something about the rise in crime and MMJ... i guess we will find out soon enough.
if they can figure away to take the money out of it that should make it safe for everyone..
That would be full legalization
http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-crime-marijuana-101309,0,3838875.storyDENVER - Police departments are reporting a "significant increase" in home invasion robberies near medical marijuana dispensary stores, according to Colorado Attorney General John Suthers.
He says he's been hearing from law enforcement officers –who feel like their hands are tied.
Attorney General Suthers says the rise in crime may prompt state lawmakers to take a closer look at the amendment that legalized medical marijuana nine years ago, to see if there is additional legislation that could be passed to give the state more control over the blooming marijuana business.
"Ultimately, the question is, is this what the voters wanted, do they want to do something about it, do they want their state legislature to do something about it," said Attorney General Suthers.
But to tighten up the current law, the legislature may have to pass an amendment to the constitutional amendment that gave Coloradoans the right to use, grow, and sell medical marijuana.
That means the voters would have the final say.
Still, a medical marijuana user and caregiver we spoke to says more state control isn't the answer. He says Colorado should legalize pot.
Then criminals wouldn't have to break into homes and businesses to get it.
