Colorado: new regs for medicinal cannabis

Posted on June 9th, 2010 by Global Ganja Report and tagged , , , , .

United StatesGov. Bill Ritter Jr. signed two bills into law on June 7 intended to increase oversight of Colorado’s medical cannabis industry. Under the new legislation, municipalities can ban dispensaries.

 The new regulations also require doctors to conduct a physical exam of any patient they prescribe cannabis to, and prohibits physicians from having a financial relationship with a dispensary.

“The companion measures I signed today strike a delicate balance between protecting public safety and respecting the will of the voters,” said Ritter. (NYT, June 7)
