Denver City Council Approves Marijuana Ballot Initiative

Thu, Apr 9 2009 by Staff

The battle whether or not to legalize marijuana has gotten a lot more attention in recent weeks. With the drug cartel wars on the Mexican border and the large number of politically activist supporters of the drug, it appears the discussion has reached a fever pitch.

In Denver voters organized, signed petitions and placed the initiative on the ballot. Now voters will be deciding whether police should treat possession of small amounts of marijuana as the lowest priority crime.
