In what way?

Two judges have ruled the 5 patient per caregiver rule unconstitutional for starters.


You'll still be able to charge for caregiver services. I'm sure my patients will pay for my work in other forms.

It was never ruled unconstitutional. CDPHE tried implementing a 5 patient limit and it was challenged in court. The judge ruled that CDPHE didnt follow proper procedure when they added the rule by not holding a public hearing first. CDPHE then held a very long hearing and afterwards voted to not implement the plan. I do think it would be ruled unconstitutional if it ever got to that point but it hasnt yet.

and it never will like i have said many many times b4.they want both sides of the pie here.they want it legal to a gov controlled degree so they can rape money that way from the people then they also want it illegal so the leo's can rape you on their end as well. they are pretty much saying the small guy is the evil drug dealer but as long as you have tons of money you can throw their way then mmj is safe.lmao it just sickens me to think of all those small guys that just sunk their life savings into opening up shop and now will lose everything they have and prob even thier house.

also on another note don't anyone kidd their selfs leo is chomping at the bit laying in wait for this to pass.just watch all the raids that go on in the near future and then a full out blitz when it passes.

So much of this shit is unconstitutional its unreal. The owner of Grateful Meds did a stand up job testifying on behalf of all patients and caregivers.

I believe their are several areas that are unconstitutional. So I believe there is a very good chance this will go to the courts and will be overturned. Another strategy is for everyone to lobby Gov. Bill Ritter to veto this bill if it passes. He is not running for re-election so he really has nothing to win or loose politically. And if we all get screwed? We need to boycott the New Mega Dispensary Model they are setting up. Have mass public disobedience, and put Complete & Total Legalization on the Ballot.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

You're definitely right, it always comes down to money. IMO though I dont think this will pass in its current form, there are just to many things that would not stand a legal test. Barring felons is blatently unconstitutional and forcing dispensaries to provide their own product violates Federal anti-trust laws but who the hell knows. Kudos to Rob Corry and Lauren Davis for not selling out and standing by the patient/caregiver, if not for these two we would not be where we are today.

Well what the hell do I know. The Senate Committee last night approved it with a 6-0 vote and now moves to the Senate Appropriations Committee and then will be voted on by the full Senate.

agreed and romer needs to be voted out in nov.but we know that will never happen.im starting to think he is going for that 1 big sellout payday b4 he goes.

[copobo]

how is Clair Levy holding up on this? the bill hasn't passed yet, I guess the feeling is it will?

Ritter is anti-pot (an ex prosecutor). so you can forget about a veto. He's 100% behind 109.

As I predicted many moons ago the ganja business will be ruled by the big boys and all the little growers will be unable to compete.
So much for the pipedream of power to the people.
