Colorado to Put Marijuana Question to the Voters

from KMGH Denver TV 7

Voters could be deciding on whether to legalize marijuana in Colorado this fall. Members of the group Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation dropped off 129,000 signatures at the Colorado Secretary of State's office Monday morning. The signatures of 68,000 registered Colorado voters have to be verified before the measure can be placed on the ballot.

The measure, if approved by voters, would make possession of one ounce of marijuana legal in Colorado for those 21 or older. The statewide proposal would get rid of the state's prohibition of marijuana and allow cities to make the rules about pot use.
