Colorado.. Marijuana..
    #5947433 - 08/09/06 01:32 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Why the hell hasn't this been posted yet? I apologize if its already been posted, but I didnt see it.

No wonder nothing ever gets done. In a huge drug forum like this, and no one mentions it. Seems like one of the more important events to happen in the anti-prohibition movement that I can remember.

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/9638818/detail.html

DENVER -- Voters could be deciding on whether to legalize marijuana statewide this fall.

Members of the group Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation dropped off 129,000 signatures at the Secretary of State's office Monday morning. The signatures of 68,000 registered Colorado voters have to be verified before the measure can be placed on the ballot.

"The fact that we collected nearly twice as many signatures as are required under statute highlights the widespread support for ending the madness of marijuana prohibition in Colorado," said SAFER Campaign Director Mason Tvert.


The measure, if approved by voters, would make possession of one ounce of marijuana legal in Colorado for those 21 or older.

Federal law > state law > city law

It doesn't matter what they do in regards to marijuana laws, the city and state cops will still be arresting people for pot under federal law. Though it is a huge step in the right direction and if it caught on throughout the country that would be wonderful. However, I feel the DEA and their supporters have a stranglehold on this issue and any hope of decriminalization will be squashed in washington unfortunately.

I am also positive that the denver city legalization has been posted on this site before. But this is the first time I've heard about the state doing it, good news indeed!

Exactly, the passing of this initiative will be good. What will city and state cops think about having to enforce a federal law knowing that their state has voted on and passed this thing?

With a bit of luck, this stuff will spread to nearby states quickly like these smoking bans have been.

Shit man, I cant believe my state is cracking down so hard on smoking. It being a conservative hellhole and all.
I remember a time in my young life that you could smoke in hospitals and fast food places. Now there are totally smokefree workplaces where you cant even smoke outside, in the parking lots or anything. I think its only a matter of time before you cant smoke in bars now.

That all started when the blue state next door put their smoking ban into effect, then a year later we followed them.
Same with the laws that allow local governments to push back the time that bars are allowed to be open in the states. The nextdoor state allowed it, then a year later we allowed it.

So yeah, I think any intitiative like this is exciting.

That will think the money they get from confiscation under the federal law will make it well worth enforcing. Hopefully it will at least lesson the focus on it some.

never mind.

the fact that so many state are trying, and generally succeeding is wonderful.

we can only hope for two things:

that we have the freedom to vote (i.e. they don't rig the vote using diebold machines, or what have you). and if we don't that requires immediate revolution, which should go without saying...

and that people have enough common sense to vote for what is right.

alcohol and marijuana should switch legal places if you ask me. not that i'd ban liquor, but I'd gladly trade it for all the social harm it does, and for how much marijuana has the capacity to heal and bring peace.

Ive always, been under the thinking that if its not in the constitution it shouldnt be a fedaeral law. It would be nice if it were left to the states. Ppl could move to state which dont have it legalized if there state adopts it. I think drinking cokes on a constant basis is more harmfull to your body than weed(it deffinently is for me ve gotten already 2 kidney stones at the age of 19 and I didnt binge drink them it was just a couple everyday. Weed is probably the mildest high of anysort I induldge in
