ACTION ALERT: Stop HB 11-1250, the Medical Cannabis Edible Ban

Contact House Judiciary Committee

House Bill 11-1250 was introduced on Wed., Feb. 9,
2011. This bill will outlaw all medicinal cannabis edible products in the state, overturning the licensing scheme for Infused Products Manufacturers that was created by the state legislature last year.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Cindy Acree (R-Arapahoe and Elbert Counties) and Sen. Scott Renfroe (R-Weld County). Co-sponsors of the bill include Reps. Balmer, Conti, Joshi, Ramirez, and Scott and Senators Harvey, King K., and Lambert.

This bill has been assigned to the HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. The public hearing on the bill has been set for March 1, 2011. Get on the CTI's Email List to be informed of the exact date and time.

Patients depend on edible cannabis medicines as one of the most important ways to ingest and benefit from cannabis. The therapeutic value of consumed cannabis medicinals cannot be understated. This is another direct attack on patient rights.

Here is the official summary of HB 1250: "Current law permits a medical marijuana-infused products licensee to produce edible products. The bill would prohibit medical marijuana-infused consumable food and beverage product manufacturing and sale."

Sample Letter to House Judiciary Committee "I urge you vote no on House Bill 11-1250. Edible cannabis is an important therapy for patients. It is also an important alternative to smoking cannabis for those who have a problem with bronchial irritation. There has been no harm shown from cannabis edibles, so there is no reason to ban it. Please have compassion for Colorado patients who need cannabis edible medicine to survive."

We are urging you to CALL and EMAIL the House Judiciary Committee Members.

I heard about this in RI and wish I was there to help ALL voters need to show these bums the will of the people who put them there, and make them realize that the same voters will put them out of a job.

I hope people have learned from HB1284 and get off there asses and get involved. If this crap continues to go forward there will nowhere people will be able to get there meds or the meds the meds they want. There is also another one going through to make all caregivers register there grow with the state so they Know where you grow. After that they will want the same guidelines they passed for the dispensaries such as video security and law enforcement accessibility to your grow. If they continue to pass all this crap I recommend everybody return your red card and pull yourself off of the program and lets go back to the way it used to be and fuck the legislators and vote them out.
