Colorado Voters Will Likely Decide Whether To Legalize Pot Statewide

This is so dumb, what a waste of money. Why waste money attacking a problem that cannot be solved at the state level whatsoever. Why not focus $$$ on federal lobby groups? Drug regulation is a federal issue, and as such can only be changed on a federal level.

But hey, in a country that could currently care less for secular, sensible, scientific policies, nothing is going nowhere.

Tenth ammendment says it's a states' issue. Fuck Wickard-v-Filburn and the tortured logic that stretches credulity saying otherwise!

One state at a time, or get Cannabis re/de-scheduled in the Controlled Substances Act. Legalize it, which ever way, but let's get it DONE!

well, we have people in congress introducing federal amendments, like hinchey-rohrbacher for example, but state initiatives are still extremely important. CA passed our state medical mj law in 1996, and now 10 other states have similar laws on their books, with several others working their laws through their legislatures.

one brick at a time my friend. we can work on the feds while passing state initiatives. the difference is state initiatives are voted on by the people. federal amendments are voted on by congress. when state initiatives are passed, it means the voters (constituents) wanted it. this is very significant. the feds will be forced to reschedule MJ when states start passing decrim bills..
