Colo.Springs DA Scare Tactics

[MagniKhan]

Colorado Springs is turning in to quite the battleground for Medical Marijuana with the Colo. State Constitution on one side and the "Good ol' Boys" on the other.


"District Attorney Dan May told The Gazette’s opinion department Wednesday that he contacted the landlord of a medical marijuana business because of a desire to get the business out of his neighborhood. City Councilman Sean Paige had criticized the phone call in an e-mail to The Gazette on Wednesday, characterizing it as part of a high-level campaign of “meddling and behind-the-scenes string pulling” to undermine the Colorado Constitution’s Amendment 20, which protects medical marijuana."

Don't want your public officials harassing legal establishments? Then vote them out of office!!

P.S. Look at the poll on the right, at the time of this posting 73% of the readers think that the DA abused his authority!

Certainly questionable behavior.


And you all know what happens when you interfere with project Mayhem.....

One could almost predict what will occur at the Battleground State level.

It appears that EACH and every new MMJ State will have to go through the Growing Pains (pun not intended) that California is STILL going through.

These exact assertions were floated in CA. And still are.

^yup san diego is a bitch still.

No surprises there-- Colorado Springs is a bastion of conservative politics that have proven a failure for the last twenty some odd years. Because of the fact that CO Springs has not raised taxes in that time period, beginning about two weeks ago the street lights have been turned off, the grass in public parks will not be mowed/watered and the staff of the police/fire depts. will be cut down by half (the police thing might not be so bad). CO Spgs. is a disgrace to Colorado, it should be made an extension of Utah in my opinion.

Yes they are in fact killing the one thing that could help to pull in some much neede tax revenue.

Its here people the flood gates have been opened and there is no way to stop the water.

MMJ is a legal and taxable income just accept it it is 2010 after all.

Not yet, my friend. Even in the Emerald Triangle, this 'hobby' is shot for a while.
No real progress here... Nothing has changed for the better.

Just a terribly hyper-depressed economy and ganja market.

“Dan May told me he was concerned about the children,” Donovan said. “There is a liquor store in the same shopping center. I explained a variety of greater risks facing children in the city. I invited him for an inspection, so he could determine for himself whether anything about this business was scary, or in any way threatening to children.”

Its always about the children

 

[Duckmang]

If they are soooooo worried about their children's decision making skills (or lack thereof).....

MAYBE THEY SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB PARENTING THEM.

 

[whodi]

they hate it because it goes against everything they teach to their kids, and it's right in front of them everyday (worse than alcohol to them) an extra temptation to 'ruin their lives'... so they play big bully in hopes that you will go away... but what if you don't... what's next? planting stuff on you to get you busted?

They prolly see it as something as bad as legal prostitution in their city.

what the hell does colorado know about "Good ol' Boys"..

Plenty!! Really man, I currently live in Florida the CAPITAL of the "Good ol' Boys", I think I know "Good ol' Boys" when I come across them.
Now Colo. "Good ol' Boys" aren't quite the pros they are here ( if so you guy WOULD never have gotten MMJ on a ballet), but back room deals, personal agendas, intimidation and a complete disregard for the voters will, I'd say they qualify as "Good ol' Boys".

 

[Amithia420]

Ask Ron white how he feels about the Florida "good ol' boys"!

I just bought tickets to his show in May at Ruth Eckerd hall!

 

[Amithia420]

I saw him a week ago at a casino in my area. He was freaking amazing, i saw his 2nd act for the night and he STARTED out toasted and was completely drunk by end of the show and was saying some the funniest shit ever

Check this.... In an Emerald Triangle County.... There is Only ONE Medical Cannabis Club within 1.5 hours driving... Surprising, huh..?
Not what the Media would have you believe...

This 'Movement' is still being Manipulated with all the energy the Curs can muster... Until the VERY last Second, these old-fashioned Boss Hoss's will try to retain power on this issue.

Weaklings ALWAYS cite Children as the Cause for their moves.... Why should we alter our lives and lifestyles to accommodate others' challenges regarding the use of Birth Control....? Parents often act like Martyrs. But, it is their choice to procreate...

what the hell does colorado know about "Good ol' Boys"..

Please... They are everywhere, Tex... Truly - Everywhere I have ever been, in this (once)illustrious Nation...
Travel Much..?

LMAO @ the Colorado good ole boys comment....Spend some time on the western slope around Rifle, Silt, Fruita, Grand Junction the whole area is predominantly good ole boys and wannabe cowboys....most of which are every bit as racist as any southern good ole boy and will pick a fight with anyone who isn't just like them....especially a stoner.
