Still trying to get a grasp on the growing/cultivating details and how it fits into the regulatory proposals....according to the definitions in the proposed Denver City ordinance to be considered at a public hearing on Jan 11:

"Medical Marijuana dispensary means a business that sells or otherwise distributes marijuana through one or more primary care-givers to six (6) or more patients for medical use, along with any cultivation of marijuana associated with such sale or distribution. The term ??medical marijuana dispensary? shall not include any person or entity that distributes marijuana for medical use exclusively to five (5) or fewer patients, and shall not include the private possession and medical use of marijuana by an individual patient or caregiver to the extent permitted by Article XVIII, Section 14 of the Colorado Constitution and any other applicable state law or regulation."

Accordingly, a caregiver who has 6 or more patients would need to be a licensed dispensary, and therefore meet all the licensing requirements which includes (among other things) restrictions on zoning, i.e., cannot be located in a residential zone? These requirements certainly seem onerous, unjustified and sets the stage for more costly litigation. How many steps backward do we need to go before going forward?
