[cobcoop]

Hey guys, let me apologize for the thread getting out of hand.
I feel most of my last posts were mainly sticking up for myself against some un-kind folks talking shit they know nothing about.
I'm glad people that do know what they talk about are standing up and correcting these myths circulating, and putting these kids to bed, so to speak.
Bobby Stainless, Mr.Dank, & Big Herb Tree all are excellent growers that know their shit. Bottom line...if they also say that shit ain't just a good WW, then you can be rest assured, no matter what some hype-filled guy and his dutch cohort says = $$....don't follow that stuff, it gets you nowhere! peace

Sec. 24-401. Purpose and legislative intent. Although the possession and use of marijuana is and remains unlawful under Federal law, Section 14 of Article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution (“Amendment 20”) provides an exception to prosecution under state criminal laws when marijuana is possessed and used for medicinal purposes by a patient who has been diagnosed with a debilitating medical condition and by the patient’s primary caregiver. Amendment 20 does not, however, contain any provision for the lawful sale or distribution of marijuana to patients and, to date, the State of Colorado has failed to adopt laws or regulations to clearly explain how and whether marijuana may be lawfully sold or otherwise distributed to patients. As a result of this ambiguity in the State law, unregulated medical marijuana dispensaries have proliferated in Denver and elsewhere in Colorado. The purpose of this Article is to license and regulate medical marijuana dispensaries in the interest of public health, safety and general welfare. In particular, this Article in intended to regulate the sale and distribution of marijuana in the interest of patients who qualify to obtain, possess and use marijuana for medical purposes under Amendment 20, while promoting compliance with other state laws that prohibit trafficking in marijuana for non-medical purposes. Nothing in this article is intended to promote or condone the sale, distribution, possession or use of marijuana in violation of any applicable law. Compliance with the requirements of this article shall not provide a defense to criminal prosecution under any applicable law.
Sec. 24-402. Definitions. The following words and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings respectively assigned to them:
(1) Director means the director of the department of excise and licenses, or the director’s duly authorized representative.

(2) Marijuana shall have the same meaning as the term “usable form of marijuana” as set forth in Article XVIII, Section 14(1)(i) of the Colorado Constitution, or as may be more fully defined in any applicable state law or regulation.
(3) Medical Marijuana dispensary means a business that sells or otherwise distributes marijuana through one or more primary care-givers to six (6) or more patients for medical use, along with any cultivation of marijuana associated with such sale or distribution. The term “medical marijuana dispensary” shall not include any person or entity that distributes marijuana for medical use exclusively to five (5) or fewer patients, and shall not include the private possession and medical use of marijuana by an individual patient or caregiver to the extent permitted by Article XVIII, Section 14 of the Colorado Constitution and any other applicable state law or regulation.
(4) Medical use shall have the same meaning as is set forth in Article XVIII, Section 14(1)(b) of the Colorado Constitution, or as may be more fully defined in any applicable state law or regulation.
(5) Parent shall have the same meaning as set forth in Article XVIII, Section 14 (1)(c) of the Colorado Constitution, or as may be more fully defined in any applicable state law or regulation.
(6) Patient shall have the same meaning as is set forth in Article XVIII, Section 14(1)(d) of the Colorado Constitution, or as may be more fully defined in any applicable state law or regulation.
(7) Primary care-giver shall have the same meaning as is set forth in Article XVIII, Section 14(1)(f) of the Colorado Constitution, or as may be more fully defined in any applicable state law or regulation.
(8) School or child care establishment means any public or private school meeting all requirements of the compulsory education laws of the state and providing instruction to students in kindergarten through grade twelve; any public or private schools or pre-schools that provide preparatory schooling for children of any age younger than the state age of mandatory attendance; or any child care establishment as defined by and regulated under Chapter 11 of this Code.

I thought I was getting all of the kinks worked out a year ago lol. Have you ever noticed how people use the phrase "in my next setup". Every time you turn around it seems like its getting bigger and better again. This thing is like a black hole and I have passed the threshold of the event horizon. I can't imagine a not growing now.
