Wilson SOME 'SIMPLE' QUESTIONS Do I understand correctly that there are in excess of 160 registered dispensaries in our fair city? (I saw that figure quoted by the representatives of the "industry" following the City Council meeting on Nov. 18). I hazard a guess that there are not that many regular drug stores, liquor stores, gas stations, convenience stores or stores of any other such ilk in town. Are there truly so many "addicts", excuse me, "patients" in need of medical marijuana in the Springs? As with any other business, no one goes into it without some thought of profit. Why can these entrepreneurs assume success? Simple questions from a simple man who is naturally losing his thought faculties without the aid of drugs. Howard A.
