BILL ADVANCES ON POT CONCENTRATES

A House bill that would establish equivalences between marijuana that 
comes from plants and marijuana concentrates in retail products 
passed through committee Tuesday.

Another bill that deals with edible pot products also has been 
brought forward. Both measures come in the wake of deaths that have 
occurred after the ingestion of marijuana products.

"Every passing day, every passing news story tells us that we have to 
do something about both because the public's safety is being harmed," 
said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, the sponsor of the 
concentrates bill.

McNulty's bill would require the Colorado Department of Revenue to 
address how much marijuana concentrate can be sold by a licensed 
business. Current law limits sales of marijuana from plants to 1 
ounce, however it does not address how much concentrate can be sold.

"At least this will give us some level of equivalency with flower 
plants," said McNulty, who added the bill will cost about $100,000 to 
implement.

McNulty's bill will next be heard by the House Appropriations 
Committee. The edible marijuana bill is expected to go straight to 
the floor for debate.
