I think most of the cities and counties that are banning dispensaries are being very shortsighted, because most of them really, really need all the tax revenue they can get. Between sales taxes, business license fee's, fire department fee's, police fee's, etc the cities are forfeiting hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of revenues, and it just doesn't make any sense. Instead of taking in the revenues themselves they are sending their residents to other cities to buy their MMJ, and it's those other cities that are reaping all the economic benefits. Call me silly, but allowing dispensaries seems like a no brainer to me unless you're in one of this rich ass neighborhoods where they don't need the tax revenue and are more concerned about preserving the "quality" (whatever that is) of the area.
How tall are you?
Be prepared to wait 6mo to get your cardJust writing in to intoduce myself too. I'm in Aurora, got my Dr. visit 3 months ago. Still haven't got my pernanent card? Got chronic liver pain hep c. Anyways I mostly just read these threads and learn. Did outdoor back in the day so I'm just trying to get exp. indoor. Been trying a few different disp. some good, some not. Got a couple of strains of real good kush...
As of now chronic pain will get you a card, best if you have a documented history with a doctor detailing the pain and treatment, there is talk of getting rid of pain as a factor as that is what most people in CO are using to abuse the systemI wish I had that much riddleme. Constant pain sucks.
Thanks EdGreyFox for the info.
Can anyone comment on whether back pain is a legitimate need? I can't even pick up my 2 month old daughter without shooting pain. I'd like to be able to play with her without the constant throbbing and bad mood.
Nah I got some pretty premature meds as of late too. I also got some maui wowie but it was pretty good not as premature as others but like i said a long time ago in this thread it just goes to show you that not all the buds the same quality and there will be a market for superior smoke because not everyone can grow it...it actually takes love for the plant not love for the cash. I really have just been trying to find good smoke so I can get some good clones but haven't found a whole lot that I want to grow either.Am I the only one that keeps getting disp medicine that has been chopped early
in the last few weeks I have had
maui waui
skunk #1
light of jah
white widow
pull out the loupe and sure enough mostly clear trichs, a few cloudy and no sign of amber??? WTF ???
and none of it makes me want to grow it, sure I get medicated but it is very disappointing
anybody else experiencing this?
Mile High,
Do they refund your money or something, or just give you a credit towards next years fee? I paid my fee to the state through my Dr's office and it was charged to my card immediately, and I'm sure a lot of other people did the same. How does this work for those of us that paid our fee through an intermediary?
I thought I was just trippin' but I'm glad someone else notices as well. I stopped going to my main dispensary because lately everything seems to be chopped way early. Fucking pistils everywhere, the nasty hay smell, and whispy shitty looking buds that look like they were grown under LEDs. Its really sad to see an awesome strain like AK47 or white widow butchered because they cut it weeks too early. Let that shit put on some weight and get some flavor.Am I the only one that keeps getting disp medicine that has been chopped early

Exactly. The dispensaries get the leftovers or stuff that wasn't good enough for someone down the supply chain to snatch up. Unfortunately, the number of people I know and trust AND can grow weed I would want to smoke is a very limited number.Want real fire? In my experience, the best buds on a regular basis come from small grower co-ops. People you know and trust. Genetics and quality controls you have a say in.
