Lawsuit to target pending medical marijuana dispensary regulations

[lampost]

Wow man gotta hand it to you fellas! You're way more dedicated than I. I just don't have enough disposable income to give money to this cause...

[Justabloke]

Gawd dont' I know that Lampy.

I feel like a real ass at SAFER's bday party last night when others were giving $200 to the cause I was giving $5 and even that will hurt me til the first of the month. But, on the other hand Mason fights real hard for us so every movement requires some personal sacrafice and mine was a whole $5.

I reconsile not having the money with knowing bloke do good!

So when this lawsuit is filed, what is the very best that can happen and worst and is there any in between? I've heard injunction, what would that mean?

I feel like right now all the DEA agencies and drug task forces are making a list and the day this becomes law, they will be checking it twice.

EDIT: Also does someone have a timeline? When does what take effect and how can the lawsuit affect that??

Injunction would put implementation of the law on hold.

Good question

I think the lawsuit sounds a fair one that I'll follow with interest. I'm glad it's limited to a few provisions. In my opinion, the first and fifth provisions are the ones that are potentially harmful to patients. The other three they chose to target will only benefit the operators of dispensaries if they are removed.

Specifically, the attorneys take issue with five provisions: the five-patient limit on caregivers who operate outside the state-sanctioned "center" model;

Needs to go. Caregivers still won't be able to sell their medicine commercially in dispensaries. (a good thing) Limiting the number of patients is needless and potentially harsh on the patients. Needs to go.

the licensing fees levied on those dispensaries who do reorganize under the state-guided "wellness center" model

...should be substantial, and commensurate with licensing fees charged to other businesses. I generally support licensing fees, but if they are too high, they need to be brought into line.

requirements mandating that owners or wellness centers have been Colorado residents for at least two years;

Silly protectionist crap that should go.

the ban on granting licenses to anyone accused or convicted of felony crimes;

*shrug* I like felon-free businesses of all kinds. The article doesn't go into enough detail.

and allowing cities and towns to ban dispensaries altogether.

Fine with me, honestly.

Question: corry said they'd be sueing for extensive licence fees...I read the bill and the fee hasn't been set yet. I heard from someone that was at the third reading that it may be 5,000. Anyone hear anything?

I thought the number being kicked around was 35K, don't quote me though. And then 10K for each off-site grow operation.

That's old news. They then dropped it to a sliding scale of 7,500-18k dependingon how many patients you had. I heard it dropped to 5kbut that I can't confirm

I heard this morning from a news 4 reporter Alan something, that Romer told him $25,000.00

I wish there was something more solid. I can't afford 25k
But Romer also has been known to run his mouth even if the rest of the Senate doesn't agree
