Reader: Medical marijuana dispensaries need to sell out of state to survive

knowa1

If it were legal it would be pennies a pound how ever with the horticulture talents of strain masters, there will always be some that command a higher price,such as wine. Any step forward is step, any must be taken

>Local Marijuana Ban Violates State Law, Judge Rules

As it is in California so it goes in Colorado, right?

"Riverside Superior Court Judge Ronald Taylor's Aug. 3 ruling stated that a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries is pre-empted by state law. That echoes a recent ruling by a state appellate court, which found that local governments cannot completely ban medical marijuana outlets without providing an alternative distribution method."

@IcePick Thanks for the info and the link, IcePick.

@IcePick = clueless

Colorado STATE law allows for Local Bans, dipshit.

That's part of the "legitimization" that MMIG and other Dispensary Carpetbaggers begged the Government for.

@DonkeyHotay Lol, you are telling me what the law says now but when you point to California we are all supposed to what jump for joy?

Yes, point is the dispensaries in LA are not going away... just like Robert said. I wonder what else he told us that is true...

YES ON A64!

@IcePick You really are quite insane, aren't you?

IcePick

Dillweed is CLEARLY an angry out of work grower (read: formerly employed as a drug dealer under the flawed A20, now out of work because MMC's have driven the price down to $7/gm).

"Like I said before, I know of 3 dispensaries that ship over state lines to keep afloat. "

Then CONTACT THE MMED ANT LET THEM KNOW. There is NO place for back door dealing. It is bad for the industry and bad for patients.

"I also know of about 15 people who have no medical conditions that warrent MMJ and just like to get high. " So call the police on them. Or call the dept of Health.

I can't even comment on the rest of what Dillweed wrote, it's too absurd.

@IcePick = a big $$ dispensary shill who hates private patient growers and their caregivers.

@DonkeyHotay I don't hate caregivers, I wish there were more caregivers. I hate drug dealers who don't pay taxes.

In addition to the many societal costs of prohibition, it has a long history of driving the spread of harder or more dangerous drugs.

Marijuana to dangerous synthetic concoctions - such as spice or bath salts.

Poppies to morphine, to heroine, to krokodil.

Coca to cocaine, to crack, to Paco/Kete/Bazuco/Pitillo.

Ephedra to ephedrine, to speed, to methamphetamine.

Mushrooms to ecstasy (MDMA), to PMMA, to 2CB/designers.

At every step the reasons for the rise in popularity of the new form of the drug are one or more of the following:

* It may be easier to smuggle.

* It may be more addictive, thus compelling the buyer to return more frequently.

* It may be cheaper to produce, therefore yielding more profit.

* Like a game of "whack a mole" a shutdown of producers in one area will mean business opportunities for another set of producers with a similar product.

Prohibition's distortion of the immutable laws of 'supply and demand' subsidizes organized crime, foreign terrorists, corrupt cops, and unconscionable politicians, while feeding the prejudices of self-appointed culture warriors everywhere. So called Tough-On-Drugs politicians have happily built careers on confusing prohibition's horrendous collateral damage with the substances that they claim to be fighting while the big losers in this battle are everybody else, especially we the taxpayers.

So how come so many of us have been deluded into believing that big government is the appropriate response to non-traditional consensual vices?

Imagine if we were to chop down every single tree on the planet as a response to our failure to prevent tree-climbing accidents. That's what our misguided drug policy looks like.

Isn't it time we all stood up and told the government, we're tired of being beaten and jailed so that pharmaceutical companies can poison and kill us for obscene profits?

Prohibition prevents regulation: Legalize, regulate and tax!

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@malcolmkyle16

Government Regulation = Prohibition

What fool would invite the GOVERNMENT to REGULATE, RESTRICT and TAX anything they actually cared about?

**** Legalize Marijuana Like Oregano! ****

IcePick

@DonkeyHotay @malcolmkyle16 I like Cars and I want the Government to regulate their minimum safety equipment. For example I think cars should have seat belts, brake lights, headlights and horns.

PRESTO, I live in a world where the government regulates, taxes and restricts something I care about and guess what? I'm ok with that. (As is the rest of civilized society).

Just because there is legal medical marijuana does not mean prohibition does not still pay handsomely. Where did all the marijuana come from before dispensaries? This is just a lame smear tactic. Ending the prohibition on marijuana will solve the "problem".

Between the prohibitionists themselves and their volunteers, patients' access to medicinal cannabis is threatened.

@RobertChase Only for retards like you too lazy or incompetent to GROW YOUR OWN ...

Even an 87-yr-old geezer managed to grow 400+ plants in his backyard ...

... and A64 would offer him ZERO protection.

@DonkeyHotay Nothing offers him any protection, he is a grower and a DRUG DEALER, hence the arrest.

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

Bingo !! -- "Medical" Marijuana Dispensaries -- continuous criminal enterprises -- MUST violate both State and Federal laws to earn a profit.

How's the "legitimization" of 100s of pages of DOR MMED regulations feel now?

Better use more AstroGlide, or that "regulatory framework" will get stuck again.

IcePick

@DonkeyHotay In order to come to your conclusion you must be assuming the commenter "Dillweed" is correct in his assessment. Clearly he is either mistaken or ill informed as to what really happens in this industry. ANYONE WHO HAS ANY EVIDENCE OF CRIME AT MMC's MUST CONTACT THE MMED IMMEDIATELY.

There are very few such crimes occurring, if it were happening we'd see the MMED shutting down the MMC in question. But as we all know it's just another lie told by the prohibitionist drug dealers who call themselves "growers" and caregivers.
