Updated Colorado statute allows medical marijuana on school property

Driven by his frustration with New Jersey’s restrictive medical marijuana program, Ricardo Rivera crowd-funded a research trip to Colorado. He wanted more information about extracting cannabis oil for his daughter and a new law that means sick kids can be treated with medical marijuana on school property.

Tatyana “Tuffy” Rivera is 8 years old and completely nonverbal. At 10 months old, she was diagnosed with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome that can cause up to 300 seizures a day. Her father says the side effects from two dozen pharmaceuticals only made things worse.

DENVER (CBS4)– It claims to be the first radio station of its kind in the United States and it is getting a lot of different listeners.

Dispensary CEO Ryan Fox says the new outlet has innovative features that improve customer service while ensuring cannabis consumers get all their questions answered.

DENVER (June 26, 2015) -- The Grass Station, one of Colorado’s oldest and largest recreational marijuana dispensaries, is building on its reputation as an industry innovator with its newly-opened second location in Denver’s Stapleton neighborhood.

The state of Colorado was the first in the modern world to plow ahead into the unknown depths of legal, regulated recreational marijuana, and its experiment with retail pot has been considered so successful that many within the cannabis industry refer to what is known as “the Colorado model.”

But there are still a number of unresolved issues in the state — including a severe lacking of spaces where locals and tourists alike can actually legally consume the weed they’re buying.

With public consumption being one of the most contentious issues in Colorado pot, marijuana editor Ricardo Baca asked University of Denver law professor Sam Kamin – known for his expertise in cannabis law – about his opinion on the subject.

Is the push for legal recreational cannabis in North and South America slowing down, hindering or even killing the medical marijuana movement?

As surely as presidential candidates promise to change Washington, nominees for attorney general pledge to uphold the law, not personal policy preferences. Loretta Lynch, now the 83rd attorney general of the United States, was no different when she made her case to Congress in January. Trying to distinguish herself from her lightning rod of a predecessor, Eric H. Holder Jr., she said the law would be her "lodestar."

In the Supreme Court case Nebraska and Oklahoma vs. Colorado, Lynch has an early opportunity to prove that her statement was more than a confirmation hearing cliche.

DENVER, Colorado - Marijuana legalization in Colorado put business owners like Dottie Peterson in a quandary.

Peterson doesn't want workers at the staffing service she operates to use marijuana on the job, though she doesn't mind if they do it in their free time. But she can't hire drug users because of her insurance. Many companies, including hers, get better worker's compensation insurance rates by being a drug-free workplace, so the new employees she hires must pass drug tests.
