Are you aware of the fact that if you are a legal medical marijuana patient in Colorado and you "are caught" with your medicine during non-business hours (9-5 Monday - Friday), you are going to jail? That's 100% fact! The state database that keeps track of legal patients is only open from 9am-5pm Monday - Friday. If you're on I-25 and get pulled over by a cop and you have medicine in your car, you are going to jail. Your vehicle is impounded and YOU have to pay to get it back. If it's Friday evening and you stopped at a dispensary to pick up some meds for the weekend and you're "caught", you're looking at a very long weekend in the county jail if you don't have the money to post bail. That's right! They can keep you detained until the database registry opens on Monday morning!

This is false.

Dealing with the Police can be stressful. Remain calm and remember to assert your rights. If the police say "Do you mind if I look in your home, car, purse, or bag?" You should say "I do not consent to a search." If they continue to ask, you should continue to say "I do not consent to a search." If they ask "Why not, do you have something to hide?" You should say "I have a Constitutional right to privacy. I do not consent to a search."

  • State law requires you to provide your name and identification if asked to do so by state or local police.
  • However, you do not have to voluntarily engage in a long discussion or interrogation with the police before you are charged with a crime. If the police ask you to voluntarily talk to them about your possible marijuana use or cultivation, ask them if you have been charged with a crime. If you have not, politely tell them you do not want to talk to them without the presence of an attorney. Say, "I assert my right to remain silent."
  • If you have been charged with a crime, such as possession or cultivation of marijuana, say, "I am a medical marijuana patient licensed under state law to possess, cultivate, and consume the marijuana in my possession." You may also show them your medical marijuana card from the state of Colorado or your doctor’s recommendation to use medical marijuana.
  • You do not need to say anything else to police. If the police persist in asking you questions, ASSERT YOUR 5TH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. Do not voluntarily talk with the police about this issue once you have been charged with a crime because anything you say can and will be used against you in court.
Know your rights or you will get screwed.:hump:

Doesn't anyone else see that this article is about regulations and big Pharma taking over the MM business? They don't care about patients only money and controlling the flow through regulations and expensive patents:

secure patient access to medical marijuana" on the Colorado ballot this November

They only used the "poor sick patients" to pass their legislation which affords no rights or freedoms to the public!
