Brainstorming/notes (originally done on paper with
pen, but I typed them out here so you could read them)
-
There
are 35 shops that dispense recreational marijuana in Boulder.
-
TheTerrapin Care Station was the first of these to open; it has two
locations, and the company that owns the dispensary, Genetic Locker, LLC,
is the largest grower and supplier of marijuana in Boulder, supplying a small
percent of the other dispensaries, as well as their own
-
Has
greeters, like in Wal-Mart, but dressed in business attire
-
You have to pick a number
-
Only a few people at a time are allowed
into back room for security
-
Basic, middle-class clientele
-
Some bikers, a college age guy with a
broken arm
-
Nice parking lot
-
SUV�s, a few motorcycles, minivans, prius, other nice cars
-
Parking lot is full
-
ATM machine and couch in lobby
-
Desk, and glass display case � bongs,
pipes
-
Room looks like an office for a regular
store
-
Back room looks like a combination of
bakery and pharmacy
-
Walls are rows of plastic bins with
lids, like in a pharmacy, but a bit bigger
-
Display cases with candy and baked
goods, like cupcakes and brownies, and counters that look like they belong in a
pharmacy.
-
Four guys working the counters like
pharmacists
-
They can tell you everything and more
about the pot � how and where it is grown, what type it is, which is better for
anxiety or inflammation or just getting high
-
Guy seems to like talking about history
of growing and how to grow and process it the right way � must use female plant
and the flowers.
-
EXPENSIVE � though probably no more than
it is illegally elsewhere. I don�t know.
-
You can buy just one joint � it is as
long as a cigarette but twice as wide (at least)
-
The guy behind the counter put it into a
plastic bottle with a warning label on it and sealed it. You have to break the
seal to smoke the joint, but you can�t do that in a public place. What are the
rules?

According to CleanSlateNow.org,� one of the
company�s employees,� Chris Woods, donated $31,898 to The Campaign to Regulate
Marijuana Like Alcohol, the primary group supporting Amendment 64.

I can�t find out who he is. Odds are good he
owns the company, but I can�t find the evidence for that.
