FEDERAL LAW : On th e federal level , 1 beli eve we ought to urge FDA to co mpl ete te st ing of

to authorize med mj and they have acc~ss to better, effecti ve, ful ly legal options that are covered by
insuranc~ and avai lable through regular phnnn acies, then dispen saries will be used less oft en and voter

Re : Preliminary Comments on Draft Text (Dec. I.. 2009)
Denver Medical Marijuana Dispensary Licensing Ordinan~c
Dear Denver City Cou ncil :
Thank yo u for the opportunity to provide comments to th e Draft Medica l
Marijuana Ordinance in advance of the December 2, 2009 meeting . Specific
com ments follow :
Sec. :?4-40 1. Purpose and legis lative Intent:
Amendment 20 speci fica ll y provides that th e "distribution ," "sa le," "di spensing ,"
"production ," "manufacture ," etc . of marijuana for medi cal use is lega l. Colorado
Cons titution , Article XVlll § 14(l)(b); § 14(2)(d) .
lfd1 e tru e interest is "publi c heal th , safety , and welfare ," th en parts of thi s
proposa l do not advance to thi s stated purpose . Th is propo sa l, if adopted , would
hann public health , safe ty, and welfare, and would de ny suffering people th eir
medi cine that li censed ph ysic ian s recomm end they have . It wou ld mak e medicine
le ss acces sible , more expe nsive, and more dangerous fr • vulnerable sufTe rin g
patients .
Sec. 24-405 . Application:
(4) Re<1uiring 24-hour co ntac t information , nam es and addresses , for di spe nsary
managers be provided to th e ge nera l publi c, is a recipe for hara ss ment and threats .
Already, opponents of medical marijuana and other dema gogues ha ve whipped up
and encouraged a cli mat e of dis crimination and hatred aga inst th ese di spensari es .
To require owners to take "pub lic questions and concerns" 24 hours a day and
provide a pub lic address docs not protect public hea lt h, safety. and welfare .
Perhaps abortion providers operating in Denver should be req uired to provide
si milar stree t addre sses and 24 -hour co ntact in for mation to address "public
questions and co ncerns ."
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
(5) Previous conviction of drug offenses must not di sq uali fy a person from servi ng
as a primary caregiver. Many marijuana patients and ca regivers pick ed up
vic timle ss mariju ana-re lated criminal charges or conviuions in the di stant pas~
whic h sho uld not be a bar if a person wishes to convert th eir previous ac tivity and
valuable skills to a lawful and legi timate job that helps suffering peop le. As
cu rrently phrased , thi s would prohibit a person co nvicted of a petty marijua na
offense who paid a $100 fine (an ordi nance that Denver voters repealed) .
(8) There shou ld be no arbitrary di stan ce limit from sc hoo ls and day care ce nters,
which would effective ly ban the operations in some parts of th e City and Co un ty .
There is no documented cuse of any child eve r purchasin g or ob tainin g medica l
marijuana from a dispensary , ·1istance limit accomplis hes nothin g, as children
are mobil e and ca n tra vel to . is r, 1saric ,, if th at were a prob lem which it is not. It
is uncl ear what "problem" au .. _,ice limit from schoo ls "solves ." (Thi s com ment
al so app lies to Sec. 24-407, Prohibited location s.) Why is 499 feet from a sc ho ol
un acceptab le but 501 fee t acceptable? There is no answer 10 thi s rhetori ca l
que stion , i.e., the very definition of arbitrary .
As for th e 1000-foot limit from other di spe nsaries , th ere is a simi lar objec ti on to
above , ind eed co ncentra tin g dis pensar ies in certain loca les probab ly benefits the
co nsum er/patie nt as we ll as law enforcement. In co njun ction with the 500-foot
ban from sc hoo ls. this wou ld elTectively furth er ban the se from so me parts of the
Ci ty and County . It is un clea r what "probl em" a distance limit fro m other
dispen saries "so lves."
Sec. 24-408. Reguir emenl~ related to lice nse d premi ses .
Di spensary hou rs shou ld not be limited , es pecia lly fr om 11 pm to 11 am . Wh y so
late in the morning'/ Pharmacies are open 24 ho urs in some cases , since
eme rge ncies can occur and pa ti ents may ne ed medicine at all hours. That sa id ,
most dispe nsa ri es now choose to limit thei r own hours , but sho uld not be
pro hi bited from hav in g a 24-ho ur help line to provide medicin e to patie nts in
emerge ncy situa tion s on an as-need ed basis .
On-site consump tio n, if properl y sc i up, can b~ an important aspec t of
di spensa ri es . Man y pnt ient s nee d to medicate in pri va te area of' di spe nsary since
:!1ey have no other private arl!a to do so, and chi ldren may be pre se nt in th eir
hom es , and th e Const itution pre ve nt s use in "p ubli c vi ew." Thi s would send
peopl e to Civ ic Center Park 10 med icate , which is un sa fe and un sightl y, and
ill<!gal.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Sec. 24-409 Requirements related to public health and labeli~g .
The labelin g requirement wou ld mandate labe ling that ii ,1 mi ss tatement of
law. Re-distribution to a third person is protected by th e Constituti on, and not a
criminal offe nse , iftlte third pe rson is a pa tient.
Sec. 24-4IO Co mpliance with sta te law .
The so urce and quantity of th e medi cin e is by definition lawfu l if amou nts
possessed are med ica ll y necessary for patients se rved .
A licensee wo uld have a defense to crimin al pro secution regardl ess of wh at thi s
sec ti on says .
The $2 ()1)0 appl icatio n fee and $3000 licen se fee per yea r are too hi gh .
Other Things to Co nsi der
Thi s is a co nsti tution all y-prot ec ted medicine , th at is currentl y overpriced beca use
of high demand and low suppl y. Pat ient s depend on thi s medi ci ne in so me cases
for their lives .
Furth er restrictin g suppl y onl y dr ives up th e cos t for pa tients, who would be
ha rm ed by cru shin g regu lati ons. The mos t vuln erabl e or patie nt s are hann ed the
most.
Th e City Co un cil should co nside r adding a prohibit ion on job and housin g
disc rimination based on status as Medica l Marijuana patie nt to th e City's anti -
disc rimitn ti on ordin ance .
Tha nl. yo u f'or co nsider in g th ese co mments Pl ease call me at 3 3-63 4-2244 wi th
an y .111estion s .

