Colorado Potentially Facing Controversial Marijuana Bill
A Colorado Representative has proposed a bill that many say would cripple the current medical and recreational marijuana industry in the state.
The Representative, Yadira Caraveo, has put forth a bill that would severely limit the current medical and recreational marijuana industry that has been prevalent in Colorado for several years.
One of the major controversial subjects of the bill is that it would limit the sale of marijuana products to those of only 15% tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly known as THC, or less, which is the psychoactive chemical in the plant.
This would include marijuana buds or flower as it s more commonly known, as well as edibles and other forms of the plant. The bill would also prohibit flavored vaporizer products, inhalers, and suppository forms of the plant, which are much less common and largely unknown by most users.
If Grand Junction Allows Marijuana Where Should the Money Go?

This has been a highly debated topic for years in Grand Junction. We have marijuana sales going on around us in Palisade, Parachute, and DeBeque but not in Grand Junction. There are many people that believe it should be sold in Grand Junction as we could use the benefit of the tax dollars toward our city. But what do you think the tax money made from marijuana should go towards?
The reason I bring this up is that according to KKCO earlier this week at the city council meeting the topic was brought up. There has been an ordinance in place since 2011 banning the sale of marijuana in Grand Junction. But that could be overturned, and the council discussed how the city could properly control the sale, manufacture, and creation the marijuana.
