Just my guess...

But HB 1284 and SB 109, which Governor Bill Ritter is expected to sign into law, threaten to effectively exterminate a good chunk of those local businesses. Because most of the smaller joints lack the funding and resources to adhere to the strict requirements before the July 1 deadline, bigger companies are better positioned to edge in on the market.Pot attorney Tae Darnell says that means out-of-state and even international interests will likely pick up the slack -- like an undisclosed Amsterdam company that's hoping to acquire 25 shops before the residency clause bars them on December 15.
"It's a company that's interested in potentially being involved in this area," Darnell confirms, saying attorney-client privilege keeps him from disclosing more. "We have a number of out-of-state interests, to be honest. Addressing that as we move forward is going to be critical."

Thank you very much Mr. Romer and gang, struggling Colorado business people take one in the ass, and big money international interests are there to pick up the slack for us.

so now it looks like the Netherlands (that Dutch West Indies company sure has been kickin' it for many years) will take a big slice of the pie on the "legal" side, along with the big cali mmj "centers", and on the illegal side, what will it be, Mexican brick weed, gardens in the national forests?...

picking up the slack ya know......


i am surprised that Big Tobacco has not muscled their way into the Co. market.....

Greenhouse was the name drop at the CTI meeting...

they want to come in, buy 49% of 25 stores, grow for two years under HB1284, get their 2 years in and then blow this place up.

grows had to be established by 12-15-09. so, everyone from California that is here already, stays. 2 years didn't work out the way most wanted.

What's this I hear about Mead?

Green house seed company? hmmm i wonder if they have better luck getting their own seeds to germ...

 

[cobcoop]

Yes, they are trying to buy up the dispensaries in Co. apparently.

Thats what i keep thinking... Maybe i should have Jumped in with both feet.. Why would they leave their safe haven... The almighty Dollar will make you do dumb things but if they want to Risk it why wouldn't i want to Risk it... I mean they have built a small fortune and all that could go away with a shift of power in the US.

No, but they do have more $$ to throw around. IMHO.

[madback]

I don't think GH seeds have anything of that caliber.. what's the worry?

I'm not so worried about seed vendors coming in, but rather the large companies taking over the dispensaries.

Plus Adam is an AMERICAN expat who came back home.
Shame on greenhouse.

Fuck Greenhouse....I've been to every one of their coffeeshops in Amsterdam, and have frequented the one by the Opera house (Waterlooplein), and they always treat me like shit, and charge more per gram than ANY other Amsterdam coffeeshop. Does it no raise an eyebrow that they somehow always place in the HTCC? Bought? Even Barney's doesn't stoop to their level. Barneys, as commercial as it is, has always been friendly with me...in fact, the first time I ever hit a vaporizer was at Barney's. Greenhouse is just he über commercial coffeeshop and seed company. They have pictures of the owners standing with famous rappers in their shops, its totally there to attract stupid American tourists and over charge. Their Arjan's Haze and Arjan's Strawberry Haze were both crap when I had 'em in Amsterdam, and I paid over 15€ per gram. Seems like the genetics could be okay, but the grown representations of their "cup winners" were subpar at best. I totally avoid Greenhouse or anything related to them when I visit my favorite European city. The best dutch breeders and coffeeshops are just that...dutch, they don't want to deal with Americans, they are not in the tourist areas, and they are not trying to take over a state in the US. Just like the best Colorado growers are just that, hiding in the mountains or in their basements growing the super nasty stuff, not wanting to deal with outsiders or any bullshit. Its the same with the REAL growers anywhere....

 

[Greenmopho]

wait....cobcoop....aren't you running Greenhouse's Super Lemon Haze? Hehehe....sorry, had to point out the funny obvious contradiction....fire is fire though....

 

[cobcoop]

I sure am (and I really like it), and you are as well? But as I said it's not about selling seeds, it's about coming in and buying up dispensaries. GH was just my best guess as to who the Dutch investors were, I don't really know.
