Yelled foul, the state listened, the industry reacted, experts were called, the rules were modified, and dixie finally passed their fire department inspection. the oil crisis was over. the regulators have been satisfied. the boxes have been checked. last night about 9:00 p.m., we started manufacturing oil. some day, the pot barons will look back on the summer of 2014. our nutty bite boiling away. gets to a certain temperature, and then it ll be poured. and they ll remember a watershed moment, a time of their personal wealth, social confrontation, and their political crisis. but today is another sunny day in colorado, and with it comes new opportunity. julie dooley will roll out another batch of nutty bites and hope her boutique business survives. bob will dig into his pocket and buy new equipment to make smaller and less potent ....
When the newcomers and tourists flooded in, many overconsumed. i know people are concerned. one of the things i m frustrated with is people thinking that the industry doesn t care. we do care. yeah, there is opposition. one of the most vocal groups is smart colorado. we have an awful lot of people here in the state that are just out to make money in this business and make this industry as big as possible. but we feel that there has not been due consideration to what this is going to do to our communities and particularly our kids. those are probably some of the most uneducated comments i ve ever heard if they re really being said. the reality is i have two children. i am concerned about kids having access to cannabis. and if you want to take cannabis out of the hands of children, put it in the hands of legal, licensed companies. it is harder for children to get ....

Million education campaign warning kids not to be marijuana lab rats. they pass emergency rules requiring edibles to be sold in smaller portions, more clearly marked, and delivered in newly designed childproof packaging. in an industry working without the support of bank loans, these new costs are serious roadblocks. the rules, which consist of approximately 35 pages, that was debilitating. we put some additional requirements on the manufacturers, and we passed that rule in emergency fashion so we could get safer edibles out in the marketplace sooner rather than later. i wouldn t say that the government is a partner with the industry right now. we battle every day on new information that comes out and new rules that possibly could be made. ten milligrams is a serving that if you sell one ten-milligram serving size alone, then it just has to be in an opaque package. ....
