printing that map is akin to printing the times an armored carrier shows up at which liquor stores to collect their deposits.

SERIOUSLY EFFED!

Are you referring to me?

Thank you SpringsGrower! I have know taken and loaded the picture, it is not very clear, but at least it confirms my honesty. Just wanted you folks to know that the article and map were out there.

I apologize. I saw your post and tried to find the map, and I didn't find it online, so I doubted your claim since you didn't back it up at the time. That's not your fault, but it seems pretty fucking crazy to publish a map of home grows. It's incredible. I don't live in aurora so I don't have access to a paper copy, which appears to be the only place the map is published. I found the article online, and there isn't a map. If I'm not finding it, I'm surprised no one else posted it to make me look 'stupid'. That's why I said your original post was untrue, because the article online didn't match the paper version. That's obvious to anyone with an IQ above 65, yet the haters continue to hate (I'm not talking about you). That's fine, laughable and sophomoric.

To everyone else reading this thread: the comprehension level of the people here seems appalling. I appreciate the hate though, I'd be pissed if I grew and had to remain compliant moving forward. Registering as a caregiver in any capacity means your grow could be on a map like this sometime. That's scary as hell. Feel free to hate me all you want, I don't post here to make friends. I follow the rules, and if that involves discussing topics that upset regular posters, I'm sorry. Change the rules then.

SprngsCaregiver:
I thought we agreed to disagree. You were offended at a comment in which you mistakenly thought I compared you, as a legal, compliant caregiver, to an illegal meth lab. Since that post, you've made several troll-baiting posts in threads where I've posted. What's your problem? I simply asked that you stop responding to my posts if you don't like them.

As a result of your troll baiting, you've created a TON of work for the probably unpaid moderators here. It's unproductive and ridiculous if you're over the age of 14, and you've made the moderators delete posts, delete or edit threads where there was otherwise valuable information.

Do you understand that your troll-baiting behavior doesn't do anything positive here? I fully expect to be seen and viewed as an 'other', someone who recently started in this industry, as opposed to the underground guys who are the vast majority of people reading this site/thread. I don't care.

Other:
The mods questioned why I was making semi off-topic posts, and I responded that I didn't know that new posters could create new topics. I have never posted on a forum that doesn't allow posting of emails in some cases, doesn't allow private messages etc. I'm still getting used to the site, so I apologize to the mods for creating more work for them.

I created a new thread of my own, and since I'm the asshole, no one is responding. Ok. Either the people reading the thread are scared to discuss compliance or they are not ready to admit their guilt and would rather remain willfully ignorant, that's fine, I don't care. I can't say that enough.

This site continues to be a very good tool to use for current events etc, and I plan on following the rules and continuing to post here. I'm sorry if that makes you mad.

The more I read about how much control cook had with everything, the more pissed I get. And I'm nowhere close to the general public, I've been smoking for years and got my doc reco/app in Oct. 09. With all of the readers of this site and this thread who don't respond, it's not surprising at all that this went through. All of you caregivers with more than 5 patients got screwed, I can see your vitriol. What did you do before the legislation went through to publicize your side? It seems like you were lazy, did nothing and hoped for the best. Now you guys seem to be blaming the MMC's for the 5 patient cap. wtf.

It seems that the lawyers/corryclan had a lot to do with the wording of the legislation, since they appear to be in favor of it as it stands. Is there anyone actually standing up for the legislation? It seems mattcook is just answering questions with 'it was a public policy decision'. What does that even mean? I don't expect a reply though.

Good times.

someone please save cologrower420 from himself. he doesn't have anything better to do but type type type all day long on this forum. He baits people and then plays the misunderstood innocent. I swear he's going to type his little fingers right to the bone. :smokin:

I do. I've always been in the "legalize it, tax it, regulate it" camp of marijuana activists. There are some parts of 1284 that I believe can and will be whittled away by the courts, but I'm glad it passed and glad it's being enforced. I believe the bill will generate revenue that pays for the program's administration and enriches the state. I believe added health and safety requirements, background checks, and felon prohibitions will protect me as a consumer. Finally, and I've said it dozens of times, I believe it's right and proper for communities to ban MMCs if they so desire. All of these things seem onerous to people in this industry, but then again all regulations appear that way to the people whose businesses and livelihoods are affected.

Come up with something different to say. I spend all day on the computer, and it takes seconds to make a post, so it's slightly ridiculous to infer that I spend all of my time making posts here.

I don't think I am misunderstood for a second, why do you insult me while ignoring the content of my posts?

I will absolutely admit that I made a post meant to incite discussion with the meth lab comment, and I guess that means I 'baited' people. Is that against the posting rules?

Thanks for responding.

I totally understand that there are people in this industry and this movement that genuinely care about the patient and the product. However, there is also the sub category of lazy stoners who grow for profit and don't pay taxes on those profits. Those are the people who are most negatively affected by 1284 and 109. My point is, the people who are complaining don't appear to have done much in the way of campaigning against 1284 and 109. Obviously the lack of posts implies the same.

those most negatively effected by 109 and 1284 are the patients who were set up with small time caregivers. While you've admitted you smoke for fun, many actually need cannabis to get through their day.

You see, many caregivers gave free meds to patients in need, now many of these "greedy" caregivers had to let patients go (who got free meds) and now can't supply for free to their 5, as they can't sell legally to dispensaries, which is how they paid the bills. I'm afraid you don't have an historical perspective into how this has gone in Colorado up until the point where you jumped in for fun, so it looks like greed to you. Unfortunately, in order to protect dispensaries we passed 1284 and 109, and many non-profit caregivers were forced to send patients away, and to start charging those who were previously served for free.
