they TRIED to limit dispensaries to 6 patients. I'm pretty sure it got shot down.

The one part of the new legislation they're trying to push (they're always trying to push something new on the MMJ industry) is to require dispensaries to grow at least 70% of their product...something that will limit small growers because they tend to sell their "overage" to the dispensaries. $1000 a quarter pound on average.

Really, the big California growers that swept in to the state when the original limit for patients for dispensaries was lifted, have lots of money...and lots of lobbyists...and lots of politicians. What they're trying to do is push out the Coloradans with start up grow businesses and keep it all to themselves. They want to "Wal-Mart" the industry.

That's why it's important for you to ensure you and your friends with their cards always buy from Colorado growers. To be exact, people you know are Coloradans. That have had roots here. Not Californians living in Colorado because they saw a new market they could expose and corner.

This industry is doing a lot to keep Colorado from going over the economic brink like so many other cities/states. The amount of jobs it's creating is large. Grow shops, dispensaries, big growers, contractors to build grow rooms (i.e. electricians, carpenters)...they all need workers. A lot of people are getting their cards and creating start up businesses by growing.

It's really a wonderful time in Colorado for Marijuana. It's also being threatened by out of staters with greed on their mind.
