From the Denver Post:
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers says that if an Obama administration plan not to arrest medical-marijuana users and suppliers is going to work, state lawmakers need to regulate the industry.
But drawing up rules for how medical marijuana is grown and distributed likely will not be a top priority when the legislature reconvenes in January.
“The people of Colorado have clearly spoken on this issue and have decided that medicinal uses of marijuana are appropriate and legal in Colorado,” said House Speaker Terrance Carroll, D-Denver. “When the legislature reconvenes in January, I will be asking the House to keep our focus on bolstering the economy, creating jobs and balancing the budget.”
