I hear almost nothing from growers but about how this will effect them and there profits. Some growers I know made 250k 300k and up, tax free!

It's a shame that the few good growers and dispensaries are being put out of business and all I'm left with are the assholes.

That being said, even as bad as it can get with dispensaries and growers, I still don't want MMJ being taking over by big money and the government. I feel this these bill was a big step in that direction.

I realize these comments are not going to win me any friends, but I'm tried of the bullshit. Marijuana should be legal for people who suffer with heath problems everyday and to those who just want to relax and have a good time.
I'm in SW Colorado. Around here, the dispensaries are not owned by money hungry, hateful and shady people. They cannot operate at a loss, but the owners I know, with the exception of a couple who were trying to exploit growers even before 1284, aren't trying to exploit this situation. They are trying to adjust, just like the growers are trying to adjust. No one knows yet what is going to happen relative to application fees and application for a license doesn't necessarily mean they will be approved. This clusterfuck is going to take a while to unravel as it becomes obvious that it is FUBAR, even to the "authorities".

Something written that many should understand by many: We're all fighting harder than anyone can imagine to keep this industry moving forward - wherever you shop, give those whatever due respect you can b/c they're putting their lives on the line to keep it going, for money, love, or just to make a living and enjoy what they're doing. And for those that think MMCs are making a killing, wait until 2012 when half of them really close because of the IRS tax laws that will prove that cash in Rating: 5
