Just found this site and it is great to meet y'all.

I am a 90% Disabled Veteran in Texas. We are planning to move to CO in the next year for Medicinal and I was hoping for some help. The VA has me on a cocktail of painkillers/anti-depressants/steroids/muscle relaxers and I am f'ing sick of being on them. I can't eat, sleep, or even function some days. If I smoke a joint, the pain is manageable, I can eat, I can sleep, and I can play with my 3 kids all 5 and under.

We have been looking at CO Springs mainly because of UCCS. My wife and I want to finish our degrees. I read a thread on here that said to avoid that place because of Police and crime.

So please help us out. We need a kid friendly area for them and 420 friendly for me. If anyone knows a Property Management company that can help us it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance and ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG!

Thanks for the reply. That would be great! Here we hear it is like the Wild West for MJ laws but reading up on it, there are A LOT of "oh by the way" type restrictions it seems. We are home owners and I can understand people being afraid of the DOJ coming down on CO in the form of property seizure, mold, electrical fires, but there has to be people out there that are cool with it.

I'm pretty sure "seizures" are a thing of the past here unless the Feds are involved. The biggest change here, other than retail shops, is that every property owner can allow/disallow >any< cannabis use on their property if they so choose to do so. Just be aware that any property management company who has "grow friendly" rentals listed or touts they can hook you up with a place to grow will charge a premium for those rentals. (and will then know what you are doing)

My best advice......Keep it personal and on the down low. It's "legal"...... but the fact is very few folks wanna SEE IT, HEAR ABOUT IT, or SMELL IT. Get your Med card and hole away.....making it appear you don't even smoke the stuff.... and all will be well.

Secondly....get your finances in order. CO will likely be far more expensive than Texas.

Thanks for the advice, truly appreciate it.

We found out yesterday that our credit may be good enough to buy. We could sell our house here in Austin and hopefully go right into another house. That would be ideal and that is the plan going forward.
