Recently, the people of denver voted to legalize possession of an ounce of marijuana or less. While this is a big step toward the freedom denied for years, some law enforcement officers believe that it is thier duty to continue arresting those caught in possession, by prosecuting those caught in denver under state law. where marijuana is still classified as a "Schedule 1" drug, alongside LSD, cocaine and heroin.
honestly, it dosnt surprise me that these officers have both the ability to take such actions, and the motive to deny the people of their common will. this is blasphemy! theres not a more cowardly act than enforcing according to personal bias.
but, the same group that started this movement (S.A.F.E.R, Safer alternative for enjoyable recreation http://www.saferchoice.org/) in denver are taking the battle state wide. under initiative-100 an ounce of marijuana or less would be legal for adults 21 or older.
this is an exciting time, where democracy might actually work they way it is supposed to, majority rules. although i believe prejudice and bias against marijuana users will continue, this is a essential step toward a right long since disregarded by our government and law enforcement agencies.
