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.
