DENVER (AP) — Medical marijuana advocates want to let Colorado lawmakers know what they think about proposals to regulate or limit the booming pot industry.

They plan to rally on the Capitol's West Steps at 11:30 a.m. Thursday — just as Gov. Bill Ritter should be wrapping up his annual State of the State speech inside the building.

Lawmakers are considering legislation to prevent dispensaries from paying doctors who determine who can become legal medical users of marijuana in Colorado.

Another proposal could limit the number of people a medical marijuana caregiver can supply. Attorney General John Suthers supports that approach.
