Colorado Votes to Pass A64:
What Happens Next?
Colorado has made cannabis history...
again. Now what? Sometime in the next 60 days, the Governor will to
certify the election results, making Amendment 64 law. Until
certification occurs, it is not law.
A64 states that adults 21+ can start growing up to 6 cannabis plants (3
mature) for personal consumption, and possess up to 1 oz. of cannabis
(which is a reduction from the 2 oz. limit for medical patients). It
will be ILLEGAL to sell or receive any remuneration, but other details
remain uncertain. Some attorneys are recommending the public exercise
extreme caution until the state positions are clarified. As Gov.
Hickenlooper indicated in today's Denver Post, "The
voters have spoken and we have to respect their will. This will be a
complicated process, but we intend to follow through. That said, federal
law still says marijuana is an illegal drug so don't break out the
Cheetos or gold fish too quickly.”
A regulatory framework for retail sales of cannabis may be developed
sometime between now and July 2014 requiring approval from the governor;
licenses would not be issued until 2014. Local governments will still
have the right to ban retail sales. Also at issue is whether taxes will
be able to be collected on the retail sales of cannabis, as taxing
requires a vote of the people.
