I'm the first to applaud anyone who participates in this process, but showing up at hearings is just one element of successful advocacy. The MMED hearings were almost entirely MMC related, as well; time would be better spent at the CDPHE.

There are too many on the sidelines who don't want their name as part of public record on this. I can't judge them, but I also don't think they should be surprised. As for the cameras, they can't be challenged until they're part of the code, so we'll have to cross that bridge when we get to it.

The CDPHE already tried to pass this by emergency rule in 2009, this hardly new or propaganda.

The DoR board embraced working with centers to draft rules. The CDPHE, on the other hand, gives me the impression they look down on medical marijuana. They'd probably put medical in quotation marks.

As for "them" and if we're a part, we're pretty clear about where we stand on issues. Your assertion seems highly speculative at best.

I'd argue that caregivers should have been more fox-like. Several lobbying groups have already raised thousands of dollars and folded before the first caregiver lead group has even formed.

Even if my voice was heard, All I'd win is the ability to continue loosing about $200 a month in expenses.
I hear you. I'm doing almost all of this on my free time, and I'm finding I have less and less every day.

Send them a poorly worded e-mail (the ones you get back usually are). Know your council person by name and make sure they know yours. Get on CTI's e-mail list and know when events are happening. Talk to other people about it.
