Rob Corry's letter to Renfroe

[Colodonmed]

Amen to that, renfroe must go! What kind of an idiot would want to call out the military on it own citizens. The guy is scary, he needs to resign or be voted out. What a jerk. I am noticing the call for the military to police the citizens seems to be on the rise, such as recently in Chicago. WTH is going on?

Renfroe responds
Medical marijuana attorney Rob Correy demands apology | The Spot

As much as I hate this new legislation, this statement...

Our Colorado Constitution states no person shall engage in the medical use of marijuana in plain view of, or in a place open to, the general publicâ?¦ and the state shall revoke for a period of one year the registry identification card of any patient found to have willfully violated the provisions of this section.

,if correct (I wasn't at the rally so I have no firsthand knowldege of this open use of pot, which would be in clear violation of the same amendment that we are trying to protect), is proof that our own actions are counterproductive. We need to look long and hard about how our own actions are feeding the stereotype that is driving anti MMJ legislation. I did read an article in our local paper here that described the racket that could be heard inside the building as the legislators were debating this bill. This debate wasn't about de facto legalization and wasn't supposed to be. It sounds like we , ourselves, poisoned the atmosphere. It obviously added more fuel to the fire of the opponents who want to characterize us as a bunch of stoner/slackers. It was absolutely stupid to hold a pro-legalization rally (if this is what it was) at such a critical time. All we did was screw ourselves over. Sorry, but if we're going to advocate for the protections of our constitutional rights, we also need to obey the law ourselves.

I've got my asbestos underwear on. Flame away...I'm ready..

I wasn't there either but it was a 420 rally as far as I understand, not a medical marijuana support rally, and the 420 rally's occur all over the U.S. and in many other countries across the globe. It was just coincidental the legislature was discussing the mmj bill on that date at that time. Regardless of the open smoking of marijuana, if enforced by the police as per the constitution as any other law is and or should be that is one thing, but for an elected official to even begin to suggest that the MILITARY should have been used to enforce the law is a very scary statement to me. This is the United States of America, not Iran, Russia, North Korea or any of the other countries that release their own military forces on their citizens. It is wrong! that kind of brings to light all the talk and info about the FEMA detention camps. That representative does not belong in OUR legislature, regardless of every citizens opinion on the use of MMJ, all citizens should be protected from the type of thoughts and statements that renfroe suggested.

.......that really was a bit of an unfortunate coincidence wasn't it? What a great opportunity for grandstanding. OTOH, it would have served us better to have honored the same constitutional amendment that we are slagging them for violating. As far as bringing the military into this.......:wtf:

I agree... but most people, including our Senator, aren't able to make the distinction between a 420 rally and mmj.

The whole "call in the troops" thing should get him fired. Military are not police, and are not trained for that purpose. Suggesting to use a military force against a peaceful protest shouldn't be tolerated.
