The session was helpful, but also leaves questions dangling about whether or not small independent growers can be expected to get squashed by well financed dispensaries which can afford to rent big--excuse me-huge spaces (which they will have to be to grow enough to distribute to an estimated 100,000 patients statewide by year's end). Even with a 70/30 program, those dispensary ops will be big, unless they just start buying their grower's homes, heh.
As an experienced gardener, no kids or schedule , I'm in position to be part of this legitimately, really just having trouble finding a rental with an informed & "on board" landlord has been my only hangup in the cgiver dept. **Hint-looking for a place to rent in SW CO people, llord first patient on my cgiver list even better...
MJ has been a theraputic part of my life for over twenty years, and is a treasure to this world. Why is the Legislature so bent on making it so hard for independents, like me, to do something they love for a living? Oh, because I can't afford my own lobby group. Great. Let's hope for the best folks.
