Thought I would share a little update from MPP I got today...
Dear Supporter,
Last November, the voters of Colorado made history when they approved Amendment 64, a ballot initiative backed by MPP to make the possession, sale, and home cultivation of marijuana legal. It was a moment to celebrate, but it was not the end of our work.
We knew that the process of turning the ballot initiative, which was a constitutional amendment, into statutory law and regulations would be challenging. Many members of the Colorado legislature were opposed to Amendment 64 and anti-marijuana groups were prepared to push for overly burdensome restrictions on the system.
So MPP put together a team of lobbyists and advocates to represent the people of Colorado who wanted marijuana to be regulated sensibly and responsibly. This week, the teams work paid off when the Colorado legislature passed the first bills in the history of the world to establish a regulated and taxed system for marijuana cultivation and sales.
Thanks to their work, on January 1, 2014, packaged and labeled marijuana and marijuana products will be available for purchase through state-licensed stores by anyone 21 years of age or older. Anyone.
