Chris Romer says he's backing off MMJ regulations

Late Saturday State Senator Chris Romer says in a letter written to Huffington Post, after months of trying he will back off in his attempts to regulate Colorado's fast growing medical marijuana industry. Kind of. He plans on ditching his initial 64 page bill and instead he will be sponsoring two separate bills. The first bill he will sponsor will be in the Colorado Senate, dealing solely with the need for a meaningful doctor patient relationship to get a medical marijuana referral and the creation of a 24-hour per day registry for patients. The second bill dealing with dispensaries and growing operations will start in the House and most likely will be very similar to the Sheriff Association's proposed legislation, including a five patient cap per caregiver.
