You can complain all you want about businessman type collectives but growers are also trying to make a buck for themselves. If you want good quality low cost medicine, grow it yourself. Growers, you want a better price for your hard work, open up your own collective. :rasta:

I agree when marijuana become more legal the price will drop. However, if you really think about it is becoming less legal. This new bill they claim will shut down 80% of the dispensaries, it will limit caregiver to 5 patients etc. To me that is not making it more legal it is making it more illegal in a round about way.

What will happen is they will shut down all the mom and pop places, then the big money backed dispensaries "you know the ones that put money into Romers elections pocket under the table" will take over like wal-mart did then all the smaller stores that are left and caregivers that are left will be pushed out.

You must be thinking, well they cannot push me out....Well as my grandfather use to say.....money talks and bullshit walks.

Once they take over the vast majority of it, then grease a few more hands some time down the road, they will pass another bill, it will say something like. If you are a grower/caregiver you have to apply for zone, have to pass fire safety inspections, health dept inspections $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Or you have to have some type of medical training "something simple" maybe a year or two course to be able to give out medication. Because if you really think about it, they are calling marijuana a medicine and we all know to get medicine that is prescribed by a DR you have to be a college grad with about 10 years of college under you belt.

So, yes with the right laws they could put all of us out of business with a stroke of a pen and never change the Constitution
