Colorado Bill That Would Have Muzzled Social Media Speech On State-Legal Psychedelics And Other Drugs Is Dead For The Year

R Street Institute Fellow Shoshana Weissmann, who first called out the potential problems in the bill’s drug-related language and last month described the amended version as “asinine” for forbidding statements around even some over-the-counter medications, said she was pleased to see the concerns addressed.

“I’m sincerely grateful to the sponsors for taking criticism of their efforts so seriously,” Weissmann told Marijuana Moment. “That takes a great deal of humility and it’s pretty rare to see. If they are still interested in pursuing their ideas in the future, I hope they reach out to critics to workshop their ideas.”
