Parents accused of child abuse for having medical marijuana operation in home

[Zedleppelin]

Last year a local patient burned to death here in Durango when his grow caught fire. That's pretty big news for this town, and it has come up again and again as the city and county wrestle with the land use issues surrounding commercial marijuana grows.

I'm actually surprised it doesnt happen more often. There are some estimates that there are over 100,000 growers in the state and I havent seen one report of a house fire from a grow in the entire Denver metro area. Thats whats next, its just a matter of time before there is one and the next day Romer will be introducing a bill to stop home grows.
