Show Notes

When Colorado voted to legalize marijuana, did they also mean to legalize high potency THC products that acts more like methamphetamine than marijuana? Listen to Dawn Reinfeld the woman behind Colorado cannabis reform legislation adding consumer protection from the new engineered products. Dawn Reinfeld Dawn Reinfeld is the co-founder and Executive Director of Blue Rising and Blue Rising Together. Having grown up in New York, Dawn has lived in Colorado for thirty years. She is an artist by trade and became active in Democratic politics after the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Dawn spent years advocating for gun safety legislation, developing skills in strategy, outreach and organizing. Her interest and commitment to issues surrounding the harms of high potency THC are a direct result of raising two teenagers in Boulder, Colorado and seeing first-hand the harms that this drug was causing for our youth. Through her role at Blue Rising Together, Dawn has spent the past two years advocating for and crafting legislation to address the loopholes in Colorado’s framework of cannabis regulations. These efforts ultimately resulted in the passage of HB21-1317, which the Denver Post called, “the most sweeping regulatory bill for the cannabis industry since legalization.”
