MARIJUANA AND COLORADO LAW

Re: "Study finds perilous mold in Colorado pot-growing operations," 
Sept. 11 news story.

This story noted that police and firefighters were being exposed to 
harmful mold in non-medical marijuana grows. As a badged employee of 
the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division, I have witnessed 
firsthand the meticulous measures taken by growers at state-licensed 
facilities to ensure mold-free, clean environments.

If Amendment 64 gets a fair chance and passes this November, you can 
expect that same level of quality, cleanliness and, above all, 
regulation to in time take over every aspect of the now illegal 
marijuana system in the state. It seems like a simple choice to stop 
throwing brave men and women into the moldy wood chipper in the name 
of the war on drugs, or we could do something different, something bold.
