I'm curious about this as well. My understanding is that Colorado's laws include a fair amount of oversight of anyone growing pot for sale to others. In many ways the regulations make it tougher on "small time" growers, and almost demand a certain scale in order to ensure profitability. This leads to practices like machine-trimming, etc., which do have an impact on quality, essentially turning it into just another industrial crop.

So a related question would be: do you think more people will end up growing their own, or depending on dispensaries?

Seeing as how the EU has pushed so hard for austerity, I'm struggling (as an outsider) to understand why Ukrainians would want closer ties with the EU. What's your take on this? Is Democracy seen as the lesser of two evils, vs. strengthening ties with Russia? Or are there other benefits to EU participation that people are hoping for?
