A non-medical convention with medical doctors writing recommendations for recreational smokers, huh? Nah....no problem there.
...or possibly...just possibly....could those docs have been issuing the new Colorado "Cannabis Lifestyle" license?
Yeah...that must be it...being that the convention wasn't about MMJ...
Just because there was a few doctors out of HUNDREDS of booths does not mean this was billed as a medical marijuana convention- it wasn't (and compared to teh last one, they weren't even doing shit). Not every group has the same ethics, so lets not blow it outta proportion. I didn't say having doctors was right- i said it wasn't a med convention. It just so happens that many of the booths were purchased by MMC's. They are part of teh business too. And yes, at other conventions drug companies DO buy booths and push samples- its NO different...except at these they CANT hand out samples.
Don't believe the hype SH- papers don't show the whole story. Come down to one of these and you'll see its just a bunch of blown smoke. Not very medical in the least and more geared towards stoners- as it was advertised- not patients. I've been to actual MEDICAL conventions in other med states- and this is NO WHERE near a med convention.
Like i said- there are stoner conventions everywhere. This was one of them, folks need to come off the high horse. And this WASN'T even a good stoner convention, cuz unlike stoner conventions- you can't even smoke. So all in all it was not even a good representation of either- hell it was MORE responsible than ANY other stoner event I've been to.
I mean if we were in Texas would you guys all be bitching about the wide open smokeouts with 10-15,000 people down town? Would that be bad for the movement too? lol.
that's bad news if you ask me. Unlimited plant counts aren't good, caregivers don't need them nor should they have them. unlimited plant counts and patients is what blew CO out of control. I don't care if I had 30 patients with EC, I would keep my count under 99. I doubt you'll see a caregiver allowed more than 15 patients even with exceptional circumstances.
Exceptional circumstances in ban areas has already been addressed by the CDPHE, and it's a go. The CDPHE considers the distance a patient lives from an MMC when deciding on granting an exceptional circumstaces.
How does an exceptional circumstance and unlimited plant counts even coincide with each other? How is that being lobbied?
Unlimited plant counts under 99 are where it should be. The government nor doctors have the right to limit plant counts, and I think teh correlation there is the fact that they are trying to limit CG's, so if so they need to open up the rights of individual patients. Whether ANYONE thinks a patient can grow enough with a lower plant count or whether CG's "need" unlimited is a moot point. Its not up to anyone to determine whats adequate for any patient other than the doctor and the patient. And if you are not violating federal law, then the state should not have concern. Cali has done away with plant counts, and thats for the better of the patient.
Im a medical necessity patient, and I look "young, healthy, and tatted" by most standards, but im not. And if med necessity is up in the air for legitmacy, then yes I do believe there should be unlimited so folks like myself can grow what we need without fear. You cant SEE that I'm bipolar, or that I have numerous hereditary immuno disorders/diseases- so why should I be stigma'd or punished because i try to take care of myself in every other way possible and i dont "look" like im dying? Give the rights to the patients, not the state.