My n~me is Shannon & I li ve in Englewood , District I. I am here again tonight to discu ss
Baker Paik . Today I made over 140 flyer s to which I have hru1ded out in the immediate
neighborhood of Baker Park & have enou gh copies for the person who takes the minut es,
City Manager, City Attorn ey, & City Council member;. You can peruse it @ your lei sure .
The information in tl1e flyer s was provid ed b·1 Bob Toll or Arapahoe County , Dav e Lee &
Jerrell Blnck from Englewood Parks & Rccte otion s, & from the Englewood Citizen. l11 e
information provided by Dave Lee & Jerrell Black has already been sent to City Council
members, City Manager , & City Attorn ey . The point is that Baker Park is tl1e only park in
tl1e city of Englewood that had a winwr port-o-potty in the past , but currentl y does not. Atler
sitting in tl1e December 7, 2009 City Council meeting & watching the majority of the City
Council members vote for 1/2 million dollars to go to Pirates Cove & Centennial Park
Complex, I find it laugh able that the City can 't fund the $95 .00 monthl y fee rental for a
regular toilet , $30 .00 for it's delivery, & $14 .25 for the 15% monthl y fuel surcharge on the
toilet from October to April , yet Belleview Park has 2 port-a-pottie s as doe s the Centennial
Compl ex, & what appears to be a handicap port-o-potty @ Canine Corral , which costs
$125.00 a montl1 for rental & is there year round , to which Englewood Unleashed contribu t~s
nothin g to, even thou gh tl1eir motto has bee n "Dedicated to public education for off-leash do,;

The following 3 pages arc copi.., of a flyer and a post-rard-sized announcement I
plan to print and distribute to as many Englewood cifu.ens as possible.
Would you please review these announcements for their accuracy, th en let me
know the dates, times , and locations of your respective Co1D1mmity Meetings? I
want to add that information to th e announcements.
I'm also wondering if Councilman Rick Gillit will post either or both
announcements on bis community website, and whether The Greater Englewood
Chamber of Commerce will consider posting th ese on their website , as well , once
the announcements are complete . Rick's 1/7/10 community meeting is not listed,
because th ese announcements will go out th en or after.
Volunteers will do th e physical distributing of th e flyers and card~, and I'll do
some of th e businesses distributing.
My thought is that , by havi ng th ese fl yers and cards, so me or many of th e citize ns

