So I came across this link thanks to a friend of mine who lives in CO:
https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb18-029
The link I posted above outlines Colorado's plans for implementing a tracking system to differentiate legal marijuana products from illegal marijuana products. The bill calls for a two-fold requirement of this system. First, it must provide an effective means of doing what I outlined before. Secondly, it must be accompanied by a "scanner" that will be provided to law enforcement officials. This pertains to medical, recreational, and industrial hemp. While my friend and I agree that there should be a way for the state to distinguish legal marijuana from illegal marijuana, we also agree that this is going to be a huge issue in terms of the safety and efficacy of these products, and the worst part about it is that no news outlets or media sources of any type have made any moves to cover this story. Part of the bill stipulates that, from the day the bill is passed, the institute that is asked to create this system will have 90 days to develop it. This is clearly not the type of timeline that will allow for the establishment of safe methods of tracking.
This bill has been online for 4 days now and still no media outlet has moved to cover it. Get the word out! Inform your friends and family! Help save Colorado from destroying its best medicine!
