Colorado Medical Marijuana Regulations
Protect Your Rights With The Samuelson Law Firm
Although medical marijuana is now legal in Colorado and most states, if
one does not follow the regulations the government has put forth, he or
she may find themselves in a host of legal trouble. It is important that
the regulations are followed to the letter or you may find yourself charged with
possession of a controlled substance or
distribution of a controlled substance.
Additionally, you may find yourself in trouble for what law enforcement
considers
unlawful marijuana cultivation. Regardless of whether you are using marijuana for medicinal purposes
or if you own a medical marijuana dispensary, you will benefit from discussing
your situation with a skilled medical marijuana defense attorney to ensure
that you are not in violation of Colorado's strict regulations.
Have you been accused of a marijuana crime in Colorado such as
driving under the influence of marijuana? You are not alone. Since the legalization of marijuana, there has been
confusion regarding the legality of the substance. Find out more in a
free consultation with a Colorado Springs marijuana defense lawyer dedicated to upholding
your rights.
Laws Governing Marijuana in Colorado
Recently, Colorado passed two laws to further regulate the state's
rapidly growing medical marijuana business. Under
Amendment 20 doctors who in good standing are permitted to prescribe medicinal marijuana
to patients to lessen the debilitating symptoms of various serious medical
illnesses.
However, because of
House Bill 1284 which was signed into law in 2010, the dispensaries where patients generally
go to buy medicinal marijuana are under investigation and strict regulation.
Now, certain cities are allowed to ban dispensaries within their borders
if they so choose. Furthermore, dispensaries must grow at least 70% of
their stock. If you own a dispensary and are in violation of any of these
provisions, you will be shut down and may find yourself in trouble with the law.
