PASSAGE OF MARIJUANA LAW IN DENVER

I couldn't agree more with Attorney General John Suthers when he said,
"I understand the debate about legalization and whether our drug laws
are constructive. But I wish we would have a full-out debate instead
of these peripheral issues that accomplish just about nothing."

We need that "full-out debate" because marijuana is truly safe to
legalize. Decades of misinformation have done a number on us all, and
it's time we look for ways to correct our shameful laws - laws that do
nothing but force decent citizens to enrich the crooked justice
system. Good for Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation for
bringing this matter to the nation's attention. The sooner we get to
the truth about marijuana, the better.
