Friday was the deadline for Colorado to respond to the suit being brought forth.
To recap:
- The SCOTUS has not yet agreed to HEAR the case, Oklahoma and Nebraska have just filed a suit in the hopes they will.
- Colorado is asking the SCOTUS to throw out/dismiss the suit without hearing it
- If Oklahoma and Nebraska win the suit, it won't make marijuana illegal in Colorado, but it WILL prevent the State from having a hand in regulating and controlling marijuana, essentially restoring the black market of cartels and dealers by removing any licensing, taxation, oversight, or state regulation.
- Washington has filed a brief in support of Colorado, on the grounds a judgement would affect other states; marijuana laws as well
