Amendment 64: Marijuana consumers need a seat at the table, says Colorado NORML

Do you really think a campaign that cost over $3 million dollars, all funded by out-of-state interests, just FORGOT to give themselves a place at the table in their new law? Maybe they already have a place at the table, with the jack-booted DOR thugs, the District Attorneys, the Attorney General's office and the MMIG and NCIA. Read A64 again and tell us it was NOT written entirely FOR law enFORCEment. There is not one bit of language in there to appeal to the typical stoner, but that REGULATION language sure does appeals to cops.

The cops couldn't have written a better law for themselves - total control, unlimited taxes, warrantless searches, non-confidential registries, total funding for a whole new branch of law enforcement -- what's not to love if you're a cop? Perhaps they are not so sad A64 passed after all. Either way, their is no doubt that the people that paid for A64 have their seat at the table, and there is no doubt that they will not be representing the consumer.

What was that famous Donkey Hotay line from the long ago about the best interests of the patient being in direct opposition to the interests of the mmj "industry"? Don't you think the same will be true for the consumers now?

FACT!

A64 = written for Law-enFORCEment, by lowlife lying liars, for idiots and imbeciles too stupid to read, much less comprehend what it proposed.

The PRIMARY PURPOSE stated in A64 favors LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The SECONDARY PURPOSE stated in A64 is REVENUE ENHANCEMENT.

Stupid Stoners can have a seat at the Back of the Bus!

... and everyone under 21 years old gets thrown UNDER the Bus!

@DonkeyHotay Somewhat amazing to see the great Constitution of the State of Colorado used to restrict the rights of the people instead of grant rights. A64, like A20, grants no rights to cannabis consumers, only a limited exception from criminal law. But A64 grants unlimited authority to cannabis regulators. Go figure. Who would have thought 54% of Coloradans would have voted for that?

Cannabis consumers like Sean McLawlesster and CO-NORML now have to beg for a seat at the table filled with law enforcement regulators and fight against CONSTITUTIONALLY-MANDATED "regulation" (targeting) of cannabis users. All for one ounce, which is already de-criminalized. (?)

Cannabis politics are sure weird.

Do these Pot McLawyers have no ethics at all?

Ethics? ... How many Federal Laws are licensed lawyers allowed to ignore and violate, or prospectively counsel, aid and abet their clients in violating -- on a continuing basis -- all for their own personal pecuniary gain?

Does the Colorado Bar Association and the Supreme Court Disciplinary Committee have a list of optional criminal laws that attorneys can arbitrarily ignore?

I'd like to see it.

@ms.demi_urge ... too bad the tools who wrote A64 didn't include such commutations and pardons in the amendment, eh?

Of course, everyone who was busted, and continues to get busted under 21 years old deserves their Criminal Record -- "in the interest of Public Health and Safety" -- as A64 specifically declares and as A64 specifically discriminates and excludes them from any protection, denying them any legal access to recreational marijuana, under penalty of law.

Being that nearly 50% of all marijuana busts happen to those under 21 years old, there will be no shortage of fodder for the Criminal Injustice System, even after A64.

Regulation Works!!

This is going to sound a lot like the medical railroad that chugged through Denver, in which the committee was stacked with law enforcement and "scared for the children" doctors who basically vetoed a lot of sensible suggestions through that process. I was at several of those meetings, and it was very disappointing. Not having any faith in the state, though, I cannot say I was surprised.

McLawyer's A64 gives total control to the Department of Revenue. They can set up as many commissions as they want, and Sean McLawyer can BEG for a seat at the table, but in the end, nothing but another $3 million to repeal A64 will save us from the ClusterFuck that is coming as surely as old McLawyer here is predicting.

Interesting, I hadn't even thought of the record keeping that would track who does what......that needs to not happen. Unless they start tracking that Joe Bob drinks a case of beer every day, they shouldn't keep track of how much weed Joe Bob smokes either. Basically it should roll out like this: It is regulated exactly the same as alcohol or tobacco. Anything else is really not what the people voted for.

Too bad you suckers voted for it with that pathetically puny 1 (one) ounce limit and arbitrary age restrictions built into the foundation of the failure that is A64.

You stupid stoners were warned in advance that TRACKING of customers and purchases would be necessary to comply with those absurd limits.

You fucked yourselves in that ass, again. Same as you Pig-Ignorant Pot Clowns did with HB1284.

@DonkeyHotayThere is no other way to allow "one ounce" other than to actually count that one ounce. And who do you think gets to do the counting -- that's right -- you guessed it -- it's the POLICE who get to keep track of all these "one ounces". A cop is still a cop, and more cops counting more dope certainly cannot be a step in the right direction, eh?

@raynath"Anything else is really not what the people voted for." I think you're right, because the voters were lied too. How can something be regulated like alcohol or tobacco if there are possession limits for consumers? If the people can't be trusted with more than an ounce, like voters voted for, who will regulate the voters? The answer is the police, just like before. The Aurora police chief just said in the Denver Post that the "scent of marijuana" is still considered a "potential criminal activity", because no one voted to legalize weed, they voted to allow an ounce of weed.

@Gueston @raynath It was once said that only Nixon could go to play ping pong with the Chinese, and only Obama could get away with being as brutal as he's been in his short time in office. The left (usually rightly) shouted their heads off at Bush for his abuses, but fell silent when Obama was elected and not only repeated most of the abuses, but EXTENDED many, such as assassinating Americans and using drones as a convenient and relatively arbitrary killing tool. Shame on those who would give Obama a pass for doing what they wouldn't tolerate of Bush!

I think the more 'in your face' this goes, the better. Someone needs to open the Walmart of Weed ASAP, smoking lounges at all the major sports venues, DIA, Union Station, etc. all need 420 lounges. Next re-write the skier safety act to include cannabis usage. Lastly apply for your business licenses today before the moratoriums put you on hold. This is the Colorado marijuana party!
