House Bill 11-1250 was introduced on Wed., Feb. 9, 2011. This bill will

outlaw all medicinal cannabis edible products in the state, overturning the

licensing scheme for Infused Products Manufacturers that was created by the

state legislature last year.

The bill is sponsored by Rep. Cindy Acree (R-Arapahoe and Elbert Counties)

and Sen. Scott Renfroe (R-Weld County). Co-sponsors of the bill include

Reps. Balmer, Conti, Joshi, Ramirez, and Scott and Senators Harvey, King

K., and Lambert.

This bill has been assigned to the HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. The public

hearing on the bill has been set for March 1, 2011. Get on the CTI’s Email

List to be informed of the exact date and time.

Patients depend on edible cannabis medicines as one of the most important

ways to ingest and benefit from cannabis. The therapeutic value of consumed

cannabis medicinals cannot be understated. This is another direct attack on

patient rights.

Here is the official summary of HB 1250:

“Current law permits a medical marijuana-infused products licensee to

produce edible products. The bill would prohibit medical marijuana-infused

consumable food and beverage product manufacturing and sale.”

Sample Letter to House Judiciary Committee

“I urge you vote no on House Bill 11-1250. Edible cannabis is an important

therapy for patients. It is also an important alternative to smoking

cannabis for those who have a problem with bronchial irritation. There has

been no harm shown from cannabis edibles, so there is no reason to ban it.

Please have compassion for Colorado patients who need cannabis edible

medicine to survive.”

We are urging you to CALL and EMAIL the House Judiciary Committee Members.
