editorial from: Proper pot rules and an overreach - Boulder Daily Camera

"Nonsense: The Colorado Department of Revenue`s Medical Marijuana Advisory Board has included in its proposal for regulations an idea to have the entire registry of medical marijuana users available to law enforcement 24/7. Considering that marijuana use is still illegal under federal law, we urge the state to dump this suggestion. We`re not talking about people in custody, someone who has crashed their car, or people who have been caught with marijuana who need to have the legality of their usage checked with the state: We`re talking about everyone. This flies in the face of the intent of the constitutional law. Law-abiding Coloradans are entitled to keep their health information private."

unfortunately they also like the DUI one. go make comment!

I couldn't agree more!:stoned:

But if this is truly medical marijuana, shouldn't it be tracked like any other medication? We don't allow people to make pharmaceuticals in their homes and distribute them, regardless of how safe they are.

If you're talking about legalization, I think you make a fair point. I just feel like at this point we're muddling the two.



I disagree with you on stimulating growth, but let's turn the law of unintended consequences on it's head. If you remove marijuana from the black market, do we see a rise in illicit, highly addictive drugs? An increase in border violence as cartels struggle to retain power? I certainly wouldn't use either of these as arguments against legalization, anymore than say... a repeal of DADT may make some people uncomfortable, because it's the right thing to do. Unintended consequences are funny like that, though.

Should the government allow use of other relatively harmless substances, like LSD or mushrooms? MDMA? Do they have the right to tell you to wear your seatbelt? That you can't yell fire in a movie theater?

Just trying to get some bearings on where you're coming from.

Yes, I believe that ALL drugs should be legal for any adult without a prescription. The consequences of their illegality are just too much worse for society as a whole than if they are legal to justify their prohibition, especially in light of the ineffectiveness of prohibition at keeping substances out of peoples hands. That is as a matter of policy. As a matter of morality, I believe it is absolutely immoral to attempt to enforce through violence or the threat thereof, which is government's only tool, my ideas or anyone else's about what someone else should put in their body. Unlike ds0110, I don't believe it should be subsidized though.

As to yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre, that is merely an example given by Oliver Wendell Holmes as to when the Government is justified in punishing speech even in light of the first amendment. That exception to "freedom of speech" was justified because of the danger to the rest of the people in the theatre from the resulting stampede of people trying to get out. My right to throw a punch without punishment ends at the tip of your nose.

Again this is all part of the plan (To shut down 90% of the shops that were open back then, 2009)

I am glad at least one MMC can see this. What is sad is that people are pouring their life savings into this business are will be crushed by the state.

I think they can see it.

They are in hopes that maybe most of the posters here are the fringe :wtf: time will tell

Most dont want MMCs to close but from what Ive seen it does not look good.People will find any way they can to skirt around 1284 and that will mean letting MMCs die

The market effect alone is killing most of them.

That's right they create an environment where the margins are so low, the risk/ reward ratio doesn't look so good anymore, and it will be hard for many to survive just on the fact that margins are so low and the upfront and operating cost have become so high and restrictive.:wtf:
