Medical Marijuana a Hot Topic in Colorado

May 2, 2009: 08:26 AM EST
Colorado legislators are struggling to find a balance in the state’s medical marijuana laws, approved in November 2000. Since then some large-scale marijuana dispensaries have opened, one catering for more than 500 people, 10 percent of the total on the state register. Debate is focused on definitions of a “primary caregiver” and on placing limits on how many patients one person can care for as arguments continue over the intent of the original lawmakers and the voters. The matter became so controversial that a meeting planned for March has been rescheduled to June so that a larger hall can be booked to accommodate the expected crowd.
