Well, the day has finally arrived: Denver’s MMJ ordinance is in full effect. We’re licensed and ready to go, but patients should know that it is now illegal to medicate on site at any dispensary. On to some news:
- As the deadline passed, only 235 MMJ businesses had their applications in. There were nearly 500 applications for sales tax licenses.
- The head of the CCPC (not CPPC, which is now the CMMR) is going to be pissed if any dispensaries get shut down for non compliance with the new ordinance.
- Denver prosecutions for marijuana possession are just as high as they ever were, despite the fact it has been decriminilized in the city. City attorneys are saying they’re simply following state law.
- Get to know Westword bud reviewer William Breathes a little better.
- Andrew Romanoff, former CO Speaker of the House, wants the Feds to get their story straight about MMJ and how states can be in compliance.
- A Colorado Christian has no patience for the DEA and wonders why exactly marijuana is a Schedule 1 narcotic.
- The El Paso County D.A. is trying to get his local dispensary shut down, pulling strings to make it happen. Good luck, Pure Medical.
- An attempted burglary goes all wrong when the moron breaks into the wrong building.
