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.
