This is a letter I wrote to the Chair of the Judiciary Committee:

Dear Representative Levy,

I understand that the Colorado House Judiciary Committee will vote this Monday on HB 1284, a bill that would regulate medical marijuana dispensaries.
Please do not discriminate against citizens that have been victimized by an unjust drug war and disastrous national policy on Marijuana. I myself have over 20 years experience in the medical sciences working in Cardiopulmonary, Nuerodiagnostics, Polysomnography, Emergency Medicine and have managed Sleep Laboratories. But I also have a felony conviction for possession of Marijuana. Please do not discriminate against me by not allowing me to own my Dispensary in Nederland, or even be allowed to grow for others or myself. ( I too am I MMJ Patient from a severe neck injury resulting in my neck being fused). I thought when a person has been convicted of a crime, sentenced by a judge and served their time that they had paid their debt to society. Please do not penalize me twice for a crime. I just don't think that is what the authors of our constitution had in mind.
I urge you to keep patients needs in mind. Please do not restrict where patients can live or force them to give up their right to grow, if they choose to designate a caregiver.
Please do not let cities ban dispensaries. Patients get sick in all corners of Colorado and dispensaries should be allowed to service patients in their home communities.
Finally, please let veterans with PTSD have access to medical marijuana. I work with several Vets that have PTSD which I relate with very well since I have the same diagnosis. And Medical Marijuana works wonders for controlling symptoms.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Rose RPSGT:wtf::wtf::wtf:
GratefulMeds Reviewed by GratefulMeds on . Simple Version of HB1284: How it impacts mmd's House Bill 1284 is a 48-page monstrosity seeks to eliminate 80% of existing dispensaries. HB1284 would: · Create a "Medical Marijuana Enforcement Investigator" that would be allowed to perform warrantless searches of dispensaries. They would be able to come in and count and weigh a dispensary's cannabis and pore over patient records to make sure the dispensary didn't have "too much." They would be able to do this repeatedly and with no warning and no probable cause to suspect wrongdoing. Rating: 5