PEOPLE,
The Citizens 0£
Engle'tVood,
collectively hold a unique
opportuni_ty to become
leaders in Colorado!
How?
By participating in our
city's regulatio ns planning
process for future, local,
legal, medical cannabis
(medical marijuana)
facilities .
12/30/2009
Pl ease remember that
Colorado voters approved
Amendment 20 of the
Colorado State Constitution
in the year 2000, legalizing
medical cannabis in the State
of Colorado, under certain
conditions. The vagueness of
the or iginal legislation has
come to li g ht with the sudden
surge of application :; for and
openings of medical cannabis
f acilities throughout
Colorado.
Englewood's Council placed
and extended a moratorium
on new dispens aries within
our city. Englewood's
ex tended moratorium is set to
expire on June 17, 2010.
The extended moratorium
allows for time to educate,
become ed u cated, ask
questions, provide answers,
voice concerns, and express
ideas regarding medical
cannabis facilities in
Englewood. The result will
be ordinances and
regu lations that are carefully
thought through, utilizing
education and citizen input.
Safety for everyone is always
the #1 concern!!
We must provide safe, legal
patient access to medir·ine
and maintain a safe
en'?ironment for everyone.
All viewpoints and questions
are welcome.
Please ... remember your
manners.
Speak with respect.
Only peaceable dis c ussions
about medical cannab is issues
will be considered.
Our Council wants to hear
from you.
SPEAK U P & BE HEARD!!
Be curious. Get creative.
Have fun with your ideas!
Voice your concerns!
M eet, grow to know our
Council members, and
expand your knowl edge.
B E EDUCATED!
GET INVOLVED !
12/30/2009
We The P eop l e of the City of
Englewood can make ourselves
leaders in Colorado 's municipal,
medical marijuana poliCIJ
Maybe even i.::ad ers in the USA!
Your concerns and ideas know
only you until you voice them.

Fewer Retail Offices Remain Under Review fot Consolidation
USPS Moves to Remove Cost and Maintain Customer Access
WASHINGTON -The Postal Service announced today lhel 413 retail slalions and branches remain under consideration for
possible consolldatlon . Today's an nouncement updates a ,Iudy begun earlier this summer lhal examined a wide range of stations
and t,anches In urban and suburban areas across lhe cou nt ry, focu sing on offices in ciose proxim ity lo determine where

Wl lh nearly 37,000 Posl Offices , stations, branches , conlracl and community posl offices , lhe U.S. Postal Serv ice has lhe la,gest
retail network In the United Stales. In addition, about 56,000 other locations such as supermarkets, drug stores, and other retailers
sell postage and selected postal services . Nearly 18,000 automated teller mach ines (ATMs) also dispense sheets of stamps . And ,
postage can be purchased and printed on personal computers at usps .com ,
The only prov ider of ma ll service lo every home and business address in the country, the Postal Serv ice Is committed to providi ng
re li able, secure, affordable postal services with convenient access . Un like most federal agencies, America 's nati onal mail system
receives no tax subsidy for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage , products and services to fund its opera tions .
Th.rrent deep national recess ion has exacerbated erosion in First-Class Mall volumes due to a change in consumer
pr ces lo electronic systems for Instant messaging , Invoicing and bill payment. Mall volume In 2009 is p1 ·o]ec led to be as
mu s 20 billion fewer pieces than in 2008 . St ill , mall volume in 2009 will be In the ne ighborhood of 170 billion pieces of mail.
To offset the current extremely difficu lt financ ial position, the Postal Service has su ccesi ' illy remo ved more than $6 billion In cost
in 2009 , Including :
, Culling more than 100 mill ion work hours, the equivalent of 57 ,000 positions ;
■ Clozing slx olstrict adm inis trative offices ;
, Adjust ing carrier routes to reflect dim inished volume and ellrr.lnating nearly 12,000 earner routes :
, Inst itu ting a nat io nwide hiring freeze;
, Reducing author ized staffing levels at nat ional and reg ional offices by 15 perce nt ;
, Selling unu sed and under-utllized pos tal facilities;
, Ad justing Post Office hours to better refl ect customer use :
, Consolldatlng mail processi ng operati ons ;
, Hall ing construction of new postal facilities; and
, Freezing salaries of all Postal Serv ice officers and executives .
Add itional efficiency Initi at ives are continu ing . Redu cing over-capacity in reta il and delivery operations is a good busi ness move.
Every effort will be ma de to ma lnta lr. and improve customer access lo post al services .
Today's anno uncement Is part of the Station an d Branch Opt imization and Consollda llon initiative lhal is cu rrently being reviewed
by the Postal Reg ula tory Commissi on (PRC). As part of this proceeding, lhe Postal Serv ice is required lo file wl lh lh e PRC lhe
names of facUl tles under review .
