Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!!!!! OK, I have to admit, this is too much fun for me!

The State Board lost this round and had to PAY ATTORNEY FEES!!  I ask this humble question, “Is this how the State wants to spend what little money it has?”

A Denver District Court judge rebuked the state board of health today for changing rules about medical marijuana without providing adequate notice to patients.

In his ruling, Chief Denver District Court Judge Larry Naves struck down the state board’s actions from a meeting earlier this month. At that telephone conference meeting the board repealed the definition of medical-marijuana “caregiver”, casting the burgeoning industry into uncertainty — all without taking public testimony. Naves also ordered the state to pay the attorneys’ fees of medical-marijuana advocates, who filed a motion saying they were wrongly blocked from participating in the hearing.
