AZ Moves To Make Medical Marijuana Illegal For College Students

Thursday, 02 February 2012 15:14 administrator

Arizona lawmakers are preparing on Wednesday to deny university and college students living on campus the right to use medical marijuana, even if they have the legally required doctor's recommendation to use it.

Legislation written by Rep. Amanda Reeve (R-Phoenix) would make it illegal to use and even to possess marijuana on the campus of any public or private post-secondary institution of learning, reports Howard Fischer at Capitol Media Services.

Included under the overbearing law would be not only the state university system and network of community colleges but even various private schools that offer degrees or certificates.

That doesn't just mean keeping marijuana out of classrooms and open areas.

HB 2349, set for debate in the House Committee on Higher Education, also would prohibit students from using cannabis in their dorm rooms -- even if the patient is drinking a cannabis infused drink or eating a cannabis edible.

25 Denver Homes Raided In Marijuana Cultivation Sweep

Sunday, 29 January 2012 07:55 administrator

Twenty-five homes were raided across the Denver metropolitan area as part of a big marijuana sweep.

The North Metro Drug Task Force is leading the investigation into what Jace Larson of 9News described as "the large-scale grow operation." The cops are claiming all the raided homes were somehow connected.

SWAT teams began knocking down doors Wednesday morning at about 6 a.m.

At least 12 and possibly 16 people were arrested in what law enforcement officials are calling "Operation Sweet Leaf." (Since when did the narcs start naming raids after 1971 Black Sabbath songs?)

More arrests are expected. Seven children were taken to social services after the arrests were made.

The busts netted about 1,000 marijuana plants.

Investigators said the raids were on a single organization growing marijuana in Colorado and then allegedly shipping it to as many as eight other states. The Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Postal Service and Internal Revenue Service were reportedly all involved in the investigation. (video after jump)

Medical Marijuana Banks? Colorado Lawmakers Propose Financial Co-Ops For MMJ Businesses

Friday, 27 January 2012 14:41 administrator

Medical Marijuana Bank Colorado In September of 2011, the last bank in Colorado to openly work with medical marijuana businessesclosed those accounts and shut its doors to working with dispensaries due to increased federal pressure.

This left Colorado dispensaries between a rock and a hard place -- state law requires medical marijuana businesses to keep track of their transactions, but record keeping becomes much more difficult without banks working with them, the Daily Camera reported in October.

Now, cut off from the traditional banking system, there appears to be some hope for Colorado's dispensaries. Democrat Sen. Pat Steadman along with Republican Rep. Tom Massey are co-sponsoring Senate Bill 75 which would allow medical marijuana businesses to create financial cooperatives that would be regulated similarly to credit unions, except that they would be insured by by "non-federally baked" insurance policies, according to The Daily.

Robert Friechtel, director of the Medical Marijuana Business Exchange, told The Daily that he estimates nearly half of Colorado's 700 dispensaries lost their bank accounts in September of 2011. Friechtel went on to tell the The Daily, "Forcing dispensaries to go cash-only is crazy. How can owners safely and successfully run their businesses without any place to deposit money?"
