COLORADO - To the Editor, My name is Nick Brown. I am the president for the dispensary located in Silverthorne called High Country Healing. I am writing in response to the article from Jan. 8, 2010, discussing the new zoning ordinances for dispensaries in Alma. With all do respect to The Flume and its staff, I strongly believe that this article misperceived Mark January and myself.

The article portrayed Mark and me simply as capitalistic businessmen, solely looking to capitalize off the profitability of this budding industry. While we certainly expect to make a decent living, that is not the driving force behind our partnership. We both truly want to help people, and this is evident by the model in place at my dispensary in Silverthorne. We offer the lowest prices in the state, and at the same time offer as high a quality and selection in our medicines as one will find at any dispensary across the state. We have witnessed cannabis change hundreds, if not thousands, of lives for the better over many years, and we want every patient that needs this medicine to be able to afford it. That is why we are highly affiliated with organizing a new "nonprofit" collective called Americamm (Americamm.org). Americamm will be qualifying extremely debilitated patients for 100 percent free medicine to help improve their lives.

My family and the smiles of others surrounding me are the most important things in my life, and always will be. I know that Mark January and our other Alma partners share the same heart as I do, and that is why I am proud to affiliate myself with such great people for this cause. I have been extremely blessed throughout my life, hold a Princeton degree, and am ready to give back!
