Lately, there have been a lot of people in Boulder getting people to sign a petition to put legalization on the ballot in November. Today, I asked a petition guy what the petition was all about, how many people they needed, what would it do, etc. He said they had almost reached the number of signatures they needed to put it on the ballot! The law would legalize one ounce or less for possesion by adults 21 or older. Since Boulder is such a liberal community, I am sure that more than half of the citizens would vote for this. So, it looks like it is going to be legalized here!! I know the federal bigwigs can still prosecute you... whatever, this is going to be a huge symbolic victory! Two cities in Colorado (a red state!) will have shown their ideas about legaliztion. Maybe that will provoke some action higher up. I am keepin my fingers crossed.
I came to boulder to visit one of my friends who goes there around 420. It's basically legal already anyway. Everyone was smoking everywhere and cops didn't care at all. It was like the most liberal place I've ever been to...
Haha i wouldnt say it is that extreme. Theres lots of old rich christian republican families around here that make sure no one smokes outside (with the exception of 420 ) but things are looking up for us!
w00t I talked to the guy today, and he said they got all the signatures they need to put it on the ballot! legalization, here we come!
Dude, you've gotta be joking... either that or you need to travel more... boulder is liberal as fuck! you want to see conservative get your ass out east somewhere haha
Yeah i know its way liberal. Trust me, my cousins live in texas, and i have spent a whole summer there! I dont know how u people deal with them.
AWESOME! hopefully this trend will continue and maybe within the next 5/10 years we will have full legalization!
Legalization bothers me if it means corporate control over growing. Thus leading to substance / radiation filled packs of marijuana cigarettes.
Kparker, those are the Safer folks who passed the Denver law last November (and who LOST in Telluride...Telluride?!?!?) It's a statewide ballot initiative. So, Coloradans, register and VOTE
Yeah i just realized its STATEWIDE! wow this is awesome! Lots of republicans in our state though, we are a red state. With Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs (maybe?) and Fort Collins we should have a lot of people for it. Colorado Springs has all those focus on the family freaks though
Ppl who are afraid of legalization are stupid. I mean sure decriminilization would be cooler but even if the gov. did have packs of joints that had chemiacals in them but you could still grow your own.
