Colorado also has a relatively huge voter turn out rate – 71%

Amendment 64 will pass here.

The fight for and against Amendment 64, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol act, is entering its final stages — and Roger Sherman, campaign director for Smart Colorado, the No on 64 movement, admits that he can’t compete with proponents when it comes to resources. So he’s countering with events and op-eds. See examples and get Sherman’s take on the race below.

What is making them howling mad is this ad airing locally.

I’m 99% sure 64 will pass here.

Why does FDL and everyone else in the media focus on Colorado and ignore Washington State?

Here’s some facts:

Legalization in Washington State is 54% to 38% in latest poll.

Washington State is the 13th most populous state in the Union while Colorado is 22nd.

Washington State also has referendum that would legalize Gay Marriage and these two issues reinforce us.

So I wonder. Why is all the focus on Colorado? Why is Washington State basically ignored? I don’t get it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we pass it here and it barely misses passing in Colorado and all the discussion the next day is how much it says that it almost passed in Colorado and Washington is ignored.

My interest is what happens when this passes and they are taxing something the Fed government considers illegal.

And has anyone done any reporting on what happens to people who already may be in jail or probation when it passes?

Now aside from my misgivings about taxes – if you have never smoked then you have no idea how high prices can go overnight and alcohol is taxed so high in most areas already they cant tax it more -, I notice the bill doesnt specify what “limited” amounts are.

Who would decide that and when. Like I never buy quarters. So am I ok with an oz or qp? There are so many ways pot can be legal but the police can still get involved. having too much. selling w/o a license.

Also are there restrictions on where you can smoke or would that be handle with city ordinences.
