Smoking Hot News – 02/03/10

It’s a big news day, with Rep. Massey’s bill dropping this afternoon.  Check back for updates, but here are some links to get you started with your day:

  • UPDATE (4:40PM): The full bill has been announced and is available online.  Joe Tone of Westword offers his summary of the bill and reaction from both sides.  We’re reading it right now and will have some comments of our own up shortly.
  • UPDATE (1:29PM): Brian Vincente of Sensible Colorado added his two cents in the form of a ballot initiative that is pro-dispensary.  Word on the new bill is due in a few minutes.
  • The second state bill on MMJ regulation will be released today, but Westword has a source that offers a sneak peak.  Amongst the big changes: a one year “time out”, a shift towards clinics instead of dispensaries, and new advertising rules.
  • Wells Fargo will no longer accept new applications from dispensaries.  They are the bank of choice for many shops, mainly because no one else will take their money.
  • Matt Brown of Coloradans for Medical Marijuana Regulation has penned a great piece on the medical side of medicinal marijuana.  He also adds his take on the newest regulations.  He’s a busy guy.
  • Canon City may approve a moratorium on dispensaries tonight.  They’re looking for guidance from the legislature before moving forward.
  • If you’re a military veteran and have used MMJ, a new study offers you a chance to win some gift certificates by answering questions about your experience. (via NORML Blog)
  • A California MMJ patient was detained on a plane after dropping his pants and attacking a flight crew.  He blames a medicated cookie he ingested.  Riiiight.
