Today, city council gave the initiative to the city attorney to create a resolution to be voted on tomorrow regarding dispensaries. This initiative proposes a possible moratorium in addition to a number of zoning items to include distances from neighborhoods, schools, etc. This initiative was given today at close of business for the council and they were assured that the city attorney could create this resolution by tomorrow's formal meeting. This seems a bit strange seeing as how they stated it would take months to review the draft proposal introduced only 2 weeks ago but somehow can create a new resolution from scratch in 6 hours. At that time, we were also given the impression that this issue would continue to flow though the public process and that the industry would be included. Tomorrow's initiative is the exact opposite of these statements. This initiative will affect dispensaries, growers, and most importantly, patients.

We need to fill city council chambers will people tomorrow. We need more support than we have ever needed in the past and we need EVERYONE out there. They are trying to shutdown, not only selected dispensaries, but the entire industry.

When we presented our proposal, we were very clear about how appreciative we were for this opportunity from the city. We need to remind them that we have done our part and they need to stick to their part. This initiative tomorrow is an insult to everyone who spent so much time working to make things right.

Email the councilmembers tonight so they see your comments first thing in the morning. Below are also their voicemail box numbers. They claim they are hearing from concerned citizens who oppose our industry, lets make sure they acknowledge how many industry supporters are contacting them as well.

Sounds like Colorado Springs is just following suit with what the council did in Denver... we filled the council's chambers with more than 300 people and 96 speakers and they basically shrugged us off and twiddled their thumbs patronizing us with their inattentiveness...

I believe Oregon is like that ass well. Dispensaries are Illegal. The only place you can get your meds form are CO-OP's,grown your own or from other med patients.
