Romer said he expects to file his legislation this week. Romer said his bill could "close down as much as 50 percent of the existing retail structure" for medical marijuana.

Today's headlines center on Sen Romer's proposal to further regulate the MMJ industry. Friends, there are more than a few floaters in this legislation. Here are a few that particularly stink:

-Licensing clinics and growers and make them prove they aren't a harm to the community.
-Owners and managers of clinics must undergo FBI criminal background checks that cost thousands.
-Allow municipalities/counties to impose a tax of up to 10% of the purchase price in addition to existing sales, which only punishes the patient.
-Patients under 21 must go through a special board to become certified.
-Allow chiropractors and registered nurses to sell MMJ to 20% of their patients w/o getting a license.
-Allow physical therapists and optometrists to provide 20 patients w/ MMJ w/o a license.

I guess Romer thinks chiropractors, nurses, physical therapists and optometrists know more about and do a better job growing MMJ than those who are already caregivers and dispensary owners. What an insult! Hey, lets tax the hell out of the consumer so they go back to the black market! Great idea, Romer.

What is Romer's motives behind this? Is he over-extending himself for the sake of negotiation? Is he getting special favors from the chiropractor lobby? Is he trying to gain political capital to help him follow in his father's footsteps? WTF? How about giving me a hand and email this guy and give him a piece of your mind... [email protected]
