From a westword article:
Robert Chase says:

Joel et alia, What makes you think that Tvert represents "Big Pot" (at least, directly), or, more to the point, that dispensaries will support re-legalization? I think that dispensaries would benefit from re-legalization by being the only established retail outlets for cannabis at the point that the number of legal consumers increases by an order of magnitude, but most profiteers are focused on short-term profit, not political education or organization, and not on ending Prohibition. It remains to be seen whether dispensaries will ever take effective political action, or what the ultimate effect on patients and dispensaries of SB109 and HB1284 will be, but the future of medicinal cannabis under this unconstitutional and possibly prohibitive regulatory scheme is definitely in question.

There can be no question that caregivers' rights are under assault -- the extraconstitutional limitations of caregivers to five patients and the extraconstitutional determination that they can be made into personal assistants are wrong, and can and should be challenged in the courts. Dispensaries, ostensibly the places where caregivers dispense cannabis, became MMCs overnight, debarred even from employing caregivers. Our enemies have succeeded in codifying what was happening anyway: turning control of the commerce in cannabis over to the capitalists. They have created these people a client class, which dances attendance on Matt Cook and hangs on his every word. Not only is it ugly, it is quite clear that MMCs are along for the ride, and lack the gumption to organize their own patients politically, much less the ambition to tell the public at large that it is time to end Prohibition.

This speaks volumes to the laziness and apathy of patients and caregivers. It's really, really sad. So quick to complain, so slow to act.
