If we are making distinctions I would say the "colorado model" is better protected and allows for greater patient privacy.

Because we have regulations that govern and protect the retail model here, patients have a greater assurance that who they are dealing with is trustworthy, accountable, and on record for owning, or being apart of the business.

Here at denver relief we have our bud-room set up with 4 bank teller booths that allow for private conversation even if others are in the room.

In my opinion bringing the sale into the light of day will do much more for the marijuana movement than restricting it to deals between friends.
