Breckenridge, Colorado Voters Decriminalize Pot Possession Up to An Ounce

Wed, Nov 04, 2009 2:23 pm


Starting at the beginning of next year, Breckenridge residents 21 and older will be allowed to possess paraphernalia and up to an ounce of pot legally after successfully amending the town code in Tuesday’s election.

 

Over 70 percent of voters elected to decriminalize possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. Previously, such possession was considered a petty offense that could result in a ticket being issued with a fine of up to $100. However, residents of the Colorado town decided to do away with the penalties altogether.

 

The state still considers possession illegal and the new ordinance doesn’t change laws against smoking in public or driving under the influence.

 

The vote solidifies Breckenridge’s reputation as a progressive town for marijuana law reform. In a statewide vote in 2006 Breckenridge voters overwhelmingly supported Amendment 44, which would have decriminalized possession of up to an ounce of pot throughout Colorado. The amendment, however, failed. …summitdaily.com

I really don't know what the United States Government is waiting on Some one to show them how to package it, market it, distribute it. They're losing money day by day, Our government must have some sort of mental problem, learning disability. IT'S SNOWBALL'N AND IT'S NEVER GONNA STOP, till everyone is as high as the clouds in the sky.

Stop drink'n yourselfs to death, "MARYJANE" is here to save the day, take a toke and hold the smoke and see a better way. May Gods gift bring joy and happyness to the entire human race. We should rejoice and honor what the gods have given us, and declare mental freedom once and for all.

I'll be in Breckenridge for April 20th, 2010. That shall be the first of 1002 Celebrations for our freedom of choice ..... to toke or not to toke.. This is now a legal right Colorado has given to the people of America.

Now I don't think every person in the US should flock to Colorado and smoke out the entire state but God blessed I do hope the coolest and most enlightened souls do visit for 4-20 __________________________________________________

Pot was made illegal in 1933 because it was going to put the cotton industry out of business

I agree with what you are saying in spirit Jane D., however, that is not the reason the USA made the hemp plant illegal. Textile and oil companies lobbyed the government of the day for prohibition. The quality and versatility of the hemp plant would have damaged their bottom line. Of course the government loves to help out it's rich buddies, so prohibition came into effect. It really had nothing to do with smoking the stuff, if that was all there was to it, it would never have been illegal. Government by the people, for the people....yeah right...government for big business friends would be more accurate.

Canada just went along with the USA government with out any knowledge of the subject. Farmers in Saskatchewan were using hemp as wind rows. When they were told these had to be removed, well that really helped the dirty 30's get under way, as the soil simply blew away.

Nice to see some progress down there, now maybe we can make some progress. It was nice that they blamed Canada and particularly B.C. for the USA marijuana problems. Conveniently forgetting that most of the pot in the 60's and 70's were coming from or through the USA.

I JUST WISH IF/WHEN PEOPLE DID WRITE IN, THAT THEY WOULD THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, AND MAYBE PROOF READ IT BEFORE THEY SEND IT IN. THAT WAY OTHERS WHO READ IT DONT THINK THAT "WE" STONERS ARE COMPLETELY IGNORANT. IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT, THEN SHUT YOUR MOUTH, AND OPEN YOUR EARS. PEACE AND LOVE

Now that town has got it going on, they have the right ideal. Everyone in every town, city, state, should be fighting for legalization of marijuana. It's a GOD given right to smoke marijuana, it was given to us by GOD, not the United States Government. The U.S. government is jealous cause they can't figure out how to make a buck off of something GOD has given to us all, free of charge.
The U.S. government is like a little baby who can't have it's way. So they make it illegal, so no one can benefit from GODS gift to the world. The U.S. government is nothing more than a cry baby with a attitude problem.

GROW UP UNITED STATES AND MAKE IT LEGAL SO ALL OF THE PEOPLE IN AMERICAN CAN BENEFIT FROM IT.

Kill the jews

Nov 8 2009, 11:33 am

Finally, marijuana is being decriminalized, and soon it will be legal to hunt and kill jews. Things are truly looking up. Call your local representatives and tell them you want the ban on hunting and killing jews lifted for the good of the environment and the children.

Rachel Maddow said she hopes the pot-paraphernalia in this case doesn't include snowboards, and so would NORML, but most people justly don't seem to mind others taking Prozac or Adderall and going snowboarding as long as the users are familiar with the effects, -pot isn't even toxic like both those drugs. Liberals aren't as afraid of pot as Conservatives, obviously, but the unfair bias crosses party lines to a small extent.

nationwide ASAP!

Nov 6 2009, 4:01 pm

Nov 5 2009, 1:07 pm

just wait till the feds threaten your governor and takes away federal money, oh yes and don't forget the feds like to send undercover maggots to infiltrate and do outrageous shit like getting little kids high, so that there will be public outrage against cannabis, be careful you guys I am sure the feds put you on their list, this week a world class scientist and professor, David Nutt has gone out public with the support of his panel of scientists that cannabis is harmless.
so smoke safely enjoy and know in your heart you are not doing anything evil.
