Too bad if they are not happy with your decision to file this, I would risk saying that the majority of patients and caregivers are ecstatic!!, Way to go Kathleen!
I agree. At this point if your MMC does not have literature or signs or if they haven't even mentioned to their patients what is going on, patients should ask them why not and then run! (and take your paperwork with you!)

I want to let everyone know that I was contacted by 2 MMC applicants who said thank you after my filing. Colorado Care on Iris in Boulder and North Fork Natural Healing in Peonia. They are concerned for themselves and their patients and are educating their patients on this issue. And NFNH is being closed by a local ban in March.

In the long run, when they start closing most MMC's down, like NFNH, they will see that this petition is their only ray of light. It's good for everyone. And if they still say it isn't good for them, then you know they loved the fact that their competition was kicked out by 1284, because that is all 1284 did--cut out the constitutionally protected patients and caregivers from providing their overflow to other patients and caregivers in need.

And I agree, patients and caregivers are ecstatic! The positive response from them has flowed. I really don't care if 1000 people in the state who applied for this draconian statute MMC status hate me. Almost 3 million people are residents and will be affected by this either directly, as they are a patient or a caregiver, or they have a family member who will be a patient or a caregiver. 1 in 3 people in CO gets some form of cancer. That's 33% of the population qualifying for mmj on cancer alone.

So not having support from those who want me to be disqualified from my constitutional RIGHTS is not a loss for me. It's a good riddance. http://boards.cannabis.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Patients NEED to educated themselves on who is on their team.
