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.

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.
