den of thieves

I imagine, the reason they take financials and everything is because it is their task to ensure that black-market "criminals" aren't getting into the industry.

Back taxes and child support were some of the biggest issues I heard preventing people from getting their license.

I'll admit, its a bitch, but I think marijuana decrim and legalization is worth it and I see regulation as a step in the right direction even when I don't really agree with the rules.

What a joke. The only difference between dispensary owners and 'black market criminals' is dispensaries paid a lobbying group and fucked everyone in the process. No wonder you think its a step in the right direction.

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 Rating: 5

I asked you cologal if the license application in the link you posted was required of ALL employees and you responded:

"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."

It would appear you were not correct in your response. There is a "Support Employee Occupational License Application" on the forms page:

Department of Revenue - Enforcement Group:Forms

This is the information required for a simple employee to be licensed. It's not nearly as inquisitive as the "Key Employee Occupational License Application" for owners and managers. I should have checked your information myself before getting so angry.

Thanks DenverRelief for the redirection.

As I read the Support Employee Form and looking at the Investigation Authorization To Release Information, one is still waiving confidentiality rights regarding finances and taxes, as well as allowing investigation into all other "relevant" information and facts to "their" satisfaction. That and background checks are still a lot more an invasive scrutiny even as a lowly support employee as compared to a bartender, or a teacher or clergy or....and will no doubt discourage some who have nothing to hide.

Of course teachers have background checks too, but that process is initiated by filling out a fingerprint card, which also includes a physical description. I don't see why the same process isn't sufficient for owners and investors of cannabis-based businesses. I don't disagree with the idea of background checks, but the application should be trimmed. As a consumer my only interest is to keep the criminals out of the business, and that could be accomplished without the unnecessary collection of private data from these applicants.
