Colorado Activists Turn In Petition For Legalization

[Balou]

As the state seeks reclassification of medical marijuana to a schedule 2 drug, Colorado pot activists are seeking full recreational use legalization, and by the looks of the amount of signatures they have collected, they are off to an overwhelmingly strong start.

7News reports that the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol says it will turn in nearly 160,000 signatures in favor of the legalization initiative Wednesday to the Secretary of State's Office -- nearly double the 86,000 signatures required to put the question of pot legalization on the 2012 ballot.

The state then has 30 days to decide whether or not the pot measure will be on the ballots, according to The Denver Post. If it gets approval, it would be the first measure approved for the 2012 Colorado election.

Thanks for this Balou.

Although this was tried and failed in 2006, let's hope they can pass it this time.
What has me concerned is the following: "The state then has 30 days to decide whether or not the pot measure will be on the ballot."
With sufficient pressure, this measure may never make the ballot. Something to be mindful of...

Happy trails...
