Good for you Kathleen. I think all dispensary owners should refuse to fill out their invasive forms in protest and everyone should just ignore 1284.

The penalties of ignoring 1284 will be pretty harsh.

This is an excellent article, I haven't seen it elsewhere.

It does mention the webcams in dispensaries, but the writer also used mattcook as a source, so I'm unclear where that language is in the legislation that discusses camera's.

Shit, maybe Kathleen is right on this one. (re: cameras) That article makes it appear so, at least. I'd be very interested to know where said cameras will be installed, at whose expense, what agencies have access and under what circumstances. Patient confidentiality is protected explicitly by A20, and this would seem a de facto, if not de jure, breach if the cameras are placed in areas where patients are recorded.

so what I want to know is if liquor stores and stores like walgreens etc. subject to the same camera Bull sheet since they are all the same in my eyes.
big brother is going to be watching all of us sooner then later....
camera's in lights and camera's in bathrooms sure to follow...with listening devices hidden in walls and bedrooms...
I might be over over thinking here but not by much.

I was in Releaf the other day, they said they had camera going offsite, and that they (the city or state?) could access them on request.

perhaps the camera requirement is just that the tapes are stored for some period of time? That's standard in a bunch of industries...but I don't know that it is government mandated or that they must provide warrantless access.

what do they think they are going to see on the cameras? people selling cannabis?! the cameras certainly aren't going to provide 100% coverage at any site. what's to accomplish, but intimidation and more cost?

[TheReleafCenter]

They haven't accessed our cameras yet, we set up online backup/offsite storage to be compliance with Denver's ordinance.

I have spoken to people that have contacted cook. They will have cameras EVERYWHERE to monitor EVERYTHING. or you can get audited 2x a week.

But, as well all know Cook says one thing to this person and another to someone else.

Releaf your cameras that you have set up now are at denvers request???

re: cameras

Time will tell I guess? I'll [un]happily stand corrected the first time a dispensary owner points out a government-owned camera to me. We only have to wait two weeks.

Ok so lets compare the MMJ application to the application for a pharmacy. http://www.dora.state.co.us/pharmacy...pplication.pdf

Then for a pharmaceutical wholesale license. http://www.dora.state.co.us/pharmacy...pplication.pdf

You really don't see a problem here?

Note this on the wholesale application.

During the licensing process â?? and depending on the specific application â?? the Division will ask whether you have ever been disciplined in any state, arrested, charged, convicted, or pled guilty to a crime. An arrest, subsequent criminal conviction, or disciplinary action is not an automatic disqualification from licensure. Instead, the appropriate board or program will look at the facts surrounding the criminal conduct and disciplinary action to determine whether you are fit for licensure.

But when it comes to distributing a plant you're SOL.
I don't have any felonies so I'm not just a bitter drug dealer, but apparently if I was just a bitter drug dealer there is always the possibility of selling pharmaceuticals.

No, Denver just requires that we back up off site. No government agency has ever asked to see our cameras, save for the DPD when there was an attempted burglary. Our security footage led to the arrest of three men who had broken into several Denver dispensaries.
