A group of Iowa State University students took to the open
Thursday afternoon near Parks Library to voice their support for the
legalization of marijuana.
“If you get caught with a roach, you
get thrown in jail, but if you get caught with an open can of beer you
get a slap on the wrist!” shouted Russ Nupnau, a freshman in mechanical
engineering.
Nupnau and several others held signs and took down
the names of fellow students who said they supported the group SAFER,
which stands for “Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation.”
SAFER
is a national organization that kicked off National Alcohol Awareness
Month by hosting rallies at 83 college campuses around the country where
students distributed information about the relative harms of alcohol
and marijuana.

Pot advocate Mason Tvert filed language on Wednesday for a November
ballot initiative that would allow Coloradans 21 and older to use
marijuana. Does that mean Colorado is about to be embroiled in a
full-scale movement to legalize weed?
Not necessarily.
"There isn't some large campaign being
launched," says Tvert, reached during a business trip in San Francisco.
"It's just something we wanted to make sure was possible if we decided
to do it." He explains the he and his colleagues at SAFER, the marijuana
reform organization Tvert runs, wanted to file the appropriate
paperwork for such a contingency before key election deadlines had
passed. But they're far from launching an official political operation. |
