FEDS TO BOULDER DA: KEEPING MARIJUANA AWAY FROM SCHOOLS A 'CORE RESPONSIBILITY'
Enforcing federal law to keep medical marijuana dispensaries away
from schools is a "core responsibility" of federal prosecutors -- and
it will continue, U.S. Attorney John Walsh wrote in a letter to
Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett.
The letter, released Wednesday, comes in response to a letter Garnett
sent Walsh last week in which he said dispensaries that otherwise
comply with state and local law should not be targeted for federal
enforcement. Garnett said federal resources should be reserved for
large-scale drug trafficking, terrorism and organized crime, and
local regulations were working well to control the industry.
The U.S. Attorney's Office has been sending letters to Colorado
dispensaries located within 1,000 feet of schools that order the
businesses to either move or close. Boulder ordinance says
dispensaries cannot be within 500 feet of a school.
