How does one purchase seeds produced in Colorado?  The answer is you can not purchase seeds from Colorado seed companies in Colorado.  Rare Dankness produces their seeds in Colorado and then has to ship them to Europe, specifically England to be re-sent back into the the US via UK Royal Mail.  How do I purchase marijuana seeds from Rare Dankness?  Though cannabis seeds are available to medical marijuana patients at licensed Colorado dispensaries, most cannabis cultivators aren’t privilege to such convenience and will have to resort to underground means.  Here’s how:

Go to Attitude Seed Bank and check out the selection of seeds available from Colorado Rare Dankness marijuana seed bank.  Attitude is a clearing house style seed bank and represents many cannabis seed companies from all over Earth.  Though it is illegal to import cannabis seeds into the US, from our personal experience, there is never a problem.  Pick your seed, place your order and Attitude will get you your seeds.  It’s a bit of a round about way to obtain your marijuana seeds especially if you are already in Colorado, but fear not, you will get your seeds in the mail 7 – 14 days later.  So what are you waiting for, use Attitude Seed Bank and get your marijuana seeds today!  Here is the direct link to: order some Rare Dankness Seeds

A recent Denver Westword article speculated on the reasons for the decline in registered marijuana patients in Colorado and pointed out that the fee for medical marijuana cards dropped from $90 to $35 on January 1, 2012, so many patients may just be waiting for the price break to renew.  High Country Caregiver wants to highlight some reader comments from the Westword article as to other reasons why patients wouldn’t register anymore.

One reader comment from ‘CAREGIVER’ to Denver Westword which got the most ‘likes’ says:

“I serve as a caregiver for lots of patients and am a patient myself.  We all have our recommendations, from our doctors, that are up to date, but none of us are registering with the state.  None of us trust that our information will end up in the hands of the DEA.  I know lots of other caregivers and patents in the same situation because they all to feel the same way.

We all feel it’s much wiser to simply operate like it’s illegal, but keep our doctor’s recommendations, in writing, up to date, just in case we need it.  That’s been working out fine for all of us so far!”

Other medical marijuana patients like PUBLIUS CEASAR point out the invasion of privacy on patients as a reason not to register:

“The reason I didn’t renew is because of the intrusiveness of the system. Tracking how much I buy, taking my picture, etc. I’m legal with just a doctors recommendation, why should I register?”

The CDPHE medical marijuana registry is crashing and drowning under its own weight for a variety of reasons, the chart below illustrates the demise of the CDPHE Colorado medical marijuana registry:

Newt Gingrich flipped views on marijuana legalization over the course of 14 years.  His stance on marijuana began with medical marijuana views in 1982 when he wrote a letter to the American Medical Association stating why marijuana should be legal for medical reasons.  By 1996 Newt was declaring that anyone caught importing more than 2 ounces of marijuana into the US should be executed.  If we can forgive him for sounding a little harsh the importance here is that Newt Gingrich was ahead of his time with cannabis legalization because in Colorado you can grow and possess 2 ounces of cannabis as a medical patient.

Now a decade and half later could Newt Gingrich switch his views on marijuana again.  The Republican Debates will be in Colorado Feb. 7, 2012 and Colorado is certainly ground zero for a marijuana debate on any level.  If Gingrich were to go through with changing his mind on marijuana legalization his ratings would soar!  The marijuana community is less than happy with Obama’s stance on marijuana and could easily be turned to the Republican vote if Newt were to announce a change in view on cannabis.  High Country Caregiver calls for republican front runner to change his view and not criticize but legalize cannabis!

President Obama is an unlikely candidate for marijuana office for the next election because of his flip-flop wishy washy stance on medical marijuana alone.  Republican choices for President will likely be Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.  Mitt Romney is not a choice for 420 President of the US because of his open disregard of cannabis laws and outspoken negative opinion of any type of legalization of marijuana medical or otherwise.

Who will be the President of choice for a marijuana Nation?  Ron Paul gets our vote for president based on his rational marijuana policies.  Ron Paul believes cannabis laws should be created by the States alone.  His view on the drug war is that it is a total failure and waste of money and the only ones benefitting from the drug war are the drug cartels.  If you want to see cannabis prohibition come to an end, vote Ron Paul.  Below is a video with Ron Paul’s best quotes supporting the legalization of cannabis to some nice Sublime music.

