Colorado’s Regulatory Recipe for Retail Marijuana: First of Six Essential Ingredients
Part of the legislative mandate surrounding the implementation of Amendment 64, at the behest of the Implementation Task Force, was to use a state-of-the-art “inventory control and tracking” system. In response, the Colorado Department of Revenue promulgated Rule R 309, outlining the new system, formally called Marijuana Inventory Tracking Solution (MITS) and often referred to as the seed-to-sale tracking system.
MITS is a web-based system, developed by Franwell, Inc. (now named Metrc) that interfaces with a system of plant-based tags that rely on a radio frequency identification system. Every plant in the market must be individually tagged and tracked as it moves through the commercial growth and distribution chain.
“The system is widely considered one of the most advanced in the marijuana industry and is used to track product, limit diversion, improve regulatory compliance, and discourage improper market behavior.” Brookings Institute Report
“The MITS system helps the state in a multitude of ways. The system offers the state the ability to track product in ways that far surpass product tracking in most other commodity markets in the U.S.” Brookings Institute Report
“The MITS system also allows the state to collect and analyze data that help improve and streamline enforcement efforts and compliance investigations.” Brookings Institute Report
“In many ways, the MITS system is the backbone of Colorado’s regulatory structure governing legalized marijuana. If effective, it helps businesses and regulators guard against shady practices, while helping keep at bay a federal government that is closely watching enforcement and compliance.” Brookings Institute Report.

Georgetown University and Urban Institute Researchers Release State-by-State Analysis on How the Affordable Care Act Will Create Opportunities for More Entrepreneurs
Washington, D.C (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
A team of nationally recognized researchers estimate that the number of self-employed entrepreneurs will be 1.5 million higher in 2014 because of the new health insurance options created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored report was coauthored by Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms and the Urban Institute.
“Far too many people have had their dream of launching their own business delayed or denied because they couldn’t afford to give up the security of good health insurance,” said Sabrina Corlette, co-author of the report and director of the Georgetown University Center on Health Insurance Reforms. “That’s all about to change when the Affordable Care Act starts offering high-quality health insurance options that aren’t tied to employment.”
The researchers found the impact of the ACA on entrepreneurship will vary state by state, depending on the insurance market reforms states may already have in place. For example, they estimate an increase of 124,000 newly self-employed in Texas, 72,000 in Florida, 67,000 in Ohio and 60,000 in Pennsylvania because the ACA’s reforms will improve individual’s access to high quality health insurance that isn’t tied to their jobs. Massachusetts, however, will see no measurable change because many of the ACA’s reforms are already in place.
Provisions of the new health law that may encourage more people to start their own business include:
No applicant can be turned down because of a preexisting condition.
Individuals cannot be charged higher premiums because of their health status.
Insurers must offer plans with a comprehensive set of essential health benefits.
Tax credits to help low- or moderate- individuals and families will reduce premium costs.
Medicaid expansion, in some states, will provide coverage for those with the lowest incomes.
The research was funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and published by the Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) and the Urban Institute. CHIR is composed of a team of nationally recognized experts on private health insurance and health reform. For more on the center’s work, please see our website and blog.
