The Breckenridge marijuana reform group, Sensible Breckenridge, turned in a petition Wednesday with almost three times the required number of signatures to place a measure on this November’s ballot. The measure, if passed, would remove local penalties for the private possession of up to one ounce of marijuana and paraphernalia by adults 21 and older. “There was overwhelming support for it,” said Breckenridge attorney and chairman of Sensible Breckenridge Sean McAllister.
