It's been quite the scam/sham, hasn't it? Before last summer the patient-base was keeping fair pace with the needs of those who were truly qualified to enter the program. Yes there were glitches and it took pop-po awhile to get on board, but we were certainly making progress and NO ONE WAS REALLY WATCHING what was going on behind the scenes!

It wasn't until the dispensaries started signing up anyone with the $$ to play and started CREATING a larger need for "medical" marijuana that the illusion was created that there was a need for more dispensaries. (i, e. "supply") Once the neon pot leaves hit and the roadside signs went up the 'secret' game we had going was exposed and the changes came down the sewer pipe for all.

I like yer unregulated scenario, senor, especially in the marijuana world. Such legality and prevelance would squish this cureent >greed-based< model flat and would seperate out, much as we had previously/before july 20th 2009, those who are in this to help others and interested in moving things forward at a reasonable pace, and those who are only in this for themselves.

more change will come and I'll wager it won't be in favor of the current model.
