ALERT: CO Attorney Rob Corry Analyzes Sen. Romer’s Proposed Med MJ Regulations
Cannabis News January 7th, 2010
It is important we all pay attention to the Colorado State legislatures bill to regulate Medical Marijuana. It isnt the only bill in play. The Colorado County Sheriffs coalition has an even worse bill they are proposing that would prevent anyone with any kind of criminal record, including petty offenses from care-giving and limit caregivers to five patients, thus completely eliminating dispenses. WE ALL in the Medical Marijuana community NEED to pay attention to these bills. They will affect other States regulations and creation of programs as they will copy the regulations that we implement.
It is up to us to fend off the assault on patients and caregivers, and the pioneering industry that is working so well here in Colorado and a few other States. They are also trying to divide and conquer our activists and industry with some of these regs. Stay informed and lets stick together on this.
I’m also glad in this letter Rob defends the ide that Sen. Romer is a nice guy in person, but “diplomatic skills are no substitute for substance.” Senator Romer has told me multiple things will be changed about the bill and they have yet to be changed, including lookin at allowing certain Marijuana offenders to be allowed to own and operate dispensaries. To my face I feel lied to and disrespected by a Colorado Senator.

Corry says Romer’s bill “cannot be supported by any serious patient or caregiver in Colorado’s Medical Marijuana community.”
Attorney Rob Corry’s Comments on Sen. Romer’s State Bill
Attorney Rob Corry today released his 12-page initial analysis of Sen.
Romer’s 39-page bill to regulate the medical marijuana industry in Colorado. Corry correctly states that Romer’s bill “cannot be supported by any serious patient or caregiver in Colorado’s Medical Marijuana community.” Corry says Romer’s bill would “significantly increase costs to patients, thereby placing the most vulnerable of them in danger” and “reduce the selection and consistency of medicine, driving most of the supply back to the dangerous criminal underground.”

Corry continues, “This community is not opposed to reasonable regulations designed to help patients, but will oppose those that will restrict supply or quality.”
The Cannabis Therapy Institute concurs with and supports all of the conclusions made by Rob Corry in his letter to Senator Romer, dated January 7, 2010.
