With the national debate over how--or even whether--to legalize marijuana now hitting a fevered pitch, many eyes are focused squarely on Colorado, where lawmakers are now considering proposals to increase regulation of the state's vibrant medical marijuana industry.
Unfortunately, emotion is trumping fact in too much of this public debate. In a guest column carried in today's Denver Post (authored by Robert and titled "Stop the Medical Marijuana Madness"), as well as through previous commentary we've authored, we lament how a handful of powerful politicians, including some of our fellow Republicans, are using antecdotes, half-truths, and unfounded theories, to make their case for cumbersome regulation, including moratoriums that could prevent new dispensaries from opening at all.
