Any Colorado members want to update us on how the Legalize Pot Bill is looking? (Amendment 64)....

[Logical]

Polling well? Media coverage?

1. Last I heard, 61% is polling strong...

in favor of legalization, but the anti-pot a*holes might just fuck this one up.

9. Wow I don't think my state WA is that strong at all

we have a bunch of medical pot places against it. Probably worried they will loose business. My husband has a card and we are voting yes.

Just checked our latest poll on June 19th has 50% for 37% against and 13% unsure….that was by PPP

12. Inslee coming out against it..

sure isn't going to help either..I don't think I-502 is going to pass..

[marlakay]

14. I don't think so either

and I also don't think he will win. I have only lived here 7 years and I have talked to some dems who don't like him and either won't vote or will for the other guy….I am scared about my state.

15. In Washington.....

I'm voting yes.


I live in the conservative eastern part of the state.

Most folks are full of FOX talking points and will certainly vote for the Republican candidates. Of this group, i find a significant portion that are pro legalization for a couple reasons.....

1) It is the Libertarian thing to do.

2) They are related to or friends with someone who otherwise is a contributing member of society, yet face harsh penalty for a rather harmless offense.


Many are acceping the idea of gay rights as well. They seem to be mostly concerned about guns, abortion, freedom of religion, and jobs through business growth. All the standard FOX fare.

We have to wait until FOX leverages it's full weight on the issue before they make a definate stand. We all know they can't think for themselves.

4. When this was asked before I gave it 75% odds of passing. Now I'd say it's 85%.

There hasn't been much change as far as the effort is going, you don't want to burn out too soon, I don't think. But we're polling well, there will be a massive effort come this fall, and I think it will actually help Obama win the state again. Another county signed on to allowing marijuana dispensaries. The overall trend is toward legalization, imo.

5. Wow, great news. I hope the FEDs stay out of it. n-t

[Woody Woodpecker]

8. Which county signed on?

Just wondering...

My county is Arapahoe County even though I live right across the border from Denver County - both legal dispensaries.

11. Pitkin County. Technically they removed the regs awhile ago...

...but they are finally implementing it in incorporated areas: http://www.aspentimes.com/article/20120628/NEWS/120629867

Sorry if that was wrong, I'd just heard about it but I had to look it up and wasn't fully correct.

6. Tell POTUS to shove it COL and WA

....by passing thè legalization measures
Medical cannabis is not enough. For true economic reform and personal liberty we need cannabis/ hemp treated like beer and wine
By passing these measures you all will be blowing an irreparrable hole in thè dam that is thè war on drugs What will POTUS et al do? Sue. Go for it. They would have to prove that cannabis belongs on schedule 1. And they can't, and they know it.

7. No Commercials Yet

There's a few billboards in support.

I think it will pass.

10. they've already purchased $800,000 in tv time

and it's polling well, but i am not holding my breath.

my city is voting again on dispensaries, which were banned in the last election.

13. The biggest problem outside of anti-MMJ are the cartels.

They're already spreading propaganda on sites that 64 will restrict marijuana usage. Yes, of course it "regulates" usage. But without it usage will be illegal.

The big growers are making bank off of growing that stuff and selling it on the black market.
