The MMJ community must also be aware of SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 10-005. This may be on the ballot in Nov. It will ammend section 14, redefining the Patient/Caregiver relationship, narrow and resrtict the affirmitive defense ability of Caregivers and states that "SECTION 14 OF ARTICLE XVIII DOES NOT AUTHORIZE A RETAIL MEDICAL MARIJUANA OPERATION OR A MARIJUANA CULTIVATION OPERATION."
Please read, 4 pages.

"PRIMARY CARE-GIVER"
2 SHALL ASSIST THE PATIENT WITH HANDLING THE EFFECTS AND
3 CONSEQUENCES OF THE DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITION, INCLUDING
4 ADMINISTRATION OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION, ATTENDANCE AT
5 MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, ASSURING THE PATIENT COMPLIES WITH DIETARY
6 REQUIREMENTS, AND ASSISTANCE WITH OTHER DAILY ASPECTS OF THE
7 PATIENT'S HOUSING, SAFETY, AND COMFORT. "PRIMARY CARE-GIVER"
8 SHALL NOT INCLUDE A PERSON WHOSE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE PATIENT
9 INCLUDE ONLY THE CULTIVATION OF MARIJUANA ON BEHALF OF THE
10 PATIENT OR THE PROVISION, SALE, OR DISTRIBUTION OF MARIJUANA TO THE
11 PATIENT.


It seems that this ancillary care foolishness could be totally shitcanned by a simple waiver signed by the patient and kept in the Primary Caregiver's patient file.

Yes indeed. This also eliminates all Dispensaries, or "Wellness Centers". Not to mention taking away the affirmitive defense currently afforded to both Patients and Caregivers under Ammendment 20.
I really need to brush up on Civics 101---This resolution "brings it back to the voters" as our Attorney General has said he wants to do. I don't know the process for adding this kind of resolution to our Nov. ballot. Anyone care to chime in on this?

I think they would need a lot of signatures, like 50,000 to get it on the ballot. Curious what others think.
