All Things MMJ with Jessica LeRoux - Sept. 30, 2012

Hey Now,
Well there went the Summer, I hope some of you at least made a couple good days of it while keeping up with the changes and challenges of the MMJ business in these confusing times. As of this week we will be delivering to Co Springs EVERY tuesday, so get your orders in ASAP for this week's delivery... And go see the freekin colors, the Aspens in vail are boomin, Telluride is Amazing, and the drive over from T-ride to Durango is off the Hook, top prize in the state is Rico, it may be remote but it is worth the drive! Get on it before the 3-6 days of fall foliage are played out, the snow is coming, and some of it was already falling on me this weekend.

Just in from the MMED, cant imagine what they are licensing since the MMED currently has No statutory authority to issue a vendor license for any person to carry or handle meds... at this time vendors only have statutory authority to Fix equipment and property associated with a licensed MMJ business location.

'ELEPHANT' TO BE CHAINED TO GROUND AS RINGLING BRINGS THE CRUELEST SHOW ON EARTH TO DENVER

PETA Zeroes in on Circus's Violent Treatment of Baby Elephants

                       A PETA member wearing an elephant costume will be chained and held to the ground outside the Denver Coliseum on Thursday while the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus forces animals to perform under threat of punishment inside. Other PETA supporters will hold signs that read, "This Is Baby Elephant Training." PETA's point? That a former Ringling employee turned whistleblower furnished PETA with photos that reveal how baby elephants used by Ringling are stretched out, slammed to the ground, gouged with steel-tipped bullhooks, and shocked with electric prods. These abusive sessions go on for several hours a day in order to force the baby elephants to learn to perform circus tricks out of fear of punishment. The photos—and other damning evidence of Ringling's abuse of animals—can be seen in a video narrated by actor Alec Baldwin.

                        "Denver residents would run screaming from the big top if they knew how baby elephants are violently forced to perform difficult, confusing, and sometimes painful tricks," says PETA Foundation Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement Delcianna Winders. "Since children love animals, the last place that parents and grandparents should take them to is the circus."

Late last year, Ringling paid $270,000—the largest fine in circus history—for violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

                       Outside the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt St. (near the intersection of 44^th Street and Arkins Court), Denver

Fair Food and Farmworker Justice at Chipotle Festival‏

From: Denver Fair Food Committee denverfairfood@gmail.com

 

The weather may cooling, the Campaign for Fair Food is heating up in Denver!  Momentum is growing as Denver allies and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers make plans to bring creative actions to Oct. 6 Chipotle "Cultivate Festival", calling on the chain to finally sign a Fair Food Agreement with the CIW.

Here's a few of the exciting happenings:

1. Oscar Otzoy of the CIW is in Denver through October 6 connecting with community members and animating them to get involved in the Oct. 6 actions. If you'd like to invite Oscar to make an announcement or do a workshop about the CIW's 20-year struggle for justice in the tomato fields of Florida with your community organization, faith group, union, or classroom contact DenverFairFood@gmail.com.   

2. On Saturday Sept. 15, Chipotle brought the "Cultivate Festival" to Chicago's Lincoln Park. While Chipotle celebrated inside the gated festival, the CIW and allies set up on a neighboring field to both remind Chipotle and educate festival attendees that the restaurant chain has chosen to ignore farmworkers rather than recognize and respect their vital contribution to the food system by joining the Fair Food Program. For a small hint of the exciting actions being planned for Denver,see the photo report from Chicago here. 

3. If you're interested in learning more about the Campaign for Fair Food and the actions planned for Oct. 6, one opportunity will be this Thursday at the Occupy Denver Teach-In:

Breaking news on proposed Walmart at 9th and Colorado

COUNCILWOMEN SUSMAN AND ROBB OPPOSE TIF FOR CURRENT 9TH AND COLORADO DEVELOPMENT

September 21, 2012                                                  

(DENVER)  Councilwoman Mary Beth Susman and Councilwoman Jeanne Robb announced today that they will not support tax increment financing for the redevelopment as currently proposed at 9th and Colorado by Fuqua Development. The Councilwomen’s joint statement follows:

“We respect the hard work of the Colorado Boulevard Health Care District (CBHCD), the City’s Department of Community Planning & Development (CPD), the Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA), and the developer to facilitate the redevelopment of this key site.  We also want to thank our constituents for all the ideas and input.                  

Plans for redevelopment of the former Health Sciences Center site owned by the University of Colorado (CU) have been in progress since 2003. In that time, different developers offered site plans that evolved with the developer and the economy.  The initial balanced, mixed-use project became more retail-oriented through the years. The proposed insertion of Wal-Mart as anchor tenant created a tipping point for new scrutiny of the project that needs a greater mix of uses if it is to generate increases in retail sales for the area.   We are concerned that the project as proposed is more likely to draw from other retail in the area, thus not producing a true tax increment.

Our constituents have made their concerns about the current proposal known, and we respect their views. 

We intend to continue working with our communities, CU, this developer or a future developer, the CBHCD, and the City administration to find a viable alternative.”

The Fix is In

Have you ever attended a public meeting calling for "citizen input" on an issue to be decided by a government committee? Did you get the feeling that the issue was already decided and that the meeting was just for show? You might want to read this study by Stephen M. Griffin, MAC, PhD.

As “experts” the Denver Parks and Recreation Department excluded, ignored, or marginalized any of the public’s input that did not conform to their view of the best practices in dog park planning. The External Stakeholders Committee members did not feel the meetings were led in a way that allowed them to have meaningful input on the elements of the Plan. The Department’s public meetings were poster sessions, where the primary focus was allowing citizens to ask questions, and the collection of public input on the draft plan was secondary. The meeting conducted by the City Park Alliance was more a debate protest than a planning session. The result was the public had no meaningful influence on the decisions reached in the process.

The Legacy of Michael Bennet, our Senator

The Denver school system, for instance, got clobbered when it opted for an exotic swap deal pushed by J.P. Morgan Chase (the same villain in Jefferson County, incidentally) and then-school superintendent/future U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, that ended up costing the school system tens of millions of dollars. As was the case in Jefferson County, the only way out of the deal involved a massive termination fee that might have been even more destructive than the deal itself.
