plant limit according to the letter of the law. You almost need to be a caregiver for at least one other person to make a seed operation worth it at all, especially if male plants/seedlings/clones count against the limit.

^Cool! Sounds like the bill is becoming more reasonable as it gets tossed around.



This is surprising! I don't understand what this entails... Since we have plant limits, how will this work? Are they saying that between you and your caregiver you can have 6 plants? So maybe they could grow 3 and you could grow 3? I don't really understand what he/she means by this. This would actually make it very hard for them to enforce any kind of plant limits! I don't have a problem with that at all, but it seems kind of odd that they wouldn't realize that...

Right now the bill states that when you sign over your rights to caregiver you are signing over your plants and therefor can't grow ANY for yourself. not keep 2 and your caregiver gets 4..you can't grow ANY. Right now you can sign over your caregiver and still grow your own 6 plants.

The other thing about this bill that bothers me is that the patient limit is still up for there as "any one primary caregiver cannot serve more than 5 patients on the registy at any given time". what does that mean? how will dispensaries get their supply when they have to grow 80% of their own stock and you can't serve more than 5 people????

i read the whole bill last night. it's nothing but contradiction after contradiction. **rolls eyes**

I called about 4 different house representatives of my disproval and reminded them that it was election time.
