I also like the fact that caregivers can grow without ever seeing the face of a DPHE inspector, a cop, or a revenoor. That seems to me to be the intent of A20.

I agree.

Also...not all caregivers are beating MMCs in price or quality. Many of them at least charge the same and claim better quality. I've experienced this and heard of it with other patients.

B. Brown in Thornton gives no free meds and offers 300/ounces of only 2 different strains. And that's if he's your primary!!!! When price and variety were mentioned he got mad and said find a new caregiver I've already got copies of your paperwork, try craigslsit. Never heard from him again. There's a POS if you're looking for one. Should he get more patients? No.

I also agree with some others that mentioned not enough basement growers spoke up when it mattered.
