Well, you're absolutely right about one thing: the court will decide. We won't have long to wait.

This is tangential, but what do you think would happen if 1284 was sent back to the legislature? I haven't digested the new committees, but one new chair stands out: Bob Gardner, who makes no secret of his desire to close all MMCs: "I don't think the dispensary model is appropriate." He was overruled the first time around, but now he will be the one holding the gavel in those committee hearings. He has a plan to sell MMJ through prescriptions and pharmacies, a de facto death penalty for MMJ in Colorado. I think you would be mistaken to celebrate the end of 1284, because the legislature is much more hostile to marijuana than it was a year ago. There are some unknowns (DelGrasso) and of course Summers, but my read is that a new Republican bill would be more restrictive than the current one.
