Everything we've seen from Chris in Highlands Ranch to the North Metro Task Force's nazi like tactics are all designed to get rid of caregivers, one of the few things A20 supposedly protects. The intent is to get rid of caregivers, plain and simple, and if we dont fight this now we're fucked. Once again it all comes down to who has the most money and it is exactly why we got screwed to begin with. I agree with copobo, we need to organize and fast. One problem is growers are the most paranoid of the bunch and for the most part have remained silent.
A person whom I trust to be truthfull and was in the infused product business until recently attended a meeting with a group of individuals to discuss strategy after the passing of 1284. Several dispensaries and infused products folks were represented at this meeting and one of the top folks there, did not get her name but she claimed to have been involved with the mmj movement since it's inception displayed a flow chart in which " centers " were at the top, then the growers alongside the infused product people, and off to the side with no connection in the flow were the caregivers as defined by ammendment 20. A question was asked why the caregivers were off to the side on their own and the reply was basically " We are not too concerned with them as they will be phased out in a few years " not verbatim but the meaning is /was there.

Zep, you are right about the Amendment being for the patient/caregiver and the resulting monopolies that 1284 is creating. Patients rights are not going to matter if this movement continues on it's current path. Everyone will be forced back undeground or required to obtain their medicine from a select group of very wealthy dispensary owners and their cronies. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOLKS
Colodonmed Reviewed by Colodonmed on . we need patients + caregivers advocacy there needs to be a political action group with just the patients and small caregivers interests in mind. it doesn't seem like anyone is doing that. it's the businesses that are represented... cuz that's where the $$ is.
