Thank you! Patients Choice of Colorado--
There are too many to reply to individually, but we would like to clarify some issues.
Patients Choice of Colorado is a MEDICAL marijuana dispensary. We are truly helping those in need, and doing our best to provide medicine at the best price we can. As many have mentioned, the easiest way for us to provide the best quality, consistency, and price is if we grow our own meds. It takes time to get gardens on line and running properly. Even with what we are doing, demand is outstripping supply. We have and plan on offering $10 gram to our members for certain in house strains. Our goal is to get what we produce down to about $10 - $14 a gram.*** WE NOW HAVE 10 DOLLAR GRAMS OF MEDICINE AVAILABLE FOR MEMBERS OF WHITE WIDOW AND ENDLESS SKY.***So we really are trying to go in this direction as much as possible.
But what I want to discuss is the medical side of this movement. In order for us to provide our own in house medicine, have medicine on the shelves, and have legal coverage for our staff, we need a certain amount of patients that sign us up as their primary caregiver. Some people have said that dispensaries are not caregivers. That could not be farther from the truth. We promote alternatives to traditional care. We have massage therapy, music therapy, acupuncture, and are looking into other forms of alternative healing. We also highly promote nutrition as a preventative to disease.
And on prices, for our outside growers, we pay upwards to $4,800 a pound for certain strains. The ones that don't sell, we don't buy back; the ones that do, we buy. We think its high, but there also needs to be education on how long certain strains take to grow, their yield, and expertise level. If you have a 42 day finisher, of course that is our cheapest medication. Next you have an 70 day finisher; should that be the same price? You will never find super high quality meds that take longer to grow unless you are willing to compensate that grower for his extra time and resources.
I also want to point out that the CDPHE via their rule-making meeting on July 20th also clarified that providing and growing do constitute as care-giving. We also strongly promote people using their six plant option to grow their own and reduce the amount they need from anyone. We have helped many people set up grow rooms for free. We believe in sustainability of all kinds, particularly economic, and growing your own, and growing it well, is extremely beneficial for patients and the community.
However, many of our patients either are physically unable to grow, do not have the time, or many do not want to grow or can't because of living situations. Every person's story is different, and that is what makes us so dynamic. But together, we will grow our scene into a caring, informational, and truly wonderful and safe environment for medical patients to not only get their medications, but interact with a community of like-minded individuals with a common, caring goal. Hopefully this movement will transcend into full legalization from the present tyrannical and draconian actions used by the federal government.
One thing most people overlook in this movement, from what I understand from our lawyer, is that every thc product in any dispensary must be grown, made, baked in Colorado. No beasters, no cali bud/hash/baked goods, every product must be from Colorado, and every thc medicine in Patients Choice is grown, baked, made in Colorado. It will take us some time to meet the demand, particularly without these outside sources, but we are improving everyday.
We wish all of you peace, love, understanding, and respect, and thank you so much Paco, booya, medthumb and all the other positive comments.
Thank you!

you can always get em from your closet or spare bedroom!! GROW IT OR PAY IT!
Or better yet find a caregiver that cares about you as a person, not a paycheck.
We are local Colorado caregivers who take pride in our selection and collection of genetics and our commitment to our patients and the local community. Everyone involved with Stone Mountain has been part of the Colorado cannabis community for the better part of the last decade or more.
I have gone to great lengths to make sure all products we carry are the absolute best localy produced cannabis strains available. We dont buy from meds from outside vendors and our baked goods are from a local baker with a commercial kitchen and license who uses our leaf for our food products. Please stop in and let me know your from IcMag!
Thanks,
Stone Mountain
Based on their site, Green Mtn discontinued Wednesday doctor visits sometime over the past three weeks. Looks like some inept scheduling (clinic scheduled OP for a Wed dr appt, when dr is no longer available on Wed - or the dr abruptly dropped Wed, and schedulers neglected to follow up). From the OP's description, the clinic was rude and unprofessional in their treatment of him. Surely they knew that Wed dr appointments had been discontinued - did the clinic explain this to their patient when he showed up for an appointment? Apparently not; they simply shut out the patient with no offer to reschedule.
This report documents inept, unprofessional and rude treatment of a patient by Green Mountain Care by uncaring staff. Such treatment is completely unacceptable.
I work at a dispensary in Cali and we will never go over 15 a gram, alot of ours are 10 to 13 bucks...I would love to be able to give it away to our customers[ some are so sick and helps soooo much] but I cant. I love hearing how mj helps them get thru their painfull days! I love my job!
