New Legislation: HB 11-1043

[COfluffhead]

since there is a 5 year wait on drug convicted felons OWNING a dispensary, do you think the same will apply for felons wanting to WORK for a dispensary? They need to just take that ban away all together

i think they prefer felons to continue on with new and better felonies, rather than settling down to a job gardening.

i am with fluffhead. cuz then herbal elements could come back with the best white ever I fucking miss it. an i have a drug felony for hash in a non-medical state so to do away would be all good with me.

[COfluffhead]

the grower for Herbal Element is itching to get back into the scene. he has a felony for marijuana, and has a few standing job offers with a few different dispensaries once these laws hopefully get changed. He has also changed his growing methods back to his original recipe he had before Herbal Element, and I can attest that his old product was the best I have ever tried

[dankzilla86]

I hope it sure does change for his an my shake. I still have about a gram left of white from the june special lol

denver bear, i think that is only for more than 5 patients.

for 6+ I wonder if there is going to be a fee or guidelines for exact requirements for this? we know if its a judgement call, the DOH will not issue their approval.

What part of the wording of the bill leads you to believe that this applies only to caregivers with more than 5 patients?

The felony clause is unconstitutional, according to the Colorado Constitution restoration of full civil rights is automatically granted upon completion of sentence. It used to be that felons in Colorado could possess firearms until they added an amendment preventing this. Why don't one of you guys effected by this contact the ACLU or hire an attorney and sue?

Sometimes I think the pols have it wrong: I don't particularly care if the smiling bearded guy at the dispensary has felony drug convictions. However, I care a lot if he has convictions for fraud, forgery or identity theft. Dispensaries have my medical records, my social security number, my credit card numbers, signature exemplars, and other sensitive personal data. An aspiring felon could probably buy a car or take out a mortgage with that information. It would make more sense to allow felons with drug convictions, but bar all other felons.

EDIT: Residency requirements are, of course, bullshit and need to go. They benefit no one.

"The bill creates 2 new classes of medical marijuana licenses: A primary caregiver cultivation license, which gives a primary caregiver who has received a waiver to serve more than 5 patients or who grows more than 30 plants at a time the authority to grow medical marijuana only for his or her patients or for the patients of another primary caregiver, if the licensee has been delegated authority over the patients."

(the other limits the infused lic.)

Thanks,

I guess I'm confused. My question had to do with this:

A primary caregiver who cultivates medical marijuana for his or her patients must register the cultivation site and all patient identification numbers with the medical marijuana state licensing authority and comply with all zoning and building codes.

I took you post to mean that if you were a primary caregiver and were growing for 5 patients or less, that you would not have to register the cultivation site, deal with the zoning/building codes, etc. I still don't see anything that would exempt a primary caregiver growing 30 plants or less any exemption from this requirement.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback on this.
