Westword: Proposition 19 loss gives CO chance to be first state to legalize marijuana
Written by Michael Roberts   
Wednesday, 03 November 2010

Yesterday, we told you about the planned launch of Legalize2012.com, a drive to legalize marijuana for adult use in Colorado -- and noted that organizers planned to move forward even if Proposition 19, a similar measure in California, failed at the ballot box -- which it did. But advocates Mason Tvert and Brian Vicente, while downcast about the Prop. 19 results, see the opportunity to now cast Colorado in the history-making role.

Shortly after the die was cast last night, Tvert, of Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation, aka SAFER, and Vicente, who heads Sensible Colorado, jointly released statements expressing confidence that the Prop. 19 vote won't doom legalization efforts in Colorado. To the contrary, they suggest that the "no" vote in Cali will energize their push over the next two years.

RawStory.com: Group offers $10,000 to disprove ‘marijuana is safer than alcohol’ claim
Written by Eric W. Dolan   
Thursday, 28 October 2010
The Safer Texas Campaign is offering $10,000 to anyone in Texas who can prove that three statements claiming marijuana is safer than alcohol are incorrect.

The three statements are:

1. Alcohol is significantly more toxic than marijuana, making death by overdose far more likely with alcohol

2. The health effects from long-term alcohol consumption cause tens of thousands of more deaths in the U.S. annually than the health effects from the long-term consumption of marijuana

3. Violent crime committed by individuals intoxicated by alcohol is far more prevalent in the U.S. than violent crime committed by individuals intoxicated by marijuana only.

CNBC: Marijuana looms large for many Colo. voters

Tuesday, 26 October 2010

Political yard signs pack the busy medians of Denver's largest suburb and bickering candidates fill the airwaves. But the hottest political question for many here is whether to ban commercial marijuana sales...

"The fact that so many communities are voting on how to handle the sale of medical marijuana, we view that as a positive," Tvert said. "We're beyond debating whether marijuana should be allowed, but debating how and where it should be allowed, which is how it should be."...

Denver Daily News: Candidates' pot views

More than 20 candidates running for office in Colorado are in favor of legalizing marijuana for adults, according to a report released yesterday.

Meanwhile, nearly 10 candidates oppose legalization, and the majority didn’t respond to a survey issued by the social welfare lobbying arm of Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), a pro-marijuana legalization group.

Mason Tvert’s SAFER asked every Colorado candidate up for election next month whether they agree with the following policy statement: “Marijuana should be regulated in a manner similar to alcohol, and adults twenty-one (21) years of age and older should NOT be subject to criminal penalties for private use and possession of up to one (1) ounce of marijuana.” SAFER is planning on putting a pro-legalization measure on the 2012 ballot...
