Ive heard "i have no idea WTF this bill is going to do or when most of it starts"

According to the DA of Adams County "Im not aware of a 5 patient cap on HB 1284"


I haven't heard or read in 1284 that caregivers with more patients will be grandfathered in?

"A person shall be listed as a primary caregiver for no more than five patients on the medical marijuana program registry at any given time, except that the state health agency may allow a primary caregiver to serve more than five patients in exceptional circumstances. In determining whether exceptional circumstances exist, the state health may consider the proximity of medical marijuana centers to the patient." Page 60 (6) of 1284

Prior to July 1, 2011, a county, city and county, or municiplality may adopt and enforce a resolution or ordinance licensing, regulating, or prohibiting the cultivation or sale of medical marijuana. In a county, city and county, or municipality where such an ordinance or resolution has been adopted, a person who is not registered as a patient or primary caregiver pursuant to section 23-1-5-106 CRS and who is cultivating or selling medical marijuana shall not be entitled to an affirmative defense to a criminal prosecution as provided for in section 14 of article XVIII of the state constitution unless the person is in compliance with the applicable county or municipal law. Page 5 (2) (a) of 1284.

(c) On and after July 2011, all businesses for the purpose of cultivation, manufacture, or sale of medical marijuana--infused products, as defined in this article, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this article and any rules promulgated pursuant to this article. Page 5

I haven't read yet--where they have given an exact date for caregivers to go "down" to 5 patients?
