FEDS given go ahead to bust dispensaries!!!!!!!

I think almost everyone around here agrees marijuana should be legal for personal use, but without some taxes and some regulation, cities, towns and states will not allow the retail sale of marijuana.

Learn to grow dude is all I can say.....I use nothing but scrogs and veg for 8 weeks...but then again I guess you can pull a pound a plant using a 20 watt cfl and a picture of the sun pinned on the wall......

As far as greed is concerned, I have 5 patients that I supply 1 zip a month to at NO cost. They are all terminal patients and when they pass I will take on others. Don't throw rocks around your glass house....I would actually like to see them change the laws to terminal patients only and all the lying ass potheads can face their time in jail for making things more difficult for legitimate patients who actually NEED cannabis. I would say easily 70-80% of people holding a card now are doing nothing more than working the system. If you do not qualify for SS disability and a disabled plate on your car then tough shit. Sometimes the truth hurts but this is the way I feel and there is nothing anyone can do to change my stance.

I understand there is overhead with running a dispensary, rent, power bills, wages, insurance for employees, etc. I would bet my last nickel that when the Fed's come in and open the books after a raid that there is an enormous amount of undeclared profits being funneled to the operators pockets, all while paying pretty girls who could not grow a rock garden 10 dollars an hour to draw in business. The biggest problem is how they get over on government. The people in Montana got busted for greed alone. There is no law that prevents a patient from being a member of several different dispensaires. So if a dispensary can grow say 5 plants per patient and this patient belongs to 5 different dispensaires, then in theory there are 25 plants being grown in different locations for this one patient. Even if the patient has a negative experience and decides to never return to a dispensary, their name is on the books as a number of plants and does nothing more than line the pockets of the operator.

I think the easiest way to get the dispensaires in check is to eliminate the right of a patient to belong to multiple dispensaires. This will force higher quality from the dispensaries in order to maintain a patient base. Those who do not will go out of business. If your overhead is costing you 5 dollars per gram of cannibis over the counter then this is your cost as a NON-PROFIT. Not 15 dollars, not 20 dollars. This movement was begun on the grounds that legitimate medical patients would be taken care of. Now is has become greed, not weed. So let them rot in jail I say. This is the price that must be paid for working the system and using the illnesses of other human beings to pad your pockets. Eventually the federal government WILL regulate the process and there will be an acceptable equilibrium within the medical cannabis community. Until this time comes, dispensaires will have to roll the dice and take the chance of getting a good spanking from government. The thing that really confuses me is did these people actualy think that Obama would stay in office forever? Did they not think that as soon as a conservative administration or congress took back over that things would not go back to the Bush era? I can not say if Obama will be in office for an additional term. However, if he is not then that would mean a republican would be in office and all the gloves would be off as far as LEO is concerned. If you honestly think someone like Gringrich or Romney would allow dispensaires to remain open then you are sadly mistaken. The best thing about all of this is that the feds will not go after the small growers, at least not immediately. So there will always be some sort of supply around.

If you live in Colorado,PLEASE MOVE I agree with senorx Wotadick.
