with both non-profits I'm on board with got nearly identical rejection letters at the last review, it's clear that we won't see any more producers anytime soon, at least to me. My prediction is January 2011.sorry kids. and even sorrier is that the new producers will be a stone's throw ( sorry) from santafe

Since the office is so understaffed, who is going to inspect the producers to assure they aren't selling mold weed, or worse commercial schawg they buy from somebody else? The program is underdesigned in many areas for accountability.

This may be just another reason no remote location dispensers have been approved. Who's going to pay the staff or provide a state car to inspect (gasp) a marijuana production facility when our schoolkids go hungry?..when the railrunner stations have litter on them? It's a day trip minimum and who wants to drive on some badly paved road anyway?

The article says nothing new, except a nice plug for an internet radio station.

Find a link to contact your local and state reps in another post of mine. This in my very humble opinion is the ONLY way to get some movement. See my other posts for specific rantings and facts on the politics of this program. I had higher ( sorry) hopes for this when I selected two non-profits to join.

if not for the federal problem, the state could produce all we need and distribute it thru licensed liquor stores or (gasp) pharmacies, but no doubt the local drug store only wants to give vicodin to housewives..they don't want a bunch of stoners showing up in wheelchairs looking for medication.
