Colorado's new drug policy....

The new ballot might win on personal possession of MJ(marijuana for you lame dickheads). If it passes it means legalization of up to an ounce of the magical shit for personal use...

And Colorado will still be in the United States of America.
And by order of the Supreme Court, Federal Law supersedes State Law.
Therefore, you will still be arrested. You'll just get a federal charge instead of a local one, which almost invariably carries a harsher sentence.

Well I never deemed Colorado a good place to live until this was placed on the ballot. Never had a reason to vote until now. The current pols say this will undoubtedly pass...

I wish the federal government luck when trying to place a federal charge on a person carrying an eighth. The amount of time and money required to charge people with a federal crime.... not possible.

Yea its much harder for the federal government to go after all the small time users in colorado. We haven't heard of an increase of these sort of arrrests in Denver. So I doubt they will increase if this passes

Yet so many medical marijauna card holders are never arrested thanks to the state laws. Though federal law is the ruler of laws, the change of state laws is one step closer to the changing of federal laws, and also increases tolerance.

Good things the feds don't patrol streets or break up parties . Sure, they'll bust you if you are manufacturing large quantities but they aren't going to waste time and effort on every Tom, Dick, and (mary)Jane with a zip or less.

You guys are getting ahead of yourselves.... the issue hasn't even qualified for the ballot yet.... they still have to verify all the signatures and all that jazz But they did collect 139,000 and only needed 62,000 so hopefully at least some legit potheads signed up and didn't do it multiple times...

the whole thing about that...it's rather ridiculous. if they're saying "it's OK if you have a little bit," where do they think you're getting it from? you're either growing it or buying it from someone who grows etc. so it's ok for you to have a little bit, and it's ok for you to buy it from guys who have a lot, but it's not ok for them to have more than an ounce? they really just need to do an all or nothing type thing, because at this rate it'll have to happen eventually. they're just doing this a really slow and assbackwards way.

It will be legal to posses up to an ounce. At the STATE level. Growing and distribution and smoking it in public will still be illegal. But still though.... 
I'll be voting for it too, like I did for the county one.

Its better that they take it at a slow pace, then no pace at all. Each step takes us closer to ...........

I'd rather have an ounce of pot in a baggie on my livingroom table that no one can do anything about legality-wise, than nothing at all.
All or nothing is a bullshit statement. I'm not flaming you personally, at all. Just your statement.

yes this is great news. Baby steps.
Coloradans say "fuck yeah!"
Fuck Yeah!
Nevada will actually be the place to be according to MPP if their initiative passes. In novemebr Nevada voters will be able to vote on an (already on the ballot) ballot initiative that will completely remove state regulartion of MJ. "MPP's ballot initiative in Nevada to end marijuana prohibition entirely, which Nevadans will be voting on this November."
Also, Please donate a few bucks to MPP. It is the time to do it with the matching dollars! What do you think? Is it Woody? Marijuana Policy Project Alert July 18, 2006 Philanthropist pledges $3.5 million matching grant to MPP! Dear mntlfngrs:
The Marijuana Policy Project has received a commitment from a major philanthropist to match the first $3.5 million we can raise from the rest of the planet.
This is a huge opportunity for MPP and all of us who are working to end marijuana prohibition. If we succeed at securing $3.5 million + $3.5 million = $7.0 million in revenues this year, all of the projects mentioned below will be fully funded this year ... and into next year.
Would you please help make this financial windfall a reality by making your own contribution today?
The matching funding comes in two stages. The first $2.3 million that you and other MPP allies donate will be matched by $2.3 million from the philanthropist. Then, if we can raise an additional $1.2 million from you and other allies, the philanthropist will again match that with $1.2 million of his own.
We've already raised $2,026,479 this year. If each of the 101,000 subscribers on this e-mail list were to donate just $5 each, we would immediately jump over the $2.3 million hurdle.
But not everyone on this e-mail list will donate $5 — or even read this e-mail message — so please consider donating $10, $50, $250 (you'll receive a DVD of MPP's TV debates and other highlights), or $1,000 (you'll become a Lifetime Member of MPP).
Does money really make a difference? In a word, "Yes." Please consider these two thoughts:
- Because 78% of the American people already support allowing patients to use marijuana "to reduce pain and suffering," according to the latest Gallup poll, the only thing that's preventing us from making medical marijuana legal in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, and all 50 states is our ability to hire lobbyists and/or to put medical marijuana initiatives on the ballot.
- Because 36% of the American people say "the use of marijuana should be made legal," according to Gallup, we need to continue dedicating resources to educating the public on the harms of marijuana prohibition ... until a majority of voters agree.
In short, money is one of the most critical factors that will determine how quickly we — which includes you — can end marijuana prohibition.
It's not the academic commitment of the people who agree with MPP ... or the righteousness of our cause ... or our willpower, or our intelligence. These elements are all important, but it's money that translates good ideas into good laws.
If you're able to help us reach the $3.5 million milestone — preferably by October 1, so that we can actually use the money to pass key ballot initiatives this November 7 — we'll be able to fully fund the following:
- MPP's ballot initiative in Nevada to end marijuana prohibition entirely, which Nevadans will be voting on this November.
- The ad campaign we recently launched on Jim Hightower's national radio show.
- Local ballot initiatives to make adult marijuana offenses the lowest law enforcement priority for local police in Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica, Missoula County (Montana), and Portland (Oregon) ... which all five communities are voting on this November.
- The medical marijuana initiative in South Dakota that — if passed by a majority of the voters this November — would make South Dakota the 12th medical marijuana state ... and the first medical marijuana state in the midwest.
- Public opinion polling to help us determine where to run similar statewide medical marijuana initiatives in 2007 and 2008.
Will you please help achieve what you believe in by voting with your dollars today? MPP is doing everything it can to end the government's war on marijuana users, but we need the financial means to achieve the goal.
I want to thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Financial support from supporters like you is literally the only thing that makes our work possible.
Sincerely,
Rob Kampia Executive Director Marijuana Policy Project Washington, D.C.
it is happening man and funding the people who are doing the work is how it is getting done.
-------------------- Be all and you'll be to end all
