Colorado’s largest labor union announced yesterday that hundreds of workers from the medical marijuana industry are to be bolstering its ranks. The Centennial State’s chapter of the UFCW boasts 25,000 members, and the total of jobs in the MMJ industry is near 8,000.
Steve Ackerman of the Organic Alternatives dispensary in Fort Collins and Kim Cordova of United Food and Commercial Workers both shared their approval at the tryst of the two entities. “We are the retail food, pharmacy, agriculture, food processing, and healthcare Union in Colorado and around the nation,” Cordova said in the announcement.
Also announced was a press conference at which the UFCW will elaborate more on the medical marijuana workers joining the union and the conditions surrounding the ordeal.

NORML’s Freedom Card is a small, two sided pamphlet (I wouldn’t even call it that) which details your rights, and lets authority figures know that you understand your rights, in case of involvement with law enforcement personnel. Print the NORML Freedom Card document out on cardstock (front and back) then trim and fold between the opposing text. You can even print out the version with four cards to a page, so you can hand some out to friends and conserve paper at the same time!
NORML Freedom Card Text
Side 1
The U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from interfering with your right to remain silent, to consult with an attorney, and to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement. However, it is up to you to assert these rights. This NORML Foundation Freedom Card will help you do so effectively.
If you are confronted by a police officer, remain calm. Be courteous and provide your identification. Politely refuse to answer any further questions. Ask to talk to an attorney. Do not consent to any search of your person, your property, your residence or your vehicle. Tell the officer you would like to give him or her this card, which is a statement of the constitutional rights you wish to invoke. Do not reach for this card until you have obtained the officer’s permission to do so.
Side 2
I hereby invoke and refuse to waive all of the following rights and privileges afforded to me by the U.S. Constitution:
- I invoke and refuse to waive my Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Do not ask me any questions.
- I invoke and refuse to waive my Sixth Amendment right to an attorney of my choice. Do not ask me any questions without my attorney present.
- I invoke and refuse to waive all privileges and rights pursuant to the case Miranda v. Arizona. Do not ask me any questions or make any comment to me about this decision.
- I invoke and refuse to waive my Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. I do not consent to any search or seizure of myself, my home, or of any property in my possession. Do not ask me about my ownership interest in any property. I do not consent to this contact with you. If I am not presently under arrest or under investigatory detention, please allow me to leave.
- Any statement I make, or alleged consent I give, in response to your questions is hereby made under protest and under duress and in submission to your claim of lawful authority to force me to provide you with information.

If you were a medical card-holder in the San Francisco area during the San Francisco Giants’ first game against the Texas Rangers in the 2010 World Series, you were amiss to not be at the ReLeaf Herbal Center. ReLeaf was showing support for their home team by giving away free joints every time the Giants hit a homerun; they also are sporting the team color in their product with medicated orange punch!
So, if you’re a local or you’re in town during one of the World Series games, they’ve already confirmed on their Facebook that they’ll still be showing their support with the giveaway during game two!
