SAFER thanks Weissman
I know one group that is pretty psyched about Louisville Democratic State House Representative Paul Weissman's successful (and then not successful) attempt to change Colorado's marijuana laws. I got an email from SAFER that states:
"Yesterday, the Colorado House of Representatives passed a measure designed to protect the citizens of Denver - who passed a law making the possession of marijuana legal in the city - from prosecution for marijuana possession under state law. This is the first time in U.S. history that a state legislative body has voted to remove state penalties for recreational marijuana use! Unfortunately, the victory was short-lived, as the provision was later removed from the bill. SAFER would like to thank Rep. Paul Weissman (D-Louisville) for proposing the original amendment, and we encourage you to thank him, too... Here is the e-mail address he has posted on his Web site: reppaul@aol.com."
