Marijuana Officially Legal in Colorado




Marijuana Officially Legal in Colorado with Stroke of Governor's Pen by Ashley Killough

Today the recreational use of marijuana officially became legal in Colorado. It has been a little over a month since voters passed Amendment 64 in favor of the measure. Although it will take some time for regulations and measures to be written and enforced it is another step in the right direction for marijuana activists. The people have spoken and the states are following through with the implementation of these measures. The federal government has yet to respond and it will be interesting to see how and if they do. Obama could continue to enforce the federal law and put a halt to the legalization movement, but then he would be going against the voice of the people who secured him another four years in The Oval Office. How will he and the federal government react? In my opinion, Colorado and Washington should be treated as experiment states for implementing marijuana legalization. If we can make it work and it benefits the states and nation as a whole then why not? I don't see legalization doing any more harm than prohibition does currently. Regardless, stay tuned and stay medicated!
