Colorado Prepares Tough Regulations on Medical Marijuana - WSJ.com →
DENVER—Colorado state regulators are putting the final touches on a fat stack of rules aimed at monitoring, recording and tracking every aspect of the booming medical-marijuana industry, from seed to sale.
On the one hand, it legitimizes medical marijuana in Colorado. On the other, it is incredibly intrusive into the lives of patients, overstepping the boundaries of medical privacy in a country that considers medical privacy nearly sacrosanct (as if we have forgotten the battle over the federal health care overhaul). I don’t know which is better (or worse).
