This bill has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee. The public hearing on the bill has been set for March 1, 2011. This will be the public's ONLY TIME TO COMMENT on the bill, until it is moved to the Senate.
PLEASE BRING ALL YOUR PATIENTS TO SPEAK OUT AT THIS HEARING. This is a serious attack on patient rights, and we must show the Committee that will not allow them to prohibit this important cannabis therapy.
*HEARING ON CANNABIS EDIBLE BAN*
House Judiciary Committee
Tues., March 1, 2011
LOCATION: Committee Hearing Room 0107, Basement of state Capitol Building, 200 E. Colfax, Denver, CO
TIME ESTIMATE: According to the official House Calendar, the hearing on HB1250 is scheduled to begin "upon adjournment". This means when the Representatives adjourn from their morning session on the House Floor, they will come down to Hearing Room 0107 and start the hearing on HB1250. What time they start the hearing all depends on how many items are on the House calendar for that morning, so there is no way to say the official start time of the hearing.
It would be safest to show up earlier, maybe around 9am or 10am. Our guess is that testimony will be taken from around 10am to 12noon. The hearing will break at noon for lunch, and then reconvene at 1:30pm only if there is more testimony to hear.
It is also good to show up early to get a seat in the hearing room.
Usually, medical marijuana hearings are held in the Old Supreme Court chambers, the biggest room in the Capitol, because of the large turnout for these hearings. Inexplicably, the Judiciary Committee doesn't think there will be that much interest in this hearing, so they have scheduled it for a smaller room.

Here is the official summary of HB 1250:
"Current law permits a medical marijuana-infused products licensee to produce edible products. The bill would prohibit medical marijuana-infused consumable food and beverage product manufacturing and sale."
*ACTION ALERT*
Stop HB 11-1250, the Medical Cannabis Edible Ban
Emails and Phone Calls Needed
Sample Letter to House Judiciary Committee "I urge you vote no on House Bill 11-1250. Edible cannabis is an important therapy for patients. Patients depend on edible cannabis medicines as one of the most important ways to ingest and benefit from cannabis. The therapeutic value of consumed cannabis medicinals cannot be understated.
This is another direct attack on patient rights. Please have compassion for Colorado patients who need cannabis edible medicine to survive."
We are urging you to CALL and EMAIL the House Judiciary Committee Members.
