Former owner of 420 Highways dispensary, arrested on marijuana charges

Category: News | Posted on Thu, November, 3rd 2011 by THCFinder

This is a perfect example of someone in the industry giving legitimate dispensary owners a bad rap and hurting the overall view of an industry that is already looked down upon by so many.

Veronica Carpio, former owner of 420 Highways, a dispensary we reviewed last year was busted Tuesday for an alleged $30,000 marijuana deal intended to send Colorado herb out of state.
She also faces charges of using the U.S. Postal service to ship ganja to less green places.
 
The Boulder Daily Camera reports that Carpio was targeted by the Boulder County Drug Task Force after an informant told police she was sending pounds of marijuana out of state using the USPS as a currier.
 
Apparently that same informant met with Carpio twice to buy marijuana by the pound, telling her both times that the ganja was headed out of state to Missouri. For a third meeting, the informant was accompanied by an undercover cop and worked out a ten-pound/$30,000 deal set to go down a few days later at a residence on Baseline Road in Boulder. According to police reports, Carpio also bragged about having sent pot out of state in the past as well as talking about mailing large amounts of cash.
 
Carpio seems to have been good on her end of the deal, as police say they found ten pounds of green in the house when they swooped in to arrest her on Tuesday at her home in Boulder. The 33-year-old allegedly said she had pot leftover from her from her dispensary, which was forced to close when Lafayette banned dispensaries entirely. She admitted to selling off surplus, but said it was always just a few ounces and never to anyone from or intending to sell out of state. She also contends that the ten pounds of buds police found during the bust were not hers.

Medical marijuana to be used in open at event

Category: Events | Posted on Thu, November, 3rd 2011 by THCFinder
AUGUSTA -- Certified patients will use medical marijuana in an outdoor tent on public property as part of a trade show at the Augusta Civic Center this weekend.
 
The sanctioned use of marijuana on public property -- part of the two-day Home Grown Maine Trade Show organized by Medical Marijuana Caregivers of Maine -- is unprecedented in the state, the result of intensive negotiations among Kennebec County District Attorney's Office, the Augusta Police Department, event organizers and civic center personnel.
 
Accommodating legal users of the drug posed a sticky issue for civic center staff.
 
For instance, where could attendees who hold proper legal documentation be permitted to use marijuana for medical purposes? The state law that permits medical use of marijuana to relieve debilitating medical conditions bans people from smoking it in public places.
 
Organizers posed the question to Dana Colwill, civic center director.
 
The answer -- negotiated through law enforcement officials and transmitted to the show organizers -- is to use a vaporizer, which produces no smoke, in a controlled location.
 
Admission to the tent will be controlled by Medical Marijuana Caregivers of Maine staff, who will check the legal qualifications of persons.

Florida Medical Marijuana Referendum Petition a Bit Low on Signatures: 646,889 More Needed

Category: Legalization | Posted on Thu, November, 3rd 2011 by THCFinder
If you want to see a medical marijuana referendum on the 2012 ballot, you'll have to say a prayer that House Joint Resolution 353 passes through the Legislature -- it's currently in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee -- or you're going to have to be one of 646,889 more Floridians to sign the People United for Medical Marijuana petition.
 
PUFMM has scored 29,922 of the 676,811 valid signatures needed by February 1 to land on the ballot, which means they're about 4.4 percent of the way there.
 
Since PUFMM's last tally on October 29, 7,646 of the 29,922 signatures (25.5 percent) come from Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties.
 
The amendment to the Florida Constitution is fairly different from the one proposed in the House by Rep. Jeff Clemens of Lake Worth, as the language in the PUFMM petition seemingly offers less regulation than the one in the Legislature.
 
Instead of the handful of limits that would be imposed against potential patients -- as with HJR 353 -- the citizen petition provides a person would be eligible if they fit a certain list of medical conditions or "other diseases and conditions when recommended by a physician." We all know that anxiety you get when you're about to run out of weed.
 
PUFMM's petition also calls for the ability of the Legislature to enact a "general law" for patients to undergo some sort of registration, as well as regulations for the distribution and sale of medical marijuana. (Remember, Gov. Rick Scott doesn't like all those burdensome regulations.)
 
The final point in the petition allows the Legislature to craft laws regarding the use of motor vehicles, boats, and planes while under the influence of medical weed.
