As a grower in Colorado since 95, I agree bro. Didn't mean to strike a cord just voicing my opinion. Thats why I don't usually post on these forums as I feel like people can just be SO mean with their responses.

With that being said, honey, my sister owns Herbal Connections. I'm not against the dispensaries its what I have worked for for 15 years! I just honestly thought it would be different, but I guess that's my ignorance. I did not forsee the demise of 20 plus of my family members existence, an existence they we have perfected for over a decade, as you have. That my friends will fall is what makes me sad. We should all have a fair shot in this game.... period. And the pro's would prevail be it CG or MMC
Your right as an end user you may get your meds from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone etc... and yes it may be crappy. But by golly gee... Colorado has some damn good DAMN GOOD (albeit few and far between) growers! ...and YES there are also money mongers who want to make money, grow shitty shit, drive to cali bring in crap. They look at a friend who grows and say 'wow i can do that'.... trust me i have seen it time and time and time and time again and let me tell you they never last long.....
I have taught MANY people to grow. MANY and maybe .5 percent kept with it. NOw we have EVERYONE who was to chicken shit to do when it was illegal are now doing it so there is now more shitty product around. My sister tells me she will get 27 vendors a day and 95% is crap! 95%!!!!!! All i'm saying is the BM weeds out the weasels a little. Are they still there yes !
And once again i'm wholeheartedly against the BM making a return. Just making an observation.
