Legislators draft new marijuana bill

This is the ONE guy who scares me a bit.
Maybe we should start a movement to VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE!!!!

"By limiting caregivers to five patients, Massey said potentially half of the dispensaries in Colorado could be driven out of business.
"There's not as much money in it. It's less cost effective if dispensaries only serve five patients," Massey explained"
I don't understand how this will cut down the number of dispensaries. With now more than 20,000 patients that would mean we'd need 4000 dispensaries rather than the 200 that are around now. Is he assuming the number of patients is going to be drastically reduced somehow?
There must be a limit on the amount of marijuana produced and sold at any licensed premise.
â?¢ Eliminating non-medical dispensaries as well as the loopholes through which patients can purchase from multiple dispensaries.
this is what concerns me....i tried to warn people about what they were up to .

I'm ready to donate to whoever opposes him - Democrat or Republican. He's a wolf in sheeps clothing... though this bill doesn't seem patient friendly even one bit, I can't imagine anyone believes its good for patients.... though he tried to talk the talk at DU, he doesn't get it at all!!!!!!!!
He spoke directly to the MMJ community on a few occasions and made it seem like he was on our side and wanted what we wanted. But he pulled the ol' bait-n-switch. He is another politician who talks out of both sides of his mouth. He lulled us only to make us more inactive.
I wrote him a long letter yesterday and I hope you will to.
And I should mention, if Romer fucks this industry up, he'll wear that crown and hopefully will be pushed out of office.
what he seems to not understand is not only are the med people that are here against his bs tons of people are moving here from all over mainly for the meds that will be there for them.so he keeps his bs up it should be pretty easy to remove him...as i said should be.
Remember YOU the people of the great state of colorado voted medical marijuana in and you have just as much power to vote out anyone who doesnt follow the state's constitution. :jointsmile:
I think I see what's happening here. If you've seen both of the legislative proposals I've seen (Romer's and what I've seen called the "law enforcement" proposal, which I think came from the county sheriffs of Colorado, and by the way, why do they need their own lobbyists?) you know that of the two, the latter is by far scarier. I'm starting to think this is intentional. What if the plan all along was to try to gain the support of our community by having a proposal up for consideration at the same time as Romer's that is so draconian and so obviously designed to wipe out MMJ as a business that Romer's looks good (well almost) by comparison? Wouldn't surprise me a bit.
People, DON"T BE FOOLED. Demand from your legislators an explanation of why any regulation is needed at all. I have not heard a cogent argument for this at all. Lots of hand-wringing and bare statements that "something must be done" but no actual reasons why. Anytime our illustrious lawmakers, state or federal, start saying that they are bout to fuck something up or screw somebody (in this case both). The first thing they must always convince us of is why is not the best thing to do nothing? What is the harm that is sought to be addressed? Show me some examples of the "crisis" you claim exists.
Then and only then, if you actually believe that there is a problem ( which in this case I most certainly do not, but I suppose reasonable people could disagree) should solutions be discussed. Then, remember that the choices of regulatory approaches are limitless, and we are not limited to the two discussed above. If they cannot agree on a plan that does not cause more harm than good, which every proposal I've seen so far would do, they should DO NOTHING, not do something just to be seen to do something. That government governs best that governs least.
as u know this is what iv'e been saying most on these boards"mostly non growers" give the state tons of ammo to use against us.they whine that everything is over priced no good and a rip off.the leo and state love this kindda talk.seeing it as a huge failure that only they can step in and fix.you know who is gunna pay the much bigger price in the end? the patient.these cry babies thing it's rough now and price is a rip off just wait people.it's funny that these peeps thing it's a rip off to pay a grow for his work but when state jumps in and takes over and doubles or triples the price there just fine with it roflmao..Quote:

meded so you can mededicate to mededitate
i'd rather be that than a person that lives blind in the world thinking everything is a ok.you know what they say about when one puts his gaurd down.Quote:

Keep regulation local if you must, but please don't be so hasty to give up your constitutional rights we all fought so hard to secure.

Actually the city of Denver has its own regs in the works. The rest of the state always gets saddled with legislation meant to address problems limited to urban areas. It has always been that way.Quote:

They will be attempting to prosecute more medical users and growers, just you wait.
I thought Corry was going to offer up some alternative legislation?
