Today's Weed News for June 7th 2018 #COLORADO
For today's weed news we go to the great state of Colorado.
In his ninth veto of the year, Governor John Hickenlooper of Colorado just rejected HB 1263 that aimed to make autism one of the qualifying conditions for medical cannabis in Colorado.
In a recent interview with the Denver Post Hickenlooper said "If we signed that bill we end up, without question, in some way encouraging more young people to look at this as an antidote for their problems."
The bill's primary sponsor Senator Steve Fenberg is publicly disagreeing with Hickenlooper and rejecting the idea that allowing autistic kids medical cannabis will lead to more children who don't have the disorder consuming cannabis.
During his own interview with the Denver Post, Senator Steve Fenberg said "It's not a justification to be able to smoke pot. It's genuinely about medicine to help people. And there's science behind it."
Because the legislative session has already ended, there is nothing that state lawmakers can do to override the governor's veto at this time. Hickenlooper did however order state health officials to study the matter and find out definitively if cannabis can be a effective and safe way to treat autism spectrum disorder.
Although I personally disagree with the governor's decision, I can see how he may want to have definitive proof before taking such a revolutionary stance. Let's see if he changes his mind once the matter has been studied by the state health officials.

Man ! I just discover your weed news, it's awesome ! You got a new fan 🤙
From France with love!
thanks! how is France doing as far as cannabis laws go? are there any changes on the horizon?
Cbd under 0,2% is now legal there is like only 2,3 shops open for the moment or online !
It's still illegal to smoke it !
The new gouvernement is not weed friendly at all!
Switzerland has CBD legal everywhere & I live on the boarder 👌
When I look at the Us it's crazy how far we are !
i feel like its gonna be legal all over in the next 5 years, switzerland, spain, portugal are already pretty cool about cannabis and once canada legalizes this year the usa will do the same federally shortly after. im sure France will take notice on jump on board at some point.
Hopefully Man !
It won't be legal with our president Macron, he still have 3 years to go & could be reelected for another 5 years maybe! So 10 years for us, I need to come visit the Us before that ! ^^
damn. i didnt know Macron was so behind the times
Ahah he's 45 or smtg but he thinks like a 70 years old rich guy! Pretty weird!
Anyway, it's not coming tomorow for us !
