[CO] Denver To Regulate Pot Grows

Denver To Regulate Pot Grows
November 8, 2010 - thedenverchannel.com

The Denver City Council is debating how to license medical marijuana grow operations cropping up all over the city.

In North Denver, what used to be an industrial eyesore is now a hip live-and-work district called Taxi.

Developer Mickey Zeppelin has been working on the area for a decade.

"We've completely changed the character of the area," he said.

But, Zeppelin said, it's changing again, as one medical marijuana grow operation after the next moves in.

"They've boarded up the windows and put up barbed wire fences," said Zeppelin. "We're concerned about safety, concerned about image, concerned about smell."

The Denver City Council is now debating how to license these operations.

They are considering whether there should be distance requirements from homes and schools and whether operations that found zoning loopholes should be allowed to grandfather in to areas not zoned industrial.

"Do we want to zone a business that's currently operating in Denver out of business?" asked Councilman Charlie Brown.

Medical marijuana advocates said that would limit patients' access to medication.

"The state is going to regulate these business more stringently than casinos, so there's absolutely nothing anyone should be afraid of," said Josh Kappel, with Sensible Colorado, a statewide advocacy group for medical marijuana patients.

Denver's special issues committee will hear from both sides of the issue next week, and they will hold a public hearing before voting.

Why are anti-cannabis people so paranoid? Cannabis isn't crack or heroin.:lol:

Cause indoor grows often cause fires, cause people that don't smoke weed think that it stinks, cause people are having to take thier pets to the vet after they got into the trash behind a med shop, cause a house in Breckenridge blew the fuck up and killed 3 people while they were making butane honey oil in huge batches. Need i go on?

Mostly because in any group of people there are a few idiots and we always base legislation on the lowest denominator. I'm all for the growth of this industry, but we gotta do it right. Otherwise we give the anti-pot people more fuel for their debate.
