New 'Caregiver' Definition for Colorado

I expect caregivers here in Colorado will be cutting their patient count down to only 1 patient in the near future.
With the passage of HB 1284, CDPHE now has the right to define what a caregiver's duties and responsibilities are to the MMJ patient. Its written in HB 1284.
We, the patients and caregiver, stopped the CDPHE a year ago from passing their definition, by protesting and attending their hearings. REMEMBER?

Refer to the California definition of 'Caregiver'.
I am sure Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment will have the same definition.
Refer to this site here on Rollitup.

The attorneys didn't fight for the patients and caregivers this time on HB1285. Now CDPHE will get their way.
Caregivers will be fortunate to be able to grow for 1 patient, much less 5 patients, after the 'Caregiver' definition is applied into law.
Caregivers will have an abundance of responsibilities, which will take up so much time, that they can't take care of additional patients.

The people of Colorado let this happen. Patients and Caregivers were sacrificed to the benefit of the dispensaries. ATTORNEYS AND BIG BUSINESS DISPENSARIES WON!!!!!!

UNLESS some language can be found to be 'unconstitutional' in SB109 and HB1284 I'm afraid MMJ as you know it is finished in Colorado. With only a certain percentage of dispensaries after the fallout of this, plus the additional restrictions of these newly passed bills, the show is over. Way to go, Colorado. As Don Henley said- "...call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye."

Good day fellow Coloradoans. I have read through the bills but sometimes I am bad about catching all the details. Does anyone know if we as patients, have had our right to grow 6 plants affected as long as we don't have a caregiver? I don't have a caregiver and stay with 3 plants in veg and 3 in flower (always under 2 ounces dried)...am I still safe? If my right to grow my own medicine is taken away, i'm freaking moving west. Much appreciation for any answers.

You still and always will have the right to grow your own as a patient.
1284 didn't take the patients right to grow away. It screwed us in other ways, hard, like no Vaseline hard.

Thanks for your reply. I thought that was the case, I am lucky enough to be in good enough health to tend my own medicine garden...but so many people are not. Im sure these bills are going to make it very hard on some patients..
Again, thanks for your reply-

Looking at the bills i do agree that they slant the advantage to the dispensaries. Personally i would rather buy from an individual who cares for his own garden than from a dispensary who is just cash cropping. I think it is messed up and unconstitutional. Either way i think that the new definition for caregiver would facilitate a "Personal Trainer" filling's the requirements for caretaker. Would you agree?

I live in Colorado and have my MMJ bullshit paperwork too. I see these new recent bills getting tweaked and reversed in the near future. There are a lot of people filing suits, protesting and much hell being raised about this. Just watch when this November California passes their legalization, it will effect the rest of the country as well, but the ones that will reap the benefits first will be the states who already have MMJ laws. Don't keep your chin down, keep it up, there are too many of us in Colorado , and we will get to piss on the recent MMJ bill, I can foresee that bill getting "loosened " before the year is out. All people have to do is keep raising hell.
