Nationally-Syndicated Rocky Mountain News Columnist Paul Campos features the “persecution” of Jack Branson, Adams County medical marijuana patient, “a harmless, desperately ill man, who doesn’t appear to have committed a crime in even the most technical sense, and who might well die in prison if he’s sent there.”

On a 9 to 2 vote, the Colorado House Judiciary Committee voted to approve the Record Sealing Bill. Voting in favor of this bill were Terrence Carroll – D, Morgan Carroll- D, Mike Cerbo- D, Andy Kerr- D, Steve King – R, Claire Levy- D, Rosemary Marshall- D, Debbie Stafford – R, Amy Stephens- R. Voting against the bill were Bob Gardner - R and Ellen Roberts – R.

In Colorado, state law currently does not allow an adult to seal a criminal record.

This ensures that people convicted of a crime, no matter how long ago and no matter

how successful they are in life, will forever be stigmatized and possibly discriminated

against in housing and employment due to their criminal record.

The Supreme Court, with its new chief justice joining the majority, made clear Monday that juries, not judges, must determine facts that justify harsher prison sentences

Colorado is one of 10 states that allows people with certain medical conditions to use and grow marijuana with a doctor’s approval.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people who use marijuana legally for medical purposes can still be prosecuted under federal drug laws. The ruling did not, however, overturn state laws. This was the first time in Colorado since the June ruling that police have returned confiscated medical marijuana to a person.

This marks the first occasion in Colorado since the June U.S. Supreme Court decision on medical marijuana where police have returned marijuana to a person from whom it was seized.

“Recent Trends Involving the Law of Arrest, Search, and Seizure In Colorado”

Attorney Rob Corry, who supports the measure and attended the news conference, denounced laws making possession of less than an ounce of pot a crime. “It’s pointless. It’s a waste of money,” said Corry, a defense attorney. “And most cops and prosecutors - off the record - would agree.”

Somehow, the act of growing medicine in your own home, using it in your own home, never selling it, and never even taking it out of your own home, much less the State of Colorado, became “commerce among the several states.”
