So if we want to lose this one and lose BIG then lets just keep telling them we need our meds (which they already know and don't really care) as our primary argument and watch them whip this bill right on though. TBH, we should not be here debating this point we should be on the phone to all the house members with fresh new arguments of why not to pass this bill. Which we all know will nearly kill MMJ as we now know it in Colorado if enacted and left uncontested. As I said before though, even after this passes (and it will) we still have a gaggle of lawyers who are just itching to file the paperwork for the impending lawsuit when this passes. But, we should do everything we can BEFORE that point so we don't end up waisting MORE money on bad bills that range well into the thousands and thousands of dollars to pay the legislature to come up with stupid bills like Romer's 109 or 1284. When the suit is filed, then money has to be spent on lawyers, court costs, research, submissions/petitions/briefs to the court, evidence gathering/submission, in court time, blah, blah, blah. This ALL costs money and who ends up paying in the end? You, me, and the rest of the tax payers here in the great state of Colorado! We've waisted enough money we don't have on this insipid bill; letâ??s not waist any more money if we can at all avoid it.

So please see my argument for what it is and not for what itâ??s not. It is a GOOD reason NOT to pass this bill, no more; no less. I'm not trying to limit people. In fact, it's been a driving force in my life to fight for "freedom" for all.

This wasnâ??t the debate I expected to have over my post. I thought others would find wording offensive.

i understand what you are trying to do but it's really not the way to go.where it passes or not people that grow will not change.as it sits right now people can grow in their homes all they want.if it passes there will still be shops just not as many.instead of people buying from the shops they will turn to the people that supply the shops now the caregiver.all in all it will be cutting out the middle man for alot of people.but with adding you can't have over 5 patients in this will drive up price.now you will be able to go past that but you will pretty much have to be a partner with a shop.either way it won't change the amount of people that are or are not growing very much.but by bring that subject up it would inturn back "fire" on you and give them the idea that growing on your own is bad cause you will burn your house down.even tho it's so far from the truth.
