Kratom: Libertarian Party of Colorado Rips Denver Human Use Ban

Now, the Libertarian Party of Colorado is formally decrying the move, and the organization’s spokesperson reveals that it’s a very personal subject for her. After all, she’s a user of kratom who believes her life would be infinitely worse if she could no longer take it.

Denver 420 Rally: New Complaint Against City Giving Permit to Euflora

Attorney Rob Corry has now filed a second complaint in regard to the Denver 420 Rally. He’d previously sued the City and County of Denver on behalf of rally co-founder Miguel Lopez, who lost his priority event status and was banned from putting on the event during the next three years for allegedly violating his permit by leaving Civic Center Park trashed. Now, he wants injunctive relief on behalf of another client, Michael Ortiz, who was initially granted a permit for April 20 only to have his application denied by Allegra “Happy” Haynes, Denver’s Parks and Rec director, and given instead to Euflora, a dispensary chain with very different plans for the gathering.
