I'm pleading with you all to PLEASE CONTRIBUTE to saving Coloradan's constitutional rights to access, use and provide mmj. The people of Colorado need a declaratory judgment regarding the unconstitutional medical marijuana language that will go into effect July 1, 2011 and more on July 31, 2011. We need an additional $10,000 by close of business Monday, June 20 to file an urgent and necessary lawsuit. I have paid $30,000 out of pocket, and been able to raise all but the $10,000 in cash or check we need immediately. We are here in this 11th hour because many who have promised help have not come through. SO NOW I'M BEGGING!

And, no, I am not exaggerating the need or the urgency. We cannot let LAW ENFORCEMENT or politicians circumvent the constitution. The rest of the world is watching Colorado and (many) following our troubling path. Colorado is the only place in the world where it is legal to make a profit off of mmj and the only place in the world where residents have a constitutional right to mmj. This is the battleground and we will not sit here while our constitution gets stomped out without a vote of the people.

Patients all over the state are not renewing or registering with the (optional) state registry, due to the fact that they will be recorded live via video/internet by the Dept of Revenue Medical Marijauna Enforcement Division and it will be shared with the DEA. The protected state registry with the CDPHE is now turning into a non protected DoR registry that is also shared with the DEA.

Patients are devastated they signed up at all. Only state registered patients will be permitted to shop in medical marijuana centers beginning July 1. So with the patients unwilling to incriminate themselves or give up their privacy (of which I agree), there will be very few patients qualified to even shop in centers. Centers are already feeling the loss of business and many are closing or being closed down.

This week, the CDPHE, passed (unconstitutional language) that says "mmj patients cannot operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of mmj." It also says "patients cannot undertake ANY "task" while under the influence of mmj that would cause negligence or professional malpractice." "Under the influence" currently is any amount of THC over zero. 120,000 patients are now questionable criminal suspects when it comes to parenting, working and driving. It would seem the only people who might qualify next month are hospice patients who have no kids and no job or task ahead except to die. This is devastating patients and voters alike, eleven years after A20!
