DESCRIPTION
The Drug Policy Task Force is a sub-committee of the Colorado Commission
on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ).
http://cdpsweb.state.co.us/cccjj/
The Marijuana Per Se Workgroup is a sub-committee of the Drug Policy
Task Force. The Marijuana Per Se Workgroup had been meeting privately
to discuss public policy on THC/DUI laws since June. They will present
their findings to the DPTF regarding setting a per se limit for
THC/DUI at this public meeting.
The Marijuana Per Se Workgroup will be reportedly be disbanded
after this meeting, hopefully resolving the need to try to make
them comply with the Open Meetings Laws.

WORK GROUP REPORT
The Marijuana Per Se Workgroup released a summary of the six previous
private meetings. The summary and areas of agreement were emailed
to CTI on Friday by attorney Sean McAllister, who is a member of
both the MJ Per Se Workgroup and the Drug Policy Task Force. We
apologize for the delay in posting this report, but CTI still feels
that the Workgroup should be
compliant with the Open Meetings Laws and we shouldn't have to post
their reports for them. Nonetheless, many thanks to Sean for sending
the summary report to us as soon as we requested it from him.

The Workgroup in the end did not get a consensus on whether a per
se nanogram limit for THC was appropriate or not. The witnesses
that testified to them had conflicting opinions on the science and
the research.
