I think they have no choice to change and revamp 1284 because they see the numbers and they know they are down since July when all this crap started to go into effect and we lost so many good people in the movement. And it's coming straight from the DOR in my opinion because the see if they stay on the path they are on they will have wounded very badly Colorado's golden goose (it's not dead but it's not producing those eggs like it used to). And I would like to think and hope it's some Senators and State Representatives down there that know in their brains and hearts that the rushed through flawed legislation that has hurt many of their constituents, some literally have had their financial lives ruined just so these politicians would not be embarrassed in the press and seen as doing something, the legislative session has started this week, we really couldn't wait 6 months and then have a whole session the create a law regarding MMJ? They had to push it through in the last weeks of last years session because? Well the press said so there would be panic in the streets. Although they would admit on record (politicians) they hadn't even read the bill and then would have a vote. Let us all hope that some politicians with courage can get this thing in Colorado fixed and back in the hands of the people.
Did you notice after it was passed all those horror stories disappeared from the press? Classic reefer madness propaganda " Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it".
