A new Colorado bill is about to take effect that makes it legal to sell and consume marijuana, and it’s all thanks to a Colorado-based company called OREG.
It all started when Colorado voters legalized marijuana in 2012.
Colorado was the first state to fully legalize marijuana, but the state’s law has been challenged in court many times.
A federal judge ordered that Colorado’s legalization be reinstated in April, but it remains to be seen if the state can comply with the ruling.
The Colorado Supreme Court ordered the state to immediately comply with a federal court order to restore marijuana sales and distribution, but after the U.S. Department of Justice sent a cease and desist letter to the state, the governor of Colorado, John Hickenlooper, said the state could not comply with that order.
“We’ve had to come to terms with the fact that we’re not going to be able to comply with this federal injunction,” Hickencoopers attorney Michael Meehan told reporters last week.
Meehan said that the state would not comply even with a court order that allowed for sales and consumption.
“There’s no room in our state for the sort of people who would do these things that we’ve been trying to do,” he said.
Meesh said the company has been in talks with the state and has begun the process of acquiring a dispensary, a facility that would be used to sell marijuana.
He said the firm has secured the necessary approvals from the Colorado Health Department, which oversees marijuana.
Meely, the legal services attorney, said he believes that OREGs mission is to provide legal services to Colorado residents who are legally consuming marijuana.
“This is the first step in that process,” he told Engadgets.
“And I think that the courts will be looking at this to see if we are going to follow through with that.”
Meeh said that although OREg is looking for a dispensary and facility in Colorado, they are also looking for people to help in other states to do the same thing.
“I would not expect them to be limited to Colorado, but certainly if they have other locations in other jurisdictions, they would be welcome to come forward and apply,” he added.
In response to questions from EngadGET, Meeh told the news site that the firm is looking to hire a legal services director in New York, Colorado, and California, as well as people in other cities in order to expand.
He said that OLEG is also looking to bring a team of legal advisers to Colorado to help the state deal with legal problems related to marijuana.
Meehl added that the company is also seeking funding for a cannabis education program.
“The goal is to get legal assistance for the general population to help them navigate the process, which is why we’re asking for funding for the cannabis education component,” Meehm said.
“Legal assistance is going to play a major role in ensuring that this goes forward in a responsible way,” he continued.MEEH also said that in addition to hiring legal advisers, the firm would also be looking to assist the state in establishing a program to help people who want to start their own businesses.
