Get real.

The State is requiring the dispensaries to grow their own and cut off the caregiver sales because of REVENUE/TAX INCOME...nothing else. This is the SAME reason CM has to buy tomatoes from licensed seller. It ISN'T about >quality<, it is about tracking $$$ to collect TAXES ON THOSE SALES.

Nothin more.

Ditto with MMJ.... The Revenue Dept cares not about the QUALITY of the pot grown, just want you to grow and sell as much "medical marijuana" as you can so they can collect tax money off it. Nothing else. Don't be fooled into thinking ANY of this was done with the average patient in mind or that it is about "quality control". It isn't. It's about the MONEY.

No, King Soopers doesn't buy local produce. That's why the tomatoes are green and hard..just like the fruit. It's MASS PRODUCED and held in cold storage until needed...and it's dumped on the market for the consumer to buy "as is", which is usually a gig where you have to take it home and ripen it (in the MMJ world, DRY IT OUT cus the dispensary sold it wet for weight) before you can eat it.

Welcome to the world of mass produced warehouse "med" pot! Coming soon to a patient near you....
You are absolutely 100% correct. And my tomatoes are WAY better than King Soopers' too!
