New Regulations for Medical Marijuana in Colorado

[senorx12562]

The State and the cities are going to find their attempts at regulation, especially of growers, essentially useless if the risk of prosecution is the same as it always was. Who would be dumb enough to comply with a registration requirement as long as they are still busting growers?

Colorado Board Of Health Holds Emergency Meeting To Determine Definition Of Medical Marijuana "Caregiver" by Huffington Post

The Colorado Board of Health is planning to hold an emergency meeting Tuesday to discuss removing a regulation that defines who can legally sell marijuana. The meeting comes in response to a ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals last week in which the court decided that, in order to qualify as a 'primary caregiver' who can sell medical marijuana, one must do more than simply sell pot to patients.

According to a document released by the court, the purpose of the meeting is "to remove the rule's conflict with the Colorado Court of Appeals decision." The rule currently states that "shopping or making any necessary arrangement for access to medical care or services or provision of medical marijuana" is enough to qualify as a legal provider.

Westword reports that the medical marijuana group Sensible Colorado is interpreting the meeting as a significant threat to medical marijuana in Colorado. The group's web-site declares "This is not a drill, people. Threat Level Red!"
