Colorado Rocky Mountain High
Here is a typical Colorado landscape:
It is apparent that those who wish to undo Amendment 20 are not going away quietly. If they can't ban dispensaries outright they just shift to zoning to hassle a small business. Swell.
Dispensaries and Growers have lawyers to protect their interests. Patients don't. When a moratorium is enacted it basically shuts the door to competition and keeps prices high for patients. The act of making medicine more expensive for political purposes is immoral, unjust, and just plain downright mean-spirited.
It must be noted that any regulation at all only makes it more difficult and more expensive for patients to obtain their (Constitutionally protected) medicine-of-choice.
If this industry is just left alone to sort itself out in a free-market atmosphere, the bad dispensaries will be out of business, patients will enjoy lower prices, well run dispensaries will be able to earn a reasonable profit for their efforts, and the "drug cartels" will see their profits wither.
The ABC Cannabis Pledge for Caregivers
As a responsible caregiver, I pledge:
* To Always Buy Colorado Cannabis whenever possible.
* To never knowingly purchase medical cannabis from any enterprise that is not legally allowed to supply medicinal cannabis in Colorado.
* To never represent cannabis as Colorado-grown if it is not grown in the state.
* To always protect and defend medical cannabis patient rights under Article XVIII, Section 14 of the Colorado Constitution.

The terms "pot and weed" are often used by politicians and media types so they can appear to be "with it" while using it as a derogatory term to further their misguided belief that cannabis consumers are all worthless hippy creeps. We all know this is not true so we should avoid using these terms. While we are at it, don't call me dude!
Cannabis is the name of the genus of the plant, which includes Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica and other species and strains. Cannabis is the proper term for the medicine and is how the medicine was listed in the U.S. pharmacopeia from 1870 to 1941. Since most laws regarding cannabis were written after 1937, they use the word "marijuana" or "marihuana".
Marijuana, Pot or Cannabis?
The term "marijuana" is considered by many to be a racist term invented as part of the 1920's "Reefer Madness" propaganda campaign to outlaw cannabis. The campaign was designed to make the public believe that cannabis was a "new drug" being used by Mexicans who were coming across the border to rape white women.
