More Change On The Way For Marijuana Laws

POSTED: 3:38 pm MDT September 2, 2010
Colorado's medical marijuana dispensaries are already at odds with a law they say is difficult to enforce.

Colorado's pot shops are required by state law to grow 70 percent of their product.The state says every pot shop has to record where they get their supply, but shops say it won't be that easy and say more change is on the way.

"I do fully expect to evolve. Depending on what they decide to do and how they decide to go about it. It just depends on their new rules and regulations they put through. We're obviously going to have to evolve to that to stay legal," said Shawn Kizer of Nature's Medicine.

The state says they don't have enough people to enforce the law.

Right now only 3 employees deal with all the dispensaries in the state.

They are currently hiring workers by using the over 8 million dollars collected in dispensary application fees.
