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.
