Colorado Medical Marijuana Law Continues to Progress

The Colorado House of Representatives passed an additional measure to fine tune the continuously evolving Medical Marijuana Law.

In a 52-12 vote that passed with no verbal contention, the bill looks to fine tune existing laws relating to patients, caregivers, and dispensaries. Now on its way to the state senate, the bill sets greater measures for patient privacy in dispensaries, as well as the standards of video monitoring of those patients while purchasing.

Caregivers will be required to provide the state with detailed information of the whereabouts of their grow facilities. Finally, the bill will also place a moratorium on dispensaries--allowing no new locations by the summer of 2012.

It seems like, at least for the moment, political authorities have finally come to an understanding of the benefits of Colorado Medical Marijuana--both to its patients and its economy.
