Colorado House Bill 1284

[Tr33]

Damn, Damn, Damn, after reading through that app Cannagirl posted, CO law says a felon of any type can not hold a MMJ license aka the CO Red Card...wtf?...I've had one for years now, and I'm a drug felon. right there on page 5, it says you can not obtain or hold a mmj license...forced back into the UG

I'm an Outlaw and proud of that fact.

 

[funkfingers]

That form is for people who want to own/work at centers or grows..not for all mmj patients..They can't deny you medical treatment because your a felon, or owe the gov money..

 

[SnowGro]

Yet.

OK, so if you're merely the employee of a dispensary, you need to fill out this $hit and get a license as an "associated key"?

Colorado House Bill 1284

On that app, I have to explain and show documentation for even misdemeanors. I have a possession charge from years ago that was sealed, I don't even know where to begin on getting documentation for that!!!! The county that it happend in has zero record of the event. Not to mention a bunch of other stupid shit. I have a reckless driving charge from when I was 18 for off-roading in a non-designated area...how am I supposed to get official records of this crap? One ofthe counties I contacted said it can take up to 90 days to process and send me copies of some of these ancient archived records...how will I get this in by 8/1????

I have felony arrests that are sealed, I'll have to ask a lawyer whether or not I need to list them. I don't think I do, as I have a judge's order to have them sealed. Here is the wording in the application that would exclude you from having to list arrests if your record has been sealed (from pg. 7):

• NOTICE: Do not rely upon your understanding that an arrest or charge is “not supposed to be on your record.” A criminal
record was not cleared, erased, sealed or expunged unless you were given, and have in your possession, a written order
from a judge directing that action.

Want MJ laws? Sure we'll give you MJ laws.
Fill out this short application, then visit our conveniently located office on the moon for your final stamp of approval. Easy as Pi.

So Jeff and some other MMC owners are telling me that no employee can work without a two year residency. My lawyer is telling me you only have to be a current resident. Anyone have any opinions on this matter?

I've heard that around town as well... guy was all excited to meet, called back & said his lawyer just told him the same... no meet. I was under the impression that it only applied to owners, but after rereading it...

"Licensee" means a person licensed or registered pursuant to this article.
+
"Person" means a natural person, partnership, association, company, corporation, limited liability company, or organization, or a manager, agent, owner, director, servant, officer, or employee thereof.
+
((excluded peeps)) A person who has not been a resident of CO for at least two years prior to the date of the person's application;....

If you follow it around, it can certainly exclude an emp for the residency clause. Based on the new app, this is likely how the DOR will rule... or so I would guess. Seems fair to take this conservative read.

Anyone know what the deal is w the appeals???



It does seem the application reads to be only for those that are actually % owners... that this needn't be filled out for all employees, necessarily...?

License Types (Check on One, and Only One, of the following Types)

Associated Person: Any stockholder holding an interest in a medical marijuana licensee, or any officer or director, who does not act as a Key executive, employee or agent.

Associated Key: Any stockholder holding an interest in a medical marijuana licensee, or any officer or director, who also acts as a Key executive, employee or agent while physically working in a licensed establishment, Optional Premises or Infused Products Manufacturer location.


I can see why Corry feels that this will push a lot back down under. Guess the cops don't have to worry about their budget falling + they'll get more fed subsidies. Whoo hoo for them... I guess.


Really depressing day.

You still have to supply the judge's order to seal it. I just called for my record that I though my attorney sealed, turns out he didn't....

Also, I think according to Gard, anyone spending a regular amount of time at the grow has to fill out the app, otherwise they can be arrested for being there if someone shows up.

To work in a disp, you have to disclose the bank acct info, including those of your spouse/children, along with balances, acct numbers etc? Holy shit, this is 1984 freaky. Colorado Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division, hmmm...

Seriously, I feel really bad for you guys trying to work in a disp.

 

[cobcoop]

Dude, how low are your lights?

What can i say, I get excited about gardening.

 

[Greenmopho]

Holy crap...so by signing this, they no longer need a warrant to gain access and freeze any of my accounts. And even if they do so just to "check-up" on me, and my bank decides they don't want to give someone working for an MMC an account, they can just close all my shit, keep my money, and I can't sue anyone legally.

What about the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution? Because this is clearly slavery...big brother, let me introduce you to mmj...

 

[SGMeds]

I really liked the suggestion of having the politicians submit to such scrutiny... can you imagine how many of them wouldn't make it?!?

 

[cannagirl]

just for shits and giggles and because Im farking pissed, I looked at the application to open a retail liquor store, its only 4 pages...
Link for liquor license

The word "felony" or "criminal" is completely devoid in the liquor license application. They don't care what you did in the past, meth labs, rape, DIU, you can still run a liquor store and profit off of the alcoholics in you neighborhood.

And I agree, the bank accounts of politicians should be public records for all to see. All politicians should have to be under the same scrutiny. Where is their money coming from? Lobbyists? Donations? They are politicians, they should NOT be entitled to any confidentiality or privacy either, they are running our government, they should be 100% transparent. Investigative Agencies shouldn't need a warrant to look into their affairs. Instead, the opposite it true, elected officials get some investigative insulation, and even on the rare chance that a politician does get caught slipping up, enough influence and money will keep it out of the press and the public eye...

Holly hell in a hand basket, it's even worse than I thought! Is that the form MMCs and their employees have to sign? Orwellian to say the least. Why isn't there public outrage over this criminal activity being perpetrated by our lawmakers? If everyone refused to sign they would have to scrap it. The CO Government WANTS MMJ taxes, they would go back to the drawing board if every MMC gave them the middle finger instead of racking up the hours with their over paid MMJ attorney to jump through these insane hoops every step of the way. I cant believe the rush to compliance I have seen in the MMJ industry here. I'm very disappointed. Was hoping for somebody with some balls to show some civil disobedience.

Well Hoss, step up to bat! No one wants to go (or go back) to jail for this, so there is fear and fear mongering to get us to comply. They are treating us like the paranoid stoners we really are....

I had balls, but the cops stomped(literally a boot to the back) them out in 2006
