Early voting underway for local marijuana initiatives get out and vote!
Early voting has begun in Colorado, providing an exciting opportunity for Telluride and Denver voters to raise their voices for marijuana policy reform before Election Day. Telluride will vote on Question 200, a proposed ordinance that would make marijuana offenses the lowest law enforcement priority and instruct the town to tax and regulate marijuana once permitted by state law. And Denver will decide on Initiated Question 100 the Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative which would remove criminal penalties for adult possession of up to one ounce of marijuana.
If you're a Denver or Telluride voter, please read on for information about where and when you can vote.

Thats cool I read on article on yahoo the other day saying weed has nothing to do with cancer, and also maybe even helps kill cancer cells.
I don't wanna burst your bubble but even if that passes the goverment will overule, or pass some new law in a day that takes it down. Will be a nice step towards legalizing it though. It's going to be the science community that does this. Smart ass phd's that get stoned working on ways to prove pot is safe. If they keep it up they will have to legalize it eventually in some form(medicinal or not)

This is really awsome. It seems like legal reform is pushing on for MJ legalization in some states. Texas will probaly be last, but I will hopefully be moved away after college. There is nothing like smoking outside with friends just chilling. It is better then alcohol in that sence. I like both though D.

Actually no CO is one of the states that has already decriminilized sp? MJ and has medicianl MJ laws so I doubt that they could pass anything that would stop this specially since in Denver the fine is just $100 and the new law would just eliminate that and make it so the cops wouldn't bother you. Of course this would conflict with federal law but so do the laws that are already on the book 8)
I say no to micheal jackson
