Colorado Cannabis Companies Continue To be Viewed as Legitimate Businesses
Colorado’s congressional delegation is being criticized by an anti-marijuana group for taking campaign contributions from the cannabis industry. U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter not only shrugged off the criticism, he defended the industry.
“Colorado voters spoke resoundingly, not once but twice, in legalizing medical and recreational marijuana,” said Perlmutter spokesman Austin Blumenfeld. “It is a legitimate business in the state of Colorado. Rep. Perlmutter’s focus in this area is to align federal and state laws to allow these legitimate businesses to have access to the financial industry. Without this access we are putting the safety of the public, employees and law enforcement at risk.”
And what is more than the Better Business Bureau? The Greater Denver’s Better Business Bureau is now accrediting cannabis companies as it does businesses in any other industry.
