Introduction
This book touches on medical marijuana dispensaries only toshow how they paved the way for Colorado Amendment 64, otherwise known asRecreational Pot.
The discussion of medical marijuana dispensaries in this bookis partly to show that as a business format for the recreational marijuanaretail business. The medical marijuana caregiver started in and still exists inthe home.
A caregiver is a person taking care of the health of a patient.Under Colorado regulations, this can mean as little as helping with a patientsmeal or transportation. A caregiver can also provide and grow medical marijuanafor the patients. The medical marijuana dispensary is owned by a caregiver orpartnership of caregivers.
This book refers to the medical marijuana dispensary to showthe ways to cut costs in the growing of marijuana, and still be just asproductive.
This book also explains that activists are the ones who madehistory. The book explains how marijuana farmers (activists) forced theColorado State government to set up regulations in order to keep the Feds outand keep Colorado a good example in the media.
What came first, the chicken or the egg? This book explainsthat the medical marijuana dispensary came first. The Colorado StateRegulations were adopted from medical marijuana dispensaries that are rolemodels in the State of Colorado.
The big picture should be: If people can Legalize Marijuana,are they capable of making other changes to the USA, if not the entire world? Is it possible to get politicians to represent the people? Yes, but you mayhave to give them a big job that overwhelms them like marijuana or same-sexmarriage. Otherwise, all their time is consumed spending and patting themselveson the back.
This book is only partly for the use of growing marijuana fromyour home in the great State of Colorado.

In many other states and the world it is prohibited and people mustgo to a dispensary to get marijuana.

THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA INTHE GREAT STATE OF COLORADO-AMENDMENT 64
On November 6, 2012, the voters of the Great State of Coloradovoted for Amendment 64. Votes totaled 2,500,033, of that 1,383,139 were yes votesto the 1,116, 894 no votes. That is fifty-five point thirty-two percent yesvotes. On December 10, 2012, Governor Hickenlooper signed the Declaration ofAmendment 64 as part of the Colorado State Constitution. Dispensaries servedlegal marijuana to the world on January 1, 2014.
The truth is, the politicians did not legalize marijuana inColorado. Marijuana and the medical marijuana farmers did. When you have moremedical marijuana farmers practicing their rights to grow medical marijuana, itcreates more supply for more users (demand).
As of January 1, 2014, the legalization of marijuana in theGreat State of Colorado exists, and has taken monster baby steps for the world.Recreational Pot, Amendment 64 has a long ways to go. A lot of case law willoccur defining Amendment 64 as time passes. Medical marijuana and Amendment 64can be compared to same-sex marriages when it comes to how the states of theUnited States will all handle medical marijuana in the future. My opinion is that same-sex marriage will be a burdento a states economy, where marijuana or medical marijuana stimulates it. Couldmarijuana turn the USA economy around by forty percent? I think there might bea couple of people thinking that.
Medical marijuana will continue to become legal in more statesin the USA, because of case law. The way that it ultimately became legal undermedical marijuana was through the approval of a medical doctor for a patient touse marijuana as a medicine of choice--just as all American citizens have achoice of all types of other medicines.
Ultimately, governments at all levels--federal, state, county,and city--do not make money unless some kind of state economy exists. Governmentrelies on the revenue of marijuana and medical marijuana. Just another reasonmarijuana is legal in the State of Colorado. Government claims that lawenforcement spends all its time locking people up when marijuana is illegal. Thefact is, now that marijuana is legal, law enforcement will bring in more inrevenue on driving offenses with DWAIs (Driving While Ability Impaired) alone.
Recreational pot in Colorado will be referred to in this bookas Amendment 64 and vise versa.
Amendment 64 allows the use of marijuana by adults twenty-oneyears or older. It is legal to grow six marijuana plants with only three inflower. The marijuana plants must be grown in a secure lockable area. It islegal to transport one ounce. It is also legal to give one ounce as a gift toother citizens twenty-one years or older.
Visitors and tourists of Colorado can use and purchasemarijuana but can not take it out of the state.
Amendment 64 allows an individual twenty-one or older to growthe six marijuana plants of other twenty-one year olds. The city of Denver hasan ordinance that allows a maximum of twelve total plants per residence,regardless of the number of adults living in the home.It is almost guaranteed that all cities and townships will set some limit tothe amount of marijuana plants allowed per home.
