This post will probably get removed but there are lots & lots of other forums.
This particular Colorado subforum is probably the smallest but still fairly active compared to other sites. Do a search with terms like: Colorado medical marijuana forum cannabis thc seeds growing thread garden 420 subforum farmer cure magazine CO MMJ - using a couple of those terms & other like them should bring up a ton of other sites.

Each forum seems to have a slight theme/bias. This one tends to have more new people (this CO subforum at least), another I frequent tends to deal with more commercial/caregiver issues, another talks more personal grows. There are also sites that deal just with MMCs & give people opportunity to review them - unfortunately I think most of those sites allow their MMC advertisers to screen their own reviews.

Also unfortunate some Colorado subforums have gotten shut down as people start talking about trading, selling, buying dried flowers. This isn't allowed on most sites. Once OverGrow got shut down (it was probably the biggest cannabis related forum at the time) - it changed the way a lot of sites handle things. There are reasons sites have certain rules - for the most part it's to help keep them from getting shut down.

One thing I do wish this site had that many other sites have is a private messaging system. I'm sure they had one here at one point but people probably abused it and the site needed to cover it's @ss.

FYI - there are sites & forums that are completely specific to Colorado Medical Marijuana but I've found most to not be very active so far. The site owners/managers are trying but I think just being specific to Colorado is a bit too limiting to encourage a lot of activity.

Long story short - there are other sites that allow one to post about a bad experience and this one does too but within reason. I don't think the mods here have a problem if you start a thread, telling your experience. If it just turns into a rant or a flame war back & forth - it'll get closed/deleted and that goes for most other forums too.

All of these sites take time & money to run. Mods of any forum cannabis related or not have a tough job keeping things in check. Cannabis forums have even more to worry about as they don't want any run-ins with law enforcement and risk being shut down.

Good luck & maybe I'll see ya around other forums too.
