I think this most recent proposal has a lot of things they know they wont get passed (like the 5 patient rule) so they can use them bargaining chips. so however it reads now wont be the same after they pass this new proposal, and my guess is they will do this again every year. never happy are they?
There is some solace in that; however, I worry too much. There are three laws in the works: one by Romer, one supposedly by the CO County Sheriff's, and one by the Denver city council. Quite the coordinated attack. They are doing their best to re-criminalize patients and their caregivers....back to the dark ages. The first reading of the Denver city council version is going on....now.
