STUPID STONER STORY

A great thing happened last year. 2009 saw the explosion of medical marijuana dispensary all across the state including Denver. Several cities put moratoriums in place, outlawing all form of dispensaries with in the city limits. The reason for the moratoriums in the cities are not only driven by pure and un-adulterated ignorance but out of simple fear. Fear because like everything else in life the he public vision of a dispensary is incorrect. They have a vision that a dispensary 1880's opium type den filled to the top with marijuana, hippies sitting around "getting high" while owners, "The Mexican drug cartels" count all the 10's of thousands of dollars they've made that day.

ith the economic downfall, people are broke and hungrier than ever. Around the same time several of the new dispensaries were blooming, Denver was also seeing another trend, not like anything seen before. In the month of December, Denver saw 20 bank robberies, a number not seen since the early Wild Wild West days when gunslingers walked these same streets proud, but people aren't running around demanding that we close all the banks???

What needs to happen, is the public will open there eyes, educate themselves of cannabis, the state and the city laws and soon the public will realize that robbing a dispensary is pointless. There is little medicine on site at all times and the cash isn't in the building to long and most have alarms now and the police are close by at all time. Much like a 7-11. People stopped robbing those after they realized it wasn't worth robbing and the chance of getting caught were high. Until then we will keeping getting stories like this that come though the wire.
