dispensaries. HB1284 would:
- Create a "Medical Marijuana Enforcement Investigator" that would be
allowed to perform warrantless searches of dispensaries. They would be able
to come in and count and weigh a dispensary's cannabis and pore over
patient records to make sure the dispensary didn't have "too much." They
would be able to do this repeatedly and with no warning and no probable
cause to suspect wrongdoing.
- Set up a state medical marijuana licensing board run by the Department of
Revenue, not the Department of Health.
- Require 75% of all the cannabis used by the dispensary would have to be
grown onsite.
- Require patients to name their dispensary when they get their license,
without the opportunity to shop around or change their minds
- Prohibit patients who live near schools from engaging in the use of
medical marijuana inside their homes
- Require dispensary owners to pass background checks and submit
fingerprints to the FBI.
- Prohibit dispensary owners that have felony drug convictions
- Require caregivers to giver up their 5th Amendment right against
self-incrimination.
"The House Judiciary committee took public comment on HB1284 on March 4.
However, the bill they debated (version L002) was very different from the
bill that had been open for review since Feb. 5 (version L001). Almost none
of the audience members got an actual copy of the bill, and it is still not
available on state's website as of March 17, a full two weeks after the
hearing.
CTI believes that this type of behavior is intentionally aimed at
preventing patient participation. Read CTI's open letter to the House
Judiciary Committee on how they have so effectively shut patients out of
the legislative process.

CTI has obtained a copy of L002 version of the bill from one of the
sponsors and posted it on our website. Click here to read it:
