Congratulations Colorado, keep up the FANTASTIC work in ending prohibition FOREVER!

YES ON A64!

There's a cover up. This smells less like POT and more like FRAUD, MISMANAGEMENT of FUNDS, EMBEZZLEMENT, THEFT, CRONYISM, NEPOTISM, and warrants internal as well es external investigations on the city, county, state, and federal levels.

To say that there was simply an over projection of anticipated revenues that never materialized is CRIMINAL and is not acceptable. "Follow the money.........."

Hey PotClowns -- this includes dilettantes like you, Robert Chase -- ... here's your "Domino Effect"

*** Marijuana Dispensaries Could be Shut Down With Help of DEA if L.A. City Hall Has its Way ***

The L.A. City Council late yesterday decided to ask the feds for help in shutting down Los Angeles' medical marijuana dispensaries starting Sept. 6.

The Council asked for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the L.A. County District Attorney to come up with a strategy to help it rid L.A. of pot shops.

NewsFlash -- California Supreme Court lets Dispensary Ban stand

In the case of Pack v the City of Long Beach, a state appeals court ruled that no city or county in California could regulate medical marijuana dispensaries since marijuana is illegal under federal law.

The California Supreme Court dismissed the challenge, leaving the Appeals Court ruling to stand.

Pics of the nice $30,000 SUV we the patients are paying to lease for the MMED, and how practical and manuverable they are... these pics were taken at last nights MMED panel discussion after hours, so you can see that patient funded MMED license fees are not going to waste with MMED employees using the SUV for their personal commute, and to go to evening events at bars and such... Why it is So Practical...

Oddities from the list --

Medicine Man lists a Broomfield address -- Broomfield banned dispensaries

Skinny Pineapple with 2 licenses in Boulder -- both addresses less than 200 feet from a school

Various others appear to be Residential Addresses, not Commercial or Industrial zoned.

Massage Specialists Denver -- now there's some forward thinking, merging the industries of sex and drugs, where Billy Breathes can truly find his "Marijuana Porn".

If anyone wants to look up the owners/agents behind these entities, the SOS search page is here -- http://www.sos.state.co.us/biz/BusinessEntityCriteriaExt.do

Lots of fascinating information there.

Kindly watch the Drug War Clock as it ticks away all our hard earned tax dollars:

Now try the US Debt Clock: http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Alcohol prohibition in the US ran from 1919–1933

Where you aware that "The Great Wall Street Crash" happened during this period?

During alcohol prohibition, all profits went to enrich thugs and criminals. Young men died every day on inner-city streets while battling over turf. A fortune was wasted on enforcement that could have gone on treatment. On top of the budget-busting prosecution and incarceration costs, billions in taxes were lost. Finally the economy collapsed. Sound familiar?

To support prohibition you have to be either totally ignorant, totally stupid, totally brainwashed, totally insane, or totally corrupt.

If you have liberty then expect prosperity!

@malcolmkyle16 Remember Malcolm, A64 does NOT legalize marijuana.

A64 = a continuation of Criminal Prohibition ... with extra taxes added.

This MMED "licensed" list is bullshit. They keep saying they have granted licenses, yet not one dispensary has actually posted their actual license on the internet for all to see. If you had gotten one of these supposed "licenses" from the state, wouldn't you be proud after all the money you spent to get it? Wouldn't you post it on the Internet, Facebook, twitter....??? SHOW ME A LICENSE, just one, and I might believe this bullshit. It is probably another scam by the MMED/DEA to give dispensaries a false sense of security, like the "Certificate of Application" that the MMED mailed out in 2010 that was "suitable for framing". Most dispensaries thought this was their supposed "license" and proudly displayed it.

FIND US A LICENSE, WESTWORD! We want to see what they look like.

LOL! This is what happens when idiots allow government to regulate them. You should have banned together and fought this bullshit from the beginning, but you tucked tail and ran.

I was at the Stakeholders meeting in 2009 when the CMMR(Now MMIG) people begged to be taxed and regulated.

The market alone would have shut down most of these places. WOT A MESS.

@coloradommjpatient Ah yes, I remember them screaming, "Matt Cook is our savior! Matt Cook is our savior!"

I'm not a big fan of the dispensary world, but I don't wish them harm either. I hope this isn't a hit list for the feds. No one should get in trouble for selling weed. This list is un-like any other list, I'm sure DEA agents located in Denver are just scratching their heads.

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@Monkey ... as if the DEA doesn't already have the MMED list ... prior to WB posting it to the unwashed masses.

How do you think the DEA determined which dispensary was within 1000 feet of a school?

The real "hit list" will be the EARNINGS / INCOME data willfully shared by the DOR/MMED and the IRS / DEA ...

Ouch !!

@DonkeyHotay @Monkey Unlike the patient registry, the dispensary and growhouse registry has no guarantee of confidentiality. Neither does the registry that will be required if Amendment 64 passes to keep track of the one ounce dispensaries will be allowed to sell.

Hey Greedy Myopic Dispensary Pigs -- how's that "regulatory framework" feel now?

Do you feel "legitimized" yet?

Note that the fewer dispensaries there are left, the higher the fees must be, since MMED is self-funding by the mandate of HB1284. Don't expect the MMED big-wigs to take a salary cut, or downscale their pimpin' rides.

@DonkeyHotay How many dispensaries and growers do you think will vote for more of this "regulatory framework" with Amendment 64? That ballot initiative is DOOMED! The cat's out of the bag -- the mmj greedy dispensary program was just a set-up for the feds to make it easier for them to gather information. I can't imagine anyone voting for more of it in the privacy of the voting booth.

DonkeyHotay topcommenter

@apple-day ... well, apparently the NAACP is dumb enough to swallow A64 ... and not spill a single drop.

IcePick

@apple-day @DonkeyHotay Yes this was all a set-up for the feds. It started way back in 1999 when A20 was written and voted on by the feds. Then in 2009 the feds wrote legislation defining how these dispensaries would operate and who would run them and how they would govern the entire process from seed to sale. And then the fed made the governor sign the legislation and then the fed made everyone pay $10,000 to apply to become one of these dispensaries and then the fed got all their fingerprints and then the fed fired dan hartman and then the fed....

Excellent -- finally some informative reporting from this blog(er).

That didn't hurt too much, did it Billy?

Could it be that you'll actually begin reporting in your reviews whether the dispensary is Licensed or "Pending" ... or "about to be indicted" like Silver Lizard?

Will you one day report on the MEDIAN -- not average -- age of registered patients, broken down by sex ?

@DonkeyHotay Willy Breathes - SHOW US A LICENSE! Your investigative reporting is not that good when all you supply is a LIST of dispensaries that supposedly came from the MMED. If this is really a list of "licensed" dispensaries, why does it not have the state of Colorado seal on it? Why does it not have the "license" numbers of the dispensaries? Why can no one produce an actual license for us to look at? WW could have created that spreadsheet out of their advertising list, for all we know. It couldn't look less official if "MMED Business Licensees" was written in crayon. PROVE this is an actual list by showing us the actual licenses of some of these dispensaries. STOP blindly repeating government propaganda, and then we'll congratulate you on your informative reporting.
