Denver Council Makes Move To Decriminalize Marijuana For Minors

Denver Council Makes Move To Decriminalize Marijuana For Minors

DENVER (CBS4) – The Denver City Council has made a move to try and make sure minors who are caught with pot aren’t punished too harshly.

A law voters passed last year decriminalized marijuana possession for adults but it didn’t consider the legal repercussions for a minor.

People under 21 with pot were left open to criminal charges that would stay on their permanent record.

Denver city councilors want it to become a civil charge still enforced by a petty fine but with no lasting legal consequences.

“We do not want this age group to be to have their legs cut off before they get started in life,” said City Council Member Albus Brooks.

Brooks sponsored the city’s newest marijuana regulation, calling it in the spirit of the new law.

The city council is also considering a law banning the marijuana industry businesses within 1,000 feet of a school.

It is the latest in a series of marijuana laws to go on the books before the new year when the legal sale of marijuana goes into effect.

“All of the priorities that we’ve had have taken a backseat because we are the first city in the world to put this regulatory framework the way we’re doing it,” said Brooks.

A final vote is expected to pass unanimously on Dec 23.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

The only thing about Chemistry I like is all the psychedelics that come from it.

The only reason I study Psychology is to have a legitimate excuse to enjoy Chemistry. :tongue2:

Woow, that I never expected to hear.

And they are right.

But damn. Honestly, I think those underage caught with it (particularly those under 18) should have to attend drug counseling of some sort.

There's a balance between legalizing drug use for adults, and protecting the growing brains (hopefully not sounding like a "think of the children" scare-monger here) of our youth.

Thing is, everyone knows it's exceedingly easy for teens to get, so the parents can't necessarily be to blame either. A fine punishes the parents, not the teens. What are they gonna pay with, allowance?

However, there needs to be something that deters them from using, at least until they are of-age.

A valid point. most of the under age tokers I know are very irresponsible and all smoke way too much for their own good. their whole lives revolve around it.
