Lawmakers hear from Colorado’s medical marijuana community at Sensible Colorado Stakeholder Meeting

Senators Chris Romer, Pat Steadman and former Senator Bob Hagedorn in attendance

Over 300 medical marijuana patients, providers, and activists came together on Saturday afternoon at the University of Denver to discuss their concerns with state lawmakers regarding proposed legislation of Colorado’s medical marijuana industry. The discussion produced many very positive consensus points which will be incorporated into a letter that Sensible Colorado will be sending to all state lawmakers on behalf of Colorado’s medical marijuana community.

Acknowledging the need for a legal framework to properly produce and distribute medical marijuana, the vast majority of those in attendance were in agreement that any future regulations should be patient driven, and should in no way limit or restrict licensed patients’ safe, convenient and affordable access to their doctor recommended medicine.
