Ritter still not signed 1284

[rightwinger]

I'm not familiar with Colorado law on this issue but I have heard that if he doesn't sign it, it will still become law, it will just be something he can deny responsibility for having a part in. My source said he would have to actually veto it in order for it to die.

I have a tendency to agree with you. It was Ritter that insisted that counties and cities were to be able to ban dispensories within them-as he threatened he would veto the bill if it didn't include that. Both sides of the issue are threatening suits as soon as he signs it--and if he doesn't veto it--and just lets it go without his signature--then he is taking the political back door out.

Even though he isn't running for re-election--he may be looking down the road for another elected office--so he doesn't sign--then he can make a political claim that he had nothing to do with 1284--LOL.

Typical political manuever--but there will be many in this state that won't forget that Ritter had a lot to do with this bill. Mainly the law suits coming out of it--that will unfortunately cost the taxpayers of this state millions to defend against.

We'll see--but it would be appropriate since he is letting this one ride--that the deadline for dispensory owners be extended also.

I highly doubt Ritter is going to sign. He is a p*ssy. It will pass here in a week or so and then the real show will begin. Lawsuits are already being put together to fight this POS bill.

yup i hope the state is ready to spend millions and a year just fighting these lawsuits that are coming their way.lol i guess this is what they ment by putting it back into the people hands and what they really voted for.what a great way to use tax payer resources.they should have known the people would not stand for this bs.

i hope it breaks their asses.

well it would make sense cause obama is not for legal mmj. obama is not for legal mmj infact he has never said that but obama lovers seem to want to read more into what he really said.from what i got out of it was he wanted to find a better way to fight the war on drugs cause the system we have now is not working.then he goes on to say out of his own mouth im not for legal mmj...

that's right but they go into effect on the 12th even if he does not sign it.

To be frank, this whole thing just piss's me off! We came out from the underground "tried to get along" For the first time in 28 years I felt a measured level of "comfort". I don't know about you, for me the weed is my life... I like many others came "broken" I could cop out and take more of what they try to shove down my gullet that feels like I just get sicker when I take it. I choose weed. They will never understand why I have more prescribed med's at the end of the month, then recommended med's at the end of a month... :hippy: I hope it works out for all of us :wtf:

only way i see it is if this does pass everyone needs to pour into the streets and make it known that this is bs.
