The raids are occurring at both medical marijuana dispensaries and at warehouses where pot is grown. At one raid in Boulder, a pile of seized marijuana lay in the snow like Christmas trees until a front-end loader scooped it up. At the VIP Cannabis dispensary in Denver, broken glass from a shattered front window littered the parking lot while agents hauled boxes of evidence into a U-Haul truck. Police turned customers away. "The Drug Enforcement Administration, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations, the Denver Police Department and state and local law enforcement are today executing lawfully obtained search warrants and seizure warrants," said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for the DOJ. "Although we cannot at this time discuss the substance of this pending investigation, the operation under way today comports with the Department's recent guidance regarding marijuana enforcement matters," Dorschner said in his e-mailed statement to The Denver Post. >>   - Read more>> - on this Item. First major hemp crop in 60 years is planted in southeast Colorado Springfield, Colo., farmer Ryan Loflin on Monday planted the nation's first industrial hemp crop in almost 60 years. Loflin's plans to grow hemp already have been chronicled, and Monday's planting attracted the attention of more media in southeastern Colorado and a documentary film crew. Hemp is genetically related to marijuana but contains little or no THC, the psychoactive substance in marijuana. Hemp has dozens of uses in food, cosmetics, clothing and industrial materials. Its cultivation in small test plots became legal last year under a Colorado law. >>   - Read more>> - on this Item. Click here to see more > News <(!   About this page ...

Status of Medical Marijuana (Cannabis) in Colorado.   Info on Colorado and Medical Cannabis  Colorado MEDICAL MARIJUANA (cannabis) LAW SUMMARY:   Ballot Amendment 20 -- Approved Nov. 7, 2000 by 54% of voters Effective: June 1, 2001 | Fifty-four percent of voters approved Amendment 20 on November 7, 2000, which amends the state’s constitution to recognize the medical use of marijuana. The law took effect on June 1, 2001. Removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and advising that they "might benefit from the medical use of marijuana." (Patients must possess this documentation prior to an arrest.) Approved Conditions: Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act - Cancer, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS positive, cachexia; severe pain; severe nausea; seizures, including those that are characteristic of epilepsy; or persistent muscle spasms, including those that are characteristic of multiple sclerosis. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Colorado Board of Health. Possession/Cultivation: A patient or a primary caregiver who has been issued a Medical Marijuana Registry identification card may possess no more than two ounces of a usable form of marijuana and not more than six marijuana plants, with three or fewer being mature, flowering plants that are producing a usable form of marijuana. Patients who do not join the registry or possess greater amounts of marijuana than allowed by law may argue the "affirmative defense of medical necessity" if they are arrested on marijuana charges. Amendment(s): Amended: House Bill 1284 (236 KB) and Senate Bill 109 (50 KB) Effective: June 7, 2010 Colorado Governor Bill Ritter signed the bills into law and stated the following in a June 7, 2010 press release: "House Bill 1284 provides a regulatory framework for dispensaries, including giving local communities the ability to ban or place sensible and much-needed controls on the operation, location and ownership of these establishments. Senate Bill 109 will help prevent fraud and abuse, ensuring that physicians who authorize medical marijuana for their patients actually perform a physical exam, do not have a DEA flag on their medical license and do not have a financial relationship with a dispensary." Amended: House Bill 1284; Effective: June 7, 2010 | House Bill 1284, signed into law on June 7, 2010, establishes state provisions regulating medical cannabis dispensaries. The law requires medical marijuana dispensing facilities to obtain state and local licensing approval and to be in compliance with all local zoning codes. Dispensaries must pay a state licensing fee, shall be located no closer than 1,000 feet from a school or daycare (municipalities have the authority to issue exemptions to this rule), and operators must oversee the cultivation at least 70 percent of the marijuana dispensed at the center. Licensed dispensary owners will be required to undergo criminal background checks by the state. House Bill 1284 imposes a statewide moratorium on the establishment of new dispensaries, beginning in July 2010. HB 1284 also grants local municipalities the authority to prohibit the establishment of dispensaries in their community. Individual caregivers are legally permitted to provide medical cannabis for up to five patients in localities that have formally banned dispensaries. Colorado Governor Bill Ritter stated the following in a June 7, 2010 press release: "House Bill 1284 provides a regulatory framework for dispensaries, including giving local communities the ability to ban or place sensible and much-needed controls on the operation, location and ownership of these establishments." Full text of the law is available > here. Amended: Senate Bill 109; Effective: June 7, 2010 | Senate Bill 109, signed into law on June 7, 2010, limits the authority of physicians to recommend cannabis therapy to patients with which the doctor has had a prior counseling relationship. Senate Bill 109 will help prevent fraud and abuse, ensuring that physicians who authorize medical marijuana for their patients actually perform a physical exam, do not have a DEA flag on their medical license and do not have a financial relationship with a dispensary."

Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it.

Billed as the "premier cannabis lifestyle magazine," the slick glossy debuted in Colorado last month, one more sign of galloping growth in the state's medical-marijuana business. The city of Denver has more than 300 medical-marijuana dispensaries, the highest number in the nation outside California. The pace of growth in the industry prompted the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws to recently name Denver "America's cannabis capital." While Los Angeles has more than 1,000 dispensaries, Denver outstrips the City of Angels on a per-capita basis, with more storefronts selling pot than Starbucks shops peddling coffee.

If successful, it would open the door for businesses to allow responsible, social use of marijuana in those neighborhoods that welcome adult consumption. Although Colorado has allowed adults to consume cannabis since 2012, it does not provide any clear means for consumers to consume together socially outside a person’s private residence. Responsible adults should be able to socialize and consume cannabis together outside their homes — particularly in businesses and communities that welcome them. In addition to the measure making the Denver ballot, it has been a positive year for cannabis policies in Colorado this year, including several good bills passed by the legislature. As a result of these changes, out-of-state visitors aged 21 or over may now purchase up to an ounce of marijuana from licensed retail shops, treating visitors the same as state residents. Students who are medical marijuana patients were also granted protections that prohibit schools from disciplining them for possession or consumption, nor may schools deny admission based on patient status in the registry. >>   http://www.mpp.org/states/colorado/ Finally, out-of-state ownership of and investment in cannabis-related businesses will be much easier for those who apply, starting January 1, 2017.

Soon, more than a hundred families flocked to Colorado, most with a child suffering from similar seizures. They called themselves “medical refugees,” and Colorado’s medical cannabis was their last hope.

Law enforcement officers indulged them, overlooking for an evening the fact that the law does not allow public consumption. Now the party's over, and legislators and others in Washington and Colorado, which passed a similar measure, are grappling with a number of legalization issues, including how to handle people who use marijuana and then drive. If you live in Colorado or Washington, or plan to travel there, here's an update on how the new marijuana laws affect driving now and how the impact of legalized pot may play out.   - Read more>> - on this Item. Rocky Mountain high: Pot a $200M industry in Colorado DENVER — Inside the industrial-scale marijuana grow farms that dot Denver's low-rise warehouse districts, it is perpetual summer — 78 degrees, moderate humidity and fields of shoulder-high plants with fat, sticky buds swaying in the breeze. These unmarked THC factories are easy to miss from the street, except for the casino-style security cameras perched on each corner. But inside the world's only fully regulated, for-profit marijuana market, there are few secrets. Colorado has approved 739 of these indoor grow farms over the past two-plus years after vetting their owners' finances and requiring the buds be tracked on high-definition video and bar-coded every moment from seed to sale. Local building inspectors have signed off, and cops — city, state and federal — can drop in at any time. This out-in-the-open marijuana is the best glimpse of the strange new reality coming soon to Washington state. If Washington, as expected, follows Colorado's experiment, our state regulators will be investigating entrepreneurs' finances for links to organized crime and keeping steady watch over leakage to the black market — even as they allow warehouses of weed. The challenges are immense. Washington's new marijuana law, approved by voters in November, creates a market for social use — vastly bigger than the medical-marijuana market regulated in Colorado. There is nothing like it anywhere. In Colorado, regulators had to broker a shotgun marriage between law enforcement and marijuana dealers. Anxious state regulators wrote more rules than they could enforce. The state is now thinning its thick rule book, even as drug cops say Colorado-regulated marijuana has popped up across the Midwest. Capitalism unleashed, medical marijuana suddenly became a $200 million industry, with retail prices — averaging about $7.50 a gram — among the cheapest in the country.   - Read more>> - on this Item.

