Final shout out of 2013, last call for cake!‏ - Jessica LeRoux - December 23, 2013

Editor: Thanks to Jessica for sharing her thoughts and flames over this past year at Denver Direct. We hope she has more time for writing now and can maybe take life a little easier. Nah, that wouldn't be Jessica, would it.

Hey Now, 

So here we are rounding out the year, and i want you to know what an interesting year it has been… Im proud of you all for making it to the finish line like champs. I will be wishing each and every one of you the very best in the coming year and from time to time I will be writing to you to update you on my personal plans for the future, or even worse to alarm you about political skullduggery at the capitol and beyond… 

I have a loosely formed plan to use a kitchen that has a current Medical MIPs license (and maybe a future rec kitchen, under application...) a few days each month so as to keep my most loyal supporters and patients i really care about covered with the Twirling Hippy Confections products they suddenly realize they can't "live" with out… my plan is to blanket the state with a once monthly run, so you guys are gonna need to be organized when the time comes in February or so and you will be given a couple weeks notice in advance…. 

Freezer space might become a premium so you probably won't be able to get the banana's n apple crisps so stock em up now! 

I hope you've all absorbed if not understood the new production cap rules, if not check this out. 

and this: item D in the link above begs the question of when will & how will the one time transfer be excised, if at all, on those products transferred to recreational inventory and plant count?  

But thank god so many of industry asses pandered to the falsehoods and ponied up a vote for more taxation with out representation: 

Department of Revenue:Colorado Medical Marijuana Sales Datawww.colorado.govBased on a finding by the Office of the State Auditor, the Department of Revenue has re-analyzed medical marijuana sales tax data. As a result of the Department’s review, two reports have been restated to more accurately reflect the state sales tax submitted by medical marijuana dispensaries. The fi...

9 million on the state wide 3.2% tax of just medical patients and you still cant get a badge... yet now we need to tax every damn recreational gram at 25% to improve "police efficiency?"....6 million the year before, and since 2010 approximately 26 million in licensing fees have come due (but were they all paid?) and we are paying another 2 million for MITs on top of all this waste... huzzah!

meanwhile: 

Up to 5,000 calls to 911 go unanswered in Colorado Springs each month, police chief sayswww.thedenverchannel.comColorado Springs Police Chief Peter Carey is asking for more money because up to 5,000 calls a month to 911 are not being answered. The city council has cut $400,000 from the police budget and will consider the police chief's objections to the cuts on Tuesday.

behind the wheel… 

not exactly sure how we should collectively handle this???

Starting on Jan. 1, drivers who refuse sobriety tests will be labeled 'persistent drunk drivers'www.thedenverchannel.comStarting on Jan. 1, any Colorado driver who refuses a D.U.I. sobriety test will be branded a "persistent drunk driver."
