Boulder Weekly, 01 Nov 2012 – We have to wonder why nine years elapsed between voter approval and the decision to protect the consumer and the public from graft and the lugubrious practices of more than 180 dispensaries in Denver. There will be a public hearing on medical marijuana dispensaries, Jan. 11, before Denver City Council at 5:30 p.m. at the City and County Building. Did the City Council feel that this was an innocent franchise business connected to hospitals and clinics? Did they pretend to ignore the outcome, thinking that no one would take these enterprises seriously? Did we believe that the medical doctors would all have the highest scruples and protect the patients from abusing the service? Did law enforcement think that because they are already overburdened that the incidental indiscretions of medical marijuana dispensaries would in some way be an unnecessary waste of their precious energy?
