July 24, 2010 Bringing Nationalism Back to Denver Event Skyline #2 Park In order to welcome back the Colorado contingent that celebrated Independence Day in Washington, D. C. at the annual 4th of July Hemp Coalition rally, there will be a gathering in downtown Denver this Saturday in Skyline #2 Park, next to the historical Daniels and Fisher "clock tower" building. The purpose of this event is to educate the marijuana community on knowing their rights to be effective in advocating for the legalization of marijuana on the local and national fronts as well as to energize marijuana enthusiasts, activates, and advocates for the upcoming year and 2011 Denver 420 Rally. 2012 is the goal for the re-legalization of marijuana in Colorado and by knowing our rights and how to affectively lobby legislation, re-legalization of marijuana is less than a couple years away. This means collectively we have a lot of work to do in the next year and a half. 10am to 4:20pm: Speakers including Attorney Robert J. Corry, Jr., Attorney Tae Darnell, Professor Bob Melamede, Cannabis Science CEO and Miguel Lopez, community organizer 4:20pm: Social Hour 5:20pm to 8:20pm: CopWatch Training - 3 part program 8:20pm: Outdoor showing of two movies: Grass and War on Drugs Sponsored by Mile High NORML |

Legalize 2012 |
Re-Legalize 2012 The freedom-based initiative is Legalize 2012, a grassroots
campaign to place an initiative on the Colorado ballot to
relegalize cannabis and hemp in Colorado for adults for
all uses. While it is vital that Colorado create a system
of distribution for patients that works, at this point,
we believe the best way to accomplish this is by full relegalization.
The ballot initiative will be modeled after freedom-based
models to legalization, which reject the sin taxes and over-regulation
promoted in other models. The Re-Legalize 2012 Project is
currently forming a fundraising board & ballot initiative
language committee. Please contact us to get involved or
donate.

Medical Marijuana Action Alert
Vol 21 May 19, 2010 Failure to Meet Deadlines May Be Treated As Criminal Offenses and Prosecuted. All Medical Marijuana Centers that are operational, or have applied to Local Licensing Authorities before July 1, 2010, will be allowed to continue to operate (or start operation) after July 1, 2010. (However, Please Note Conditions Listed Below.) If you have not applied for a local license or are in a community that has a Moratorium extending past July 1, 2010, then it will be very difficult to open a Medical Marijuana Center until after July 1, 2011. Colorado will impose a Moratorium on new Medical Marijuana Centers from July 1, 2010 through July 1, 2011. If you are operating a Medical Marijuana Center, the following Deadlines apply to you. If your application for a local license is not approved until after August 1, 2010, you will have 30 days from licensure to meet the deadlines. On or Before August 1, 2010, you must fill out forms from the Department of Revenue and pay a fee (unknown amount) to continue to operate. Failure to meet the deadline will result in either shutting down or facing criminal charges. Further, If You Miss The August 1 Deadline And You Stay Open, That Fact Will Be Proof You Are Of Unsatisfactory Character And You Will Be Denied A License. On or Before September 1, 2010, Medical Marijuana Centers must certify to the State that they are cultivating at least 70% of necessary medical marijuana. You must apply for a license with your local government
and with the State before July 1, 2011. All the rules and
regulations for Medical Marijuana Centers and Infused Produce
Centers and Growth Centers take effect. (This is more complex
then it seems. You should seek legal counsel if you might
be violating any provisions on July 1, 2010.) |

Medical Marijuana Action Alert Vol 19 May 13, 2010 While numerous legal challenges will probably be mounted to challenge HB10-1284, the lawsuits will take a long time to move through the Courts. In the meantime there are many troubling issues about this law which can have direct and often destructive impact on everyone involved in this field. The bill is complex and detailed and easily open to misinterpretation. Before making any decisions based on a possibly erroneous or questionable interpretation of this law, be certain that you know what will work and what might be an extremely costly error. While there are many traps and pitfalls for the unaware,
there are also many seemingly insurmountable problems that
have creative solutions. For example, depending on the needs
of the dispensary, there are ways a dispensary can maintain
an adequate, fresh supply of product without going over
the federal 100 plant limit. Likewise, although dispensaries
will not be allowed to buy from growers, there are ways
that dispensaries and growers can work together, within
the bounds of the new law, so that the growers can focus
on growing and dispensaries can focus on getting product
to market. In order to make sure you are in compliance with
HB10-1284, and to implement creative problem solving, you
need to start taking action now. You cannot wait to see
what happens. Do not allow yourself to be one of those frightened
out of business. |
