At this hour, SAFER's Mason Tvert is slated to hold a press
conference at the Denver City and County Building to highlight his
pro-marijuana outfit's first-ever voter guides -- and to bash Mayor John
Hickenlooper for what Tvert sees as his backwards stance on weed. But
at least Hickenlooper's addressed the topic, unlike many other
politicos. "We're really highlighting the fact that Mayor
Hickenlooper continues to oppose reforming marijuana laws despite the
fact that he has made a fortune selling a far more harmful substance,"
Tvert says, referring to Hickenlooper's previous career as a tavern
owner. "It's time he explained what's going on." Read the entire story at: http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2010/10/marijuana_legalization_mason_tvert_blasts_john_hickenlooper_and_politicos_who_dodge_issue.php

Gubernatorial
frontrunner John Hickenlooper, now Denver’s mayor, has most Democrats
enthralled, but marijuana advocates are calling for his defeat. SAFER,
which wants full legalization of marijuana, is backing American
Constitution party candidate Tom Tancredo in the race for his
pro-legalization stance. "Mayor Hickenlooper owes Colorado voters
an explanation," SAFER’s Mason Tvert said in a news release. "In the
five years since his city became the first in the nation to remove all
penalties for adult marijuana possession he has yet to explain why it
was okay for him to make a fortune selling alcohol, yet it should be a
crime for adults to use a far safer substance instead.”

A
marijuana advocacy group plans to laud Colorado attorney general
candidate Stan Garnett and other candidates Wednesday in downtown Denver
for their positions on pot regulation. The group, SAFER, said it
sent a survey to candidates asking whether marijuana should be
regulated similarly to alcohol and whether adults 21 and older should be
allowed to possess up to one ounce of pot. Read the entire story at: http://www.coloradodaily.com/cu-boulder/ci_16323637#ixzz13goBHoUs

The
eyes of Colorado’s growing medical marijuana community are set on
California’s upcoming ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana
for adults.
At
least two different Colorado pro-marijuana groups Safer Alternative
for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) and the Cannabis Therapy Institute
(CTI) have announced plans to place a marijuana-legalization
initiative similar to California’s Proposition 19 on the 2012 ballot.
The two groups yesterday staged events to bring attention to Proposition
19 and their own initiatives... ...“Even
though California has been around for so long with medical marijuana,
Colorado is the first state in the country that has established a state
regulated system,” said Tvert. “Whereas California started the race
earlier, Colorado appears to be on the way towards finishing the race
quicker.” Read the entire story at: http://www.thedenverdailynews.com/article.php?aID=10222
