Again, Medical Marijuana has been legal in Colorado since November of 2000 and caregivers/med-growers were already providing delivery services and discrete med-retail locations in the early 2000s. The first one I ever saw was in an office complex in Schlongmont in 2002... The only thing that changed much during that time is the obviousness of it all and lessening of the associated hassle, but the availability has been there all along.
I get that you believe things changed for the worse with the rise of more up-front Dispensaries in 2008 forward. On that point we simply disagree.
Yes, we disagree! I never saw a MMJ dispensary prior to 2008, and I had an office in Boulder, live in SE Denver, and folks who had the ability to get MMJ then, it was far and few who bought MMJ! I have friends who suffered from debilitating illnesses and for them, 2008 was a milestone, a godsend for their health, quality of life and survival.
Again... I have nothing against weed, it's just that it attracted a lot of losers here as well as criminals.
