That was the clear message delivered from Ron Kammerzell, who oversaw the Marijuana Enforcement Division at the Colorado Department of Revenue, and Nate Bruggeman, an assistant attorney general at the Colorado Department of Law’s Marijuana Enforcement Division.
“One specific area that warrants serious consideration is the prohibition on publicly traded companies from holding marijuana business licenses or investing in Colorado marijuana companies,” they wrote in The Denver Post. Not only does the prohibition not enhance public safety, they said, it “is depriving Colorado businesses of access to needed investment capital.”
Kammerzell and Bruggeman also suggested that Colorado update, simplify and streamline it’s marijuana laws.

Cannabis tourism is pretty big in Colorado, but Las Vegas is on that verge (of reaching that level). If we figure out social consumption and (laws are approved) that actually make it seem like we can create profitable businesses out of it, the tourism aspect is going to be huge.”

The Future of Cannabis
/in Businesses, Energy, Technology, Tourism, Uncategorized /by AdminOne of the criticisms of the legal marijuana industry has been about the amount of energy required to power grow houses. But most agree that as cannabis becomes more mainstream, much of the growth will go back to nature, like the sustainable, organic operation outdoor cannabis farm, Pot Zero, in Eagle County.
Colorado Cannabis Tours is taking interested visitors up to farm throughout September so more people can learn how the owners, Rob and Linda Trotter, use their land and natural resources for a carbon free grow.

/in People, Politics, Uncategorized /by Admin“I am deeply concerned by this intentional effort to mislead the American people. At a time when we should be investing in objective and peer-reviewed scientific research on marijuana and the effects of legalization, the White House is instead using taxpayer money to spread a politically-driven narrative.”
“The only way to ‘turn the tide’ on any issue with the public is to be a credible voice. By cherry-picking data to support pre-ordained and misinformed conclusions on marijuana, the Trump administration has further eroded any credibility it has on this issue.”
