Eagle County Medical Marijuana
Eagle County including Vail, Colorado has been particularly unwelcoming to medical marijuana use and distribution, but a recent interview of Eagle County Sheriff’s candidates shows knowledge, understanding, and acceptance of medical marijuana in Eagle County Colorado. Eagle County Sheriff’s candidates on medical marijuana:
Joe Hoy: “Medical marijuana is the law of the land. My personal views — or those of my deputies — are not relevant to what the voters have approved. I do have concerns, which I have publicly stated, that the compassionate motivations that led to the legalization of medical marijuana dispensaries have created some unanticipated and negative consequences. However, my job as sheriff is to enforce the laws and guidelines set forth by the legislatures and that is exactly what I intend to do.”
Charles Wolf: “My concern with medical marijuana is the lack of accountability in the individuals who can open a dispensary and the current lack of regulations. If it is classified as medical marijuana then why isn’t it prescribed by typical medical doctors and given out by a pharmacist like other medical drugs? As a certified law enforcement officer for Eagle County, I uphold the medical marijuana law the same as every other law in the Colorado State Statutes.”
It would be better if law enforcement stayed out of medical marijuana accept to protect the individuals involved with its production, but if the Sheriff’s offices of Colorado are to be involved, hopefully it’s elected officials will have knowledge of the subject as in Eagle County, Colorado. The idea as expressed by Joe Hoy to not involve his personal views is one that many could accept and make marijuana safer for all who need and understand it’s use in Colorado. Just leave it alone, the voters already said it’s OK.
