Well, I'm using my first post on this. I think it's worthy.

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.

Denver/CO is a great place to live. I've got all the great sport teams, worlds best skiing (arguably) within an hour and a half of Denver...Music scene blows, but other than that you can have a good job and it's still relativley cheap to live here.

I thought so too, but it seems its much more common than I ever imagined. Sadly, not much is done about it and it doesn't even seem to be a big deal to anyone. By the way, you're 1 post short of 3000!

I don't understand.
Isn't 25.00 too much for something that should be totally legal? I'd hate to have to pay a fine everytime someone catches me drinking a beer or smoking a cigarette, even a small fine.
The part that seems a little odd is that it only covers posessing up to 1 oz. There's nothing that changes the law about cultivation. That seems really silly to me since it will do nothing but benefit commercial growers/dealers since someone has to supply the people with their 1 oz. In order for the law to make sense, it would have to legalize cultivation in some form as well. But hopefully this thing will lead to more, better laws. Maybe it will eventually encourage other states to loosen up their laws a bit too. A lot of them are a little harsher than Colorado.
Interesting point. It seems to make it ok to have, but illegal or impossible to grow/sell.

It sorta makes you ill.
Had she been in either of those states, she'd be out 100$, had her weed and pipe taken, and nothing more.
I dunno, just seems to me that if that deal in Colorado passes, things will get better all over the country. And yeah, it does sort of make me wonder what the Feds will do. It would be interesting.
1) If it was to get legalized and the only legal supply was to be through the government and growing (for personal consumption) was made illegal, I would rather see the law stay as it is....
Or
2) If it is legalized it can be government supplied (therefore taxed)...but production should be handled the same as home beer making...as long as it is for personal consumption you should be okay to do that.....
Or
3) Goto decriminalization and remove mandatory sentences/prison terms in placement of small appropriate fines (that do not appear on your record)...for under an ounce.....
The federal govt. is at the highest position on being completely ignorant and misinformed about drug use.

I lived in Victoria for a while and it's no slouch either. I remember each year a lot of people gather on the lawn infront of the parliament buildings to smoke weed and protest the laws. Any given day you can go down to the cosway and a lot of people will be down there smoking weed. I remember on New Years night there were 100s of people down there drinking and smoking weed, the police were powerless to stop it.
Ft. Collins is allright, the weather is great and much better than the midwest(I'm originally from Iowa). However, it's somewhat conservative here, although not as bad as the Springs. I moved here from Portland, ME. and would much rather be out there by the ocean. Unfortunately, family is a big thing for my wife and she did not like being half way across the country. Anyway, like I said ft. collins is allright.
