BRECKENRIDGE — Breckenridge residents voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana and paraphernalia under town law. Unofficial results show 71 percent of voters approved the initiative.
"We're done with the days people could laugh off marijuana reform," said Sean McAllister, a Breckenridge attorney and chairman of reform group Sensible Breckenridge.
Tuesday's vote means that effective Jan. 1, people 21 and older in Breckenridge will be able to legally possess 1 ounce or less of the drug. Possession remains illegal under state law, but Breckenridge Police Chief Rick Holman said his department will "still have the ability to exercise discretion." Summit Daily News
The last few days even though it's November have been put the whole month of October to shame. Finally I guess it's an Indian summer. Thanks for stopping by and may the sun be shining where you are at!!
71% is a big number . . . talking of a big number . . .
ReplyDeleteCheers to Breckinridge, Colo. I learned to ski there 37 years ago. Then left to spend 2 weeks perfecting my style at Keystone. Colorado was the place in the 70's for Corndudes. I'm hoping Colorado regains the sanity that made it so amazing at one time. This vote gives me great comfort that it will.
ReplyDeleteHuh, you'd think it'd be the People's Republic of Boulder that would do that kinda shit, not Breckingridge. Weird. Anyhow, the whole point of outlawing a weed that grows in the wild pretty much all over the fucking place eludes me, it ain't like the prohibitionist assholes are ever gonna *really* eradicate the shit, it's a fucking weed for cryin' out loud!
ReplyDeleteYay!
