Congress has even less to do with this than Ron Paul....

Is that the form to be filled out by a simple employee? A budtender? The cleanup person? Damned invasive any way you look at it.

Yep. All dispensary employees. More invasive than a proctology exam. But then we are dealing with a lot of congressional buttholes who are bending over backwards to make life difficult for the mmj world.

How in the hell did they get away with this!!?? What business is it of the State's to know a simple employee of a legal business's 10 year work history? Childrens inf.? Full financial disclosure? Past marital history? This is mind boggling? What other employee in the private sector needs to disclose to this level to the State???? Defense contractors? Pharmacies? Liquor stores? AMAZING!

I use the term congressional loosely - referring to politicians. It doesn't invalidate the point. If you have something relevant to the point of the thread, let's here it.

Good questions. I think your response would be typical of most people. If other industries had to jump through these hoops, there would no doubt be such a backlash that the politicians involved would probably be made to walk the plank. This is just another way to undermine this business, not make it more viable.

Maybe nothing to do with this "rule" directly BUT he is THE most outspoken politician on the subject of legalizing cannabis....which is why I like the guy....anyone is better than Obama at this point....

"anyone is better than Obama" ????? Are you kidding? Take a look at Bachman's or Pawlenty's or Romney's stance on this subject. Bachman is so far right I wouldn't put is past her to send troops in to close the whole industry down. That woman is a wack job and so beholden to the Far Right Christian Wing she is pretty much inclined to toss the Constitution in the trash! Pawlenty used his veto power to prevent Medical MJ after the Minnesota Congress passed bills twice. Get real....

I was going to let that bullshit pass, but glad to see AllenScott fielded that one.

To dispensary owners: anyone having concerns regarding the "Associated Person &
Associated Key Medical Marijuana License Application?"

Since the supposed spirit of this application is "...because Colorado citizens want the industry and everyone involved in it free from even the hint of any corruption or deceit. Thatâ??s why we take our regulation of the industry very seriously, including the issuance of licenses", and furthermore, "If you pass our qualifications,you will be found suitable as an associated person/key that will allow you to work in the Medical Marijuana Industry. You should know that a Medical Marijuana license is a privilege, not a right ."

Gosh, I am glad our politicians are looking out for my best interests. Now I can feel assured that whenever I go to a dispensary, the people working there will have been deemed suitable by the higher powers. If only I could feel the same about the people who are making these determinations....

You also have to understand that this is like the Better Business Bureau or the lawyers bar association. All it takes is money to be on the list. It guarantees NOTHING. Its just all part of the game of separating you from some of your hard earned money.

I have to wonder about the validity of your statement Killerweed. It is stated there are qualifications to pass to work in the industry. What are these qualifications? If they are using the information from the license application to see if a prospective employee meets them and can therefore determine who a business employs this is a whole lot more than paying to be on a list don't you think? It seems outrageous and un-american for the state to have the final say on who a private business employs past the requirement of nondiscrimination.

Yes, I know those three oppose mmj, which is why I said, "he is THE most outspoken politician on the subject of legalizing cannabis....".

I apologize for generalizing and not specifying who would be better than Obama....:thumbsup:

You can get off your knees now....

I have one of those licenses hanging around my neck right now. The application took a while as did waiting to get fingerprinted etc, but casino dealers are subject to the same background checks from the DOR. Pharmacists are educated and licensed as well.

There is no rule coming that require an MMC to take a picture of someone at the time of purchase. We have surveillance equipment that is sufficient to do that.

For the patients that come to Denver Relief, not that much is going to change. The cameras have always been there.

We will be weighing our meds on an approved and certified scale that is connected to our POS system, but that doesn't really effect their experience.

Most of the changes are requirements about labeling, packaging, signage for restricted areas, camera angles, and transportation manifests.

I don't like the regulations. My job would be a lot easier without them, but they aren't evil in the way some people suggest. It just is.

This is how it is in America today and if we want to continue to exist as businesses in the future we have to get the Trojan Horse into the castle,but it's not time to jump out just yet.
