Poor patients need caregivers; Don't let Denver destroy them!
ACT NOW:
Stop Denver from limiting safe access!
On Monday August 9th, the Denver City Council will hear a first reading of an ordinance to BAN caregivers from growing medical marijuana for any patient in any residential zone district. The ordinance will make it a zoning violation for anyone to grow more than 12 plants in any residential zone district. In addition, the 12 plants can only be grown for patients who live at that address. This ordinance will effectively ban the caregiver model of safe access in Denver!
It gets worse.....
Ordinance C10-0607 is being introduced by Councilmember Jeanne Robb, who admits that she did notconsult a single patient during the drafting process!
The ordinance will be heard for a first reading on Monday night at 5:30p. If it passes first reading, a public hearing will be scheduled for sometime in September, along with a final vote.
Please call you city council representative TODAY and tell them to vote NO on Ordinance C10-0607. The city council should send the ordinance back to the drawing board and draft an ordinance that regulates - not bans - small time caregivers in Denver.
Important Targets:
Councilwoman Jeanne Robb: 303 377 1807
Councilman Chris Nevitt: 720 865 8900
Councilwoman Carla Madison: 303 298 7641
Message: Please vote NO on C10-0607. This change will hurt medical marijuana patients who rely on small caregivers to provide them with low cost medicine. Please don't act to limit patient access to medicine in Denver!
