DENVER | A dispute over how to describe marijuana legalization to Colorado voters is on hold.
A Denver judge delayed a decision Monday on whether to allow marijuana activists to block the printing of the voters’ guide. The pot activists say the Legislature improperly deleted arguments in favor of legalization
A lawyer for the state Legislature argued that the judiciary can’t interfere because the guide is a product of a separate branch of government. A decision on that question was delayed until Wednesday.
The Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol filed a lawsuit in Denver District Court after a state panel edited some of the comments.
Lawmakers cannot change ballot language, but they can change how proposals are described to voters.
what is the matter guys. you deleted the truth about pot. sounds about right. do you have a lot of pot smokers that want this thing passed so bad that you will not put up that it does cause cancer, addictive, deadly on the roads, what about the poor kids that have to smell this smoke all the time. do you think it will make the kids high too. what about how much easier it will be for school kids to get it. you can’t even put the website where you can see all the proof and it is up to date. you people beat all. trying to force this on us to have to live with when i bet you were the same ones that wanted a ban on smoking cigarettes????
