Marijuana advocates note alcohol's violence link in Colo. Capitol lobbying effort :: The Republic

In this article from therepublic.com, it tells us that theWomen's Marijuana Movement chapter in Denver wore purple Tshirts Tuesday to mark Sexual Assault Awareness Month and passed out some fliers that stated that alcohol is responsible and is more closely tied to more rapes and sexual assaults than marijuana. One of the women there is a college senior from CO Springs who was the victim of a drunken sexual assault. I stand closely behind the women of this movement, and I believe that alcohol should be the illegal substance, not pot. They're also apparenly planning a "high tea" for Mother's Day, which falls on May 8th this year.

Colorado Congressman Jared Polis on Pot: 'I Support Full Legalization' - CelebStoner.com

My first time using Google Chrome's blogger tool. In good ole' Colorado, Congressman Jared Polis delivered the keynote speech at the NORML Conference Saturday in Denver. He talked about things like how he is fully supportive of full legalization, but how it could still go either way. "Prohibition has never stopped anyone from smoking marijuana. It's time we end this failed policy of prohibition," he told the crowd at lunchtime Saturday. "Now is the time to double and triple our efforts on the advocacy front." It's about time more representatives went for full legalization. If more officials had this mindset, maybe they could pull us out of this massive debt hole we're in. Source link here.
