Denver just voted in favor(about 54% for) to decriminalize the possession of an ounce of the stuff for folks over 21.

Is this just gunna get spun off as "oh, they're just gunna get HIIIIIGH" or something like "Now the cops don't have to worry about this shit..."?

I think they said "marijuana" but meant "meth labs".

In the late 1970s the USA was warming up to the idea of decriminalizing marijuana. Then Reagan was elected and the crackdown came. It just means Americans are slowly come back to their senses.

And as the population ages, more people that have smoked marijuana and not lost their minds have come into positions of power.

As well as some who have lost their minds.

Thinking of anyone in particular?

It seems to me there was once, in the corridors of power, a Man Called Newt.

MILE HIGH CITY!!! IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE GET IT, LIKE?

giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

MORE LIKE THE DENVER BONG-COS, AM I RIGHT?

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

Wait, though, this is fascinating: the article claims they're actually "legalizing" small possession -- whereas most decriminalization campaigns are more about reducing enforcement to like light ticketing or seizure, bring pot-enforcement and penalties down below the level of actually-more-dangerous stuff like, say, running red lights.

Weird. On the other hand, not weird: this kind of approach is already kinda the de facto system in Boulder!

nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 3 November 2005 19:17 (nineteen years ago)

And really, isn't the idea behind light-enforcement decriminalization that you can't buck the federal government and "legalize" and Schedule I drug? I'm kinda scared that this is another instance of shitty Colorado amendment-writing -- putting all this effort into getting voters to approve a law that couldn't possibly withstand constitutional challenge. Changes in enforcement can probably be gotten away with; so far as I know there's nothing keeping localities from exercising their leeway in dictating penalties and sentences for this stuff.

nine months pass...

Maureen Dowd's column was ridiculous of course but I can report from Denver that they are not fucking around when it comes to the edibles. Jesus Christ.
