{Denver} -- Attorney Robert J. Corry, Jr. filed a lawsuit on Dec. 5, 2014 in Denver District Court seeking to permanently end Colorado's marijuana self-incriminating regulatory licensing system, on the grounds that the regulations violate a citizen's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, since marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

I hope this goes all the way to the Colorado Supreme Court and overturns the entire red card system. He's right.

omg..."continuing criminal enterprise" governor laundering money....that is a game changing case right there.

Not a good thing that they make the case for the feds to invalidate and overturn Colorado law.
Say goodbye to legal cannabis.

The 10th amendment gives State's rights over Federal laws, which are, and were intended to be very limited.

nope. supremacy clause.

Oof, talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Potentially disasterous move by Mr Corry. From what I gather he is a true libertarian. Like most libertarians he is to be admired for logical consistency, and loathed for his naivete. If successful, both the regulatory scheme for MMJ and A64 would be dismantled. This invites a judge to throw out those amendments in their entirety if the regulatory schemes envisioned by those amendments is found to be inseperable from the rest of the amendment. Even if that does not happen, dismantling the regulatory framework would basically force the feds hand, since there is no way to detect if legalization meets the criteria of the DOJ memo allowing legalization to continue. Maybe this forces the Fed to reschedule weed, maybe it leads to a crackdown on all legalization. Either way, huge gamble to be taking. All because Mr. Corry hates taxes and regulation. sigh

This has been Corry's M.O. from the get go. Not the first suit of this sort & won't be the last. All under the libertarian dream that they'll just let us go back to 2008/9 before HB1284 regulated MMJ.

They will not. They just will not. And why risk making it worse? I agree w him in that my outlook for legal cannabis is the same overtaxed bureaucratic nightmare that the 3 tier booze system enjoys but I am more willing to accept that it's the American way. They tax us for our "fun" in hopes that it will eventually fund enough evangelism and commercials to convert us all. And it still hasn't happened. And most of them just line their own pockets and rant on the cause enough to keep things relatively 50/50 because they all make more when it seems like it's tight but just about to shift.

Seems easiest to just keep a low profile & let the rats run their race & try not to get shot by a cop along the way. Rob Corry can have his day in court, I guess, but I hope it doesn't take food off of my table if he fucks shit up.
