Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged 477
damaged_sectors writes "A map marking what are supposed to be secret locations of 60 warehouses and other buildings where medical marijuana is grown in Boulder has accidentally been made public by the city. Officials say an 'oversight' led them to publish the map on the city's Web site. Kathy Haddock, Boulder's senior assistant city attorney who advises the council on medical marijuana issues, said Thursday that the map would be removed from the city's Web site. No conspiracy here folks. In other news the council will decide at its Jan. 18 meeting whether Boulder should circumvent the open records act exemption for cultivation centers by requiring applicants for medical marijuana business licenses to waive their right to privacy. The council could force all growing centers to sign such a waiver as a condition of receiving a city-issued business license. While the risk this would make it easier for Federal authorities to raid grow-ops might not concern council members and others opposed to medical marijuana — I have to wonder what sort of mentality thinks exposing growers to the very real risk of armed robbery by criminals is justifiable."

Eh, at least it keeps you from any job more technically challenging than filling a fry bag...or emptying a Doritos bag.

"Medicine" doesn't come in "joints".
No, it comes in brownies and rice crispy treats.

Nor should their citizens need a license to grow a plant.
They absolutely should if it's prescription medicine.
I think you need a prescription for some high-grade woooosh!
