Castle Rock Medical Marijuana Town Council decision

August 26, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Castle Rock Town Council to vote on Commercial Medical Marijuana dispensary ban

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in Colorado

The Castle Rock Town Council will once again be voting on the Medical Marijuana question in the first of two readings on August 24th. The second reading of the ordinance to ban Medical Marijuana dispensaries  will be September 14th 2010. A majority of council has to approve this ordinance in the two readings.

“The ordinance would ban medical marijuana centers, optional-premises cultivation and the manufacturing of marijuana-infused products within Town limits – an action allowed by the Colorado Medical Marijuana Code.”

The only remaining marijuana dispensary would be allowed to remain in business through December 31, 2010 but would then also be required to close up shop.

Public comments on the proposed ordinance will be heard prior to Council’s initial vote Tuesday and prior to the final vote, planned for Sept. 14. Both meetings will begin at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St.

Approval of the ordinance would mean that, as of Jan. 1, 2011, medical marijuana only could be lawfully cultivated in Castle Rock by a patient, for personal use, or by a caregiver, as defined by the Medical Marijuana Code.

Public comment on the proposed ordinance will be heard prior to Council’s initial vote Tuesday and prior to the final vote, planned for Sept. 14. Both meetings will begin at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Town Hall, 100 N. Wilcox St. Castle Rock CO

This is a hotly contested issue throughout Colorado with one side of the debate fearing increased crime, a “bad element” gathering around the centers and in general feeling like marijuana should be illegal regardless of the circumstances. On the other side of the debate are health care providers and those suffering from symptoms related to cancer and/or chemo therapy treatments that have found marijuana to be extremely helpful in managing pain and nausea, and help with glaucoma and AIDS. Those folks would like to be able to get “weed” from a reputable dealer rather than in a back alley somewhere.

There will be continued discussions on this matter throughout Colorado for years to come costing tax payers dollars that none of these small town have.

As it stands registered patients may obtain medical weed by growing their own, from a licensed caregiver or from a center and local municipalities can not prohibit them from growing their own nor can they prevent caregivers from providing legal weed to up to five patients.

Castle Rock City Council voted 7-0 on Medical Marijuana Centers

July 22, 2010 By 1 Comment

The Castle Rock City Council voted 7-0 to ask the staff to prepare an ordinance to prohibit medical marijuana centers in Castle Rock Colorado on their meeting July 21, 2010. The council will be considering a formal proformal vote is set for the August 24, 2010 council meeting.

medical marijuana ordinance's to prevent medical marijuana dispensaries in Castle Rock Colorado.

Currently the town has a moratorium on commercial medical marijuana activity through December 31, 2010, if the above proposed ordinance passes existing centers will be shut down and new medical marijuana health care centers will be banned from city limits January 1, 2011.

This is a hotly contested issue throughout Colorado with one side of the debate fearing increased crime, a “bad element” gathering around the centers and in general feeling like marijuana should be illegal regardless of the circumstances. On the other side of the debate are health care providers and those suffering from symptoms related to cancer and/or chemo therapy treatments that have found marijuana to be extremely helpful in managing pain and naseau, and help with glaucoma and AIDS.

FAQ’s on Colorado’s Medical Marijuana laws and regulations

Can municipalities enact local bans on caregivers and/or patients?
No. Caregivers and patients are protected by Section 14, Article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution; therefore, local governments cannot prohibit patients or caregivers.

Are existing medical marijuana businesses grandfathered in or precluded from complying with the requirements of HB 10-1284? PDF
There is no grandfathering for dispensaries in existence that do not comply with the state and local regulations. The most likely issue will be with the distance requirements, and the spacing requirements in HB 1284 contain no grandfathering or “look-back” provision that would exempt existing medical marijuana businesses.

Can primary caregivers profit off of the sale of medical marijuana to licensed patients?
No. A primary caregiver may not charge a patient more than the cost of cultivating or purchasing the medical marijuana, but may charge for caregiver services.

Colorado State Law allows town governments three options

Additional Questions can be directed to Town Clerk Sally Misare, 303-660-1367 or smisare@CRgov.com.

What are your thoughts Douglas County Residents? Should this issue be put on a ballot? Or should the City Council have the right to decide this hotly contested issue.
