It appears that home cultivation is now at risk in several municipalities across Colorado and California. Local and state lawmakers in both jurisdictions are revisiting the issue and are moving toward unnecessarily limiting adult’s home cultivation rights.

Most recently, representatives with Denver’s Office of Marijuana Policy revealed a plan to, “limit unlicensed recreational and medical grows in private residences,” throughout the city of Denver. This decision came after months of closed-door meetings between regulators and leading marijuana industry interests such as the Marijuana Industry Group (MIG); which together, form what’s being called the, “Non-Licensed Marijuana Grows Inspection Team.”

Although there has been little to no mention of specific details regarding this proposed program, many are anticipating the new regulations to resemble those that have come under fire in Indian Wells, California. In that city, lawmakers are pushing for regulations mandating that anyone who wishes to cultivate marijuana in their home must purchase an annual permit and must also allow inspectors into their residence. This amounts to an absolutely unnecessary burden for responsible, law-abiding citizens.

In recent days, Denver NORML became inundated with emails, messages and comments on social media demanding a response to what many believe is a blatant overreach by city government officials. In response, members of Denver NORML, led by Executive Director, Jordan Person, began mobilizing volunteers to contact members of the Denver City Council with the goal of defending the rights and privacy of marijuana consumers in the city of Denver.

I remember jumping up and down telling everyone this kind of shit was going to go down and got laughed at, called crazy, etc. because "we'll have won the war" and not one of them understood that handing over absolutely everything our side fought for could be considered a losing end state to the war if the other side admitted defeat.

I'm terribly sorry that you guys are going to get screwed over but hopefully the rest of the world will actually pay attention and refuse all legalization attempts until they've been removed from the UN convention on narcotics because until then it's literally just legalizing it for them while the war continues for us.

Sucks to be CALI, CO passed a Constitutional Amendment protecting it's Citizens from such over reaching tactics. Let's get this fuckin ball rollin!

Decisions of the Court;
Murdock v Pennsylvania, 310 U.S. 105 @p113
"State may not impose a charge for the enjoyment of a right granted by the Constitution"

Hale v Henkel, 201 U.S. 43
The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no duty to the State or to his neighbors to divulge his business, or to open his doors to an investigation, so far as it may tend to criminate him. He owes no such duty to the State, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His rights are such as existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights.

Definitions:
Prima Facia,
At first sight; on the first appearance ;on the face of it; so far as can be judged from the first disclosure; presumably; a fact presumed to be true unless disproved by some evidence to the contrary.

Colorable, That whichvin appearance only, and not in reality, what it purports to be, hence counterfeit, feigned, having the apperance of truth.

Fraud, An intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another in reliance upon it to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right. A false representation of a matter of fact, wether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of that which should have been disclosed, which deceives and is intended to deceive another so that he shall act upon it to his legal injury.

More Court decisions:
Nudd v Burrows;
"Fraud destroys the validity of everything into which it enters."

Boyce v Grundy;
"Fraud vitiates everything"

U.S. v Throckmorton
"Fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgements."

Right now there is a bill trying to be passed in CO to eliminate the entire medical side and make a 6 or 12 plant count a statewide thing.

People are pissed.
Call your senators, email or something. This is fucked.

And this is why people need to start voting for smaller govt. They are not on your side, they don't care about your rights or about your disabilities. It's all about finding a way to screw people over and make money.

It would take a lot to get rid of an amendment to the state constitution. But I could see them taking it away on a retail and commercial level. And they have been cracking down on doctors.

There's going to be a hearing on Monday in Denver. Hopefully enough people show up to defend their rights.

I don't want to have to see tons of kids go back to eating pharmaceutical drugs for epilepsy.

If it's indoor, don't buy a permit. I wouldn't if it was outdoor either. Sounds like the permit gives them permission to come on your property. Why tell them where you are? If they find out, city code violation is still better than a felony and jail.

its a game of chess for them and we are the pawns. they can tilt the table in any/many direction to maintain control and maximize income. big pharma is as strong as the most secret departments of the us government (probably all govts) that leaks like a sieve to 'steer' public opinion..


EDIT: and twist, turn, bitch and moan, they ant givin up control.
