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?

-          A review of it : http://www.thecannabist.co/2014/05/23/terrapin-care-station-folsom-boulder-recreational-shop-review-ombudsman/12068/

-          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.
