Press releases don’t typically stir passions. But cannabis activist Wanda James was incensed after receiving a missive from Mayor Michael Hancock (see it below) in which he thanked the Denver City Council for passing his $3.35 million marijuana budget proposal but offered no kudos to the pot industry that generated all that extra cash.
James says that’s nothing new. In her view, the way Hancock and Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper have treated the cannabis industry to date is “beyond insulting.” Denver Westword has more.