Colorado’s Attorney General, John Suthers was asked to join the panel of prohibitionists, and his take on the situation is that “the medical marijuana regime in Colorado is nothing more than a state-sanctioned fraud on the part of several thousand patients and a few dozen doctors, in violation of federal law”, said Suthers.  It’s interesting to hear the State’s top marijuana lawyer having such a low opinion of the plant that voters decided to legalize.  Legalization may be exactly what’s on the mind of the Colorado marijuana attorney though when he says “I’m tempted to support legalization in an effort to get away from the government hypocrisy,” he said. “But I won’t do that … because it would only increase the perception that there is no risk with this drug.”

The confusion of Colorado medical marijuana goes on, only further confused by those who are supposed to enforce the very laws that voters enacted.  The medical marijuana dispensary ban in Colorado now has fuel to it’s fire to continue banning marijuana Centers.  Will Glenwood Springs and other mountain marijuana destination towns be next?

The vote said that if passed dispensaries in the Northern Colorado town of Fort Collins would have to close within 90 days.   With nearly 10 times the cash to fund the counter offensive, it’s sad to see the loss of so many dispensaries that provided medicinal cannabis to medical marijuana patients being voted out.  High Country Caregiver recommends to anyone in Northern Colorado who needs medicine to find a good caregiver to provide your medical marijuana.  Caregivers are protected by the constitution and can not be voted out at this point.  This is what Fort Collins voters wanted, so support your local marijuana caregiver.  Medical marijuana dispensaries are on the landslide out of Colorado at this point when a couple of thousand dollars and a vote is all that it takes to shutter the dispensary model in Colorado.

What would Snoop Dog have to say about this marijuana situation?  Just keep smoking!

The pot clowns in Colorado are out in force with the voting.  Dan Hartman, long time 420 pot clown and head of the medical marijuana enforcement division at the Colorado Department of Revenue goofed big time by publicly decrying voters to not vote out his medical marijuana dispensary scam.  Attorney General John Suthers publicly called out Hartman the pot clown as a civil servant trying to sway voters.  Hartman basically said that “if you vote out dispensaries, marijuana cultivation will continue uninhibited and local police and the MMED won’t be able to regulate it or do anything about it.”  Sure pot clown, High Country Caregiver knows you’re only in it for the gold.

In Denver the Vietnamese pot growing gangs are thriving, and Cherry Top Farms, a quazi licensed marijuana center decided to buy a truck load of weed from the Do family.  The Do family arrived at Cherry Top Farms 2500 plant warehouse grow with the DEA following and a major situation erupted and the Feds confiscated all of the weed and charged 4 or 5 of those at the scene.  The Do family will likely be up and running again soon as this is there usual course or action.  Warehouse grown weed in Denver is not recommended for human consumption, find a good caregiver, or better yet some outdoor grown weed.  It’s harvest time!

Rapping up the pre-Halloweed week, seed to sale marijuana tracking is here and it’s causing major stirs in the medical marijuana community.  The tracking will involve bar cods that have to be placed on all plants, seedling, etc… in the grow operation so that no dispensary has more than 6 plants per patient.  The system is expensive and will raise prices and lower quality of dispensary grown cannabis.

If you believe that Obama had something to do with the medical marijuana explosion of the past 2 years, today marks the end of medical marijuana in Colorado and California.  The Obama Administration has announced that all California medical marijuana dispensaries must close within 45 days.  The IRS is already seizing dispensary bank accounts and landlords from at least 16 dispensaries have received harsh warnings about getting their property seized.  The times are changing for the dispensaries, the ride has been a ruff one, and now medical marijuana dispensaries are as dead as a door nail.

What implications lie ahead for Colorado with medical marijuana?  California lead the way for Colorado and it’s 1000 or do medical outlets, and one would have to assume that Colorado medical marijuana is next for the feds to target.  Patients, caregivers, and dispensary owners beware, your medical marijuana card means nothing now.  The only good news will be that the previous underground market should now come back and the real smokers out there will still be able to get their herb.  Jah Bless!
