Nederland to Craft Stronger Marijuana Laws that protect Patient Rights!

We have contacted all the members of the board of trustees and they are all on board to save the town of Nederland from the State. 1284 with the 1000 ft rule from any school pre school or church puts all 7 Nederland dispensaries out of Biz. We will not drive to the big metropolitan areas for our meds! If needed Civil disobedience will occur the shops will stay open until we are arrested and we will vow to keep re-opening, we will not take this sitting down (unless it's in the streets to block all traffic from coming into town).
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I wondered how the smaller towns were going to fair with this rule. It's obvious when they were dreaming up all these rules they were only thinking of the big metro areas of Colorado. Small towns just don't have the room to be 1000' from schools, preschools, etc., etc....

is Ned a home rule city?

if so, opt out of the bill completely and remove the felony exclusion!

not at this time but we surly could make that happen if needed!

this is what will need to happen. unless you are a home rule city, you cannot opt out of state law.

Aren't you clever!

:thumbsup:

just got the paperwork delivered to petition for home rule, we only need 68 signatures (a benefit of a small town). :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

kickass. Congrats on something that could work.

I'm surprised Ned wasn't home rule already. It would put all local taxes back into the town, instead of splitting it with the state. Downside is there is lots more to pay for on the local level.

We beat them at their own game with their own tools.

Personally I do not see that being legal. State laws rule over all county laws just like federal laws over rule all state laws. I would be willing to bet if you have a dispencary within a 1,000 foot of a school the state will step in and arrest you and pad lock your doors.

The only way a city or county can have something different is if when a law is written the state allows for a city or county to be able to vote or allow this or that.

Kind of like in the law where the state makes mention to the fact a city or county can decide is they want store fronts to be able to sell marijuana

The state is very clear cut on the 1,000 foot rule when it comes to schools. I also think there are certain law enforcement officer that are bitting at the bit to close down dispencaries.
