I remember back in November saying that the appearance of dispensaries on every corner in Denver is going to FASTTRACK them to some harsh legislation we don't want!!
It's hard to contain the entrepreneurial spirit obviously, but I wish all of our second-rate dispensaries would've maybe never opened up and just done under-the-radar grows...

This really is the reason that the legislation will not fail. Shit, I'm 100% for pot, but I'm a little disgusted at all the dispensaries I see when I drive down certain areas. I mean there's fuckin' neon pot signs everywhere. I totally understand the average citizens concern that this is a runaway freight train. Not many people want to see their neighborhood turn into a coffeeshop district!!

Just playing devil's advocate here, but I think that our explosion caused this backlash. Too bad we couldn't have done some regulating on the front end... maybe making dispensaries a little harder to open up... rather than legislating on the back-end and making them impossible to run... therefore closing most of them down...

But that IS the intent really. They want less dispensaries... so they are getting there way... they are just taking a big shit on a bunch of entrepreneurs as they do it. Bankrupting many and robbing them of their lifesavings. Way to go!!
they are going to use what you said here to not only stop that part of it but also to further the true agenda which is to take back the right that was voted on.maybe not directly but make it so fuck'd up that the leo and state will be able to do as they plz and you will have no say in it.i say if this happens we all know deep down the only right way to act from there.just us knowing what they are doing is'nt right at all just talking and bitching won't cut it.i say we are in the first stage of our goal here.we are trying to do the right things by writing letters and so on.if that don't work we move to stage 2 "lawyers" then if that does'nt work......research history......other than that i say be happy as a pawn that you are in all of this cause it's either stand up or lay down...
