(Reuters) - Colorado's Attorney General on Tuesday said the state's landmark marijuana legalization law does not allow people to extract the drug's potent hash oil from plants in their home.
Attorney General John Suthers said Amendment 64, which was passed by voters in 2012 and legalized recreational marijuana for adults, "expressly prohibits" people from personally producing butane hash oil due in part to the threat it poses to the public."To decriminalize dangerous and unreasonable behavior in which people are getting hurt and houses are blowing up, defies the intent of the voters," Suthers said in a statement.
"Colorado is experiencing a real public safety issue as a result of unsafe and unlicensed manufacturing and production," he added.