"Whether it's a small grow or a big grow, I don't think the average person realizes how close to their front door it is," Chris Bartkowicz said two weeks ago when he gave 9Wants to Know a tour of his operation. He operated a large medical marijuana grow facility in the basement of his $637,000 Highlands Ranch home. "I'm definitely hidden in suburbia," he said. After 9NEWS showed a tease for a story about Bartkowicz and his operation Thursday night, DEA agents decided he needed a visit. By Friday afternoon DEA agents were at the house carrying away moving boxes and leaf-size trash bags from his home, all filled with marijuana plants.   Visit - http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=132606&catid=339 Colorado's Green Rush: Medical marijuana - By Jim Spellman, CNN - December 14, 2009 | Denver, Colorado (CNN) -- Driving down Broadway, it's easy to forget you are in the United States. Amid the antique stores, bars and fast-food joints occupying nearly every block are some of Denver's newest businesses: medical marijuana dispensaries. The locals call this thoroughfare "Broadsterdam." As in Amsterdam, Netherlands, these businesses openly advertise their wares, often with signs depicting large green marijuana leaves. "The American capitalist system is working," said attorney and medical marijuana advocate Rob Corry. It's a matter of supply and demand. "The demand has always been there," he said, "and the demand is growing daily because more doctors are willing to do this, and now businesses, entrepreneurs, mom-and-pop shops are cropping up to create a supply." Colorado voters legalized medical marijuana in 2000. For years, patients could get small amounts from "caregivers," the term for growers and dispensers who could each supply only five patients. In 2007, a court lifted that limit and business boomed. Between 2000 and 2008, the state issued about 2,000 medical marijuana cards to patients. That number has grown to more than 60,000 in the last year.   Visit - http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/14/colorado.medical.marijuana/ State Board of Health Rejects Medical Marijuana Restriction Patients and families declare victory; hundreds of professional and patients attend hearing to testify against the proposed changes. DENVER -- On Monday, July 20, the Colorado Board of Health voted down a series of controversial restrictions to the state's medical marijuana law. After over twelve hours of testimony and deliberation the Board voted to reject the changes which would have prohibited those who legally use medical marijuana from appointing a state-licensed caregiver who is already helping five patients and created a new definition of the role of a "caregiver" requiring such individuals to provide services beyond marijuana distribution, such as house cleaning and food preparation. Currently, Colorado caregivers -- those legally designated to provide marijuana for a patient who is unable to produce it due to physical, financial, or other limitations -- can help any number of patients who seek their assistance, and are not required to provide services beyond medical marijuana dispensing. The proposals were met with vast opposition from across the state, with approximately 1000 opponents attending the hearing. Hundreds testified against the changes including lawyers, doctors, care providers, veterans, and numerous health-care and religious organizations. Approximately ten individuals-- mostly law enforcement-- testified in favor of the proposed rules. "This is a historic victory for patients' rights and safe access to medicine," said attorney Brian Vicente, who serves as executive director of Sensible Colorado, the non-profit organization which headed opposition to the plan. "People suffering from serious illnesses can continue to select a caregiver of their choice as they do a doctor of their choice. Colorado's sickest individuals have benefited enormously by the Board's compassionate vote." Sensible Colorado is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a more sensible, evidence-based approach to drugs and drug policy in Colorado. For more information Visit: http://www.SensibleColorado.org Colorado's top doctor backs pot restrictions - 07/20/09 | AP News - Colorado's chief medical officer said Monday the state's medical marijuana program will"continue to grow out of control" unless more restrictive rules are adopted. Dr. Ned Calonge testified before the state health board in support of proposed new rules that would limit marijuana providers to five patients each. Currently, a voter-approved amendment to the state constitution allows designated caregivers to grow marijuana for an unlimited number of patients. Calonge, chief medical officer for the state health department, said those rules are creating confusion and the program is susceptible to fraud. He said large-scale marijuana growers busted by police are claiming to be medical marijuana suppliers. Calonge also said one doctor recommended that 200 people get medical marijuana cards in one day. The cards allow patients to grow their own marijuana or get it from a designated caregiver. Opponents say the limits would make it harder for patients to get medical marijuana. More than 300 people attended the hearing, and the vast majority opposed the rules.

This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.
