A group of lawmakers wants to increase oversight of Colorado marijuana businesses, but the marijuana industry is ready to fight the proposal.

, the state's regulator of marijuana businesses, to "balance the amount of influence that the marijuana industry has" on pot-related policy and rulemaking.

"It doesn't change regulation. It's about making sure the MED has the resources they need to do these checks," Hansen says."It's the availability and accessibility [of violation information], and putting it on par with what we're doing in tobacco and alcohol." According to the MED, there are slightly over 1,000 stores licensed for marijuana sales in Colorado, although not all of them are currently operating.

“As written, the bill would do nothing to increase accountability in terms of access for children. The fact is this: Fewer kids are using cannabis in Colorado since legalization. Responsible messaging works," Marcus says."You can’t in one breath say your goal is to keep marijuana out of the hands of kids, and then write a bill that literally requires that kids be used as pawns in sting operations.

it's already 'oversighted' to oblivion. i would like this level of 'oversight' applied to all alcohol brewing, manufacturing, bottling, distribution and selling. all taxes, fees, and licenses for alcohol to match pot. i would also like special 'oversight' for sports betting.
