DENVER (AP) -- Colorado's medical marijuana industry has a divided response to a statement from the state's top lawyer that the state needs to refine laws about marijuana.
Attorney General John Suthers said in a statement Monday that the state legislature needs to regulate the nascent marijuana industry. The statement comes after federal authorities say they won't pursue legal action against medical marijuana sellers in states where the product is legal.
Suthers says that Colorado needs to do a better job regulating marijuana sellers in the absence of federal guidelines. The marijuana industry is divided. Some applaud the move and say lawmakers need to establish standard rules across the state for marijuana. But others say the state shouldn't step in.
