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.

Good for the state for being so clear cut...now how about those employees of ours (the state government) listen to US, their bosses. Frankly I no longer recognize any law not petitioned for and voted on by the people. The House, Senate and leo can all suck it. Take the country back, start with our state.

Wrong in this case. The 1000 foot rule includes a local option. Any city, town or county can opt out, home rule or not.

I would say read the law there is an opt out clause for any town, Colorado home rule law does apply according to Corry the State can't have it both ways, they cannot let some cities ban it outright without letting home rule towns allow it outright.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Start packing we have a emergency meeting tonight!

Great news from Corry on this he has agreed to meet with the town Tuesday.
We will try and convince Nederland and some other small towns to join corry's suite.:thumbsup:

there is hope and miracles can happen....

maybe the governor will fall off his bike again and not be able to sign the new law into effect....

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:

Yes, and Netherland can enforce a lesser rule. There are many small towns in this state--that could never reach the 1000 ft. dispensory rule--and other towns have already addressed that issue down to 500'.

even if he doesn't sign it it goes into effect 30 days after it was passed with signature or not.
