Do not limit MMJ patient's rights! Contact Officials - NORML

A week and two days ago today.

Its offically been a week and two days since the Therapuetic Herbal Center has opened its doors. Gregg has had a great start 2 days into being open he ran out of merchandise, has a list of 55 more patients wanting to get signed up and all ready thinking about leasing another building. I sit down in Gregg's office with his girlfriend and we start talking.

Here is a little bit of a back story. Three years ago Gregg was working on a Rig in Colorado when a Pressure Gauge of 2800 PSI exploded and hit him in the forehead. After being in a coma for 2 months he woke and started taking 35 to 90 pills a day. Getting frusturated with the Dr.s telling him how he "should feel" and telling him the medication should help with his tremors and seiszures, he looked to Medical Marijuana to help him. Fast forward to now. He moved to Grand Junction and started to wonder "why hasnt anyone opened a dispensary on the western slope?" He just kept it in the back of his mind. His girlfriend came home with a newspaper article that got the ball rolling. William Hewitt a MMJ patient in Montrose Co was getting a dispensary started up. Gregg went over to Montrose to meet him and discuss the in's and out's of a dispensary. On his way home Gregg decided that night that he wanted to open a dispensary up in Grand Junction.



I get an overwhelming feeling talking to Gregg that its not just about him but about the Community. He wants patients to have integrity coming into and leaving his shop. He wants the Therapeutic Herbal Center done legal, done right and he is here to inform everyone. "Its about the patient, no negativity, and I want everyone to feel comfortable." He pauses for a second "What did your mother tell you when you were growing up?" Gregg asks. "You can do anything you want" he says. The dispensary is only the begining of what he has planned.

So here I was ready to head down to the Therapeutic Herbal Center fully expecting to be greeted with some kind of protest and have people in full uproar. It was quite the opposite. No protest no "angry mob" nothing. Just people in need of some relief. The Dr.'s were kind enough to start seeing people before 10 a.m. (the original start time). Everyone seemed to be in an upbeat positive mood.

I looked around in the "strip mall" and it's like any other day around here. I guess in the back of my mind it wasn't a matter of when the protesters showed up it was a matter of when are they going to leave? I introduced myself to Gregg and he seemed very excited, I told him I will be back to talk later. Shortly after 12 our local news man Mike Daniels showed up with camera in hand. I can't wait to see how they are going to spin the event today. (Although they haven't said anything negative about the shop so far.) I guess what I am trying to say is maybe this town isn't so bad after all? Only time will tell.

Medical Marijuana Store opens doors today!

Its finally happened! New dispensary opening its doors. Owner Greg Davis and staff have opened up the doors today to not only dispense MMJ, today there is a Dr. on site to help patients in need of alternative medicine. You need medical records, and $200 to see the Doc. I will stop by in the morning to take pictures and tonight I will meet with Gregg davis to discuss keeping the community engaged and united.

A Medical Marijuana Workshop in Los Angeles May 23-24,2009

Thursday, May 7, 2009

Cannabis Career Institute Workshop May 23-24

The Cannabis Career Insitute is going to be hosting a workshop on May 23 and 24, 2009 on how to safely own and operate a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. As the Charles Lynch case has shown us, the DEA seems intent on ignoring State's Rights, and the laws passed by states who have legalized Medical Marijuana. With 14 states having legalized Medical Marijuana, and with several others (including my own state of New York), it is imperiative that Medical Marijuana growers, suppliers, caregivers and patients have reliable sources of information so that they can take every step possible to be safe against the DEA's war on Medical Marijuana, which amounts to a war on innocent American Citizens. The Cannabis Career Institute is helping to fill a void that needs to be filled.

If you cannot make this workshop, they have a online course available through their Cannabis Career Institute web site.
