Written by Michael Roberts

On Friday, SAFER's Mason Tvert announced that he would lead a march at Town Center of Aurora to protest the treatment of John Gailey a week earlier.

Back then, Gailey was cited for trespassing and banned from the mall for a year because he wore a "Yes We Cannabis" T-shirt, and refused to remove it.

Approximately thirty marchers participated in the event, and none of them were hassled by mall security -- which is the way it should be, Tvert says.

"The mall was very hands off, and didn't stop a single person wearing a marijuana T-shirt," Tvert notes. "And we hope they'll continue that policy in the future."

Wearing T-shirts spouting a variety of pro-marijuana messages, a group of about 40 marijuana advocates quietly strolled into Town Center at Aurora on Saturday in support of a man banned from the mall last week after wearing a similar shirt.

Unlike the man banned last week, 28-year-old John Gailey, Saturday’s group wasn’t asked to leave the mall or change their attire.

Instead, the group walked from store to store like any other shoppers.

Mason Tvert, executive director of Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation, which organized the event, said his group hoped the event would make it easier for other marijuana advocates to wear pro-marijuana shirts without problems.

Westword: SAFER wants Betsy Markey to honor medical marijuana industry

Mason Tvert, executive director of SAFER (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation), has spent five years arguing that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol -- and even critics would have to agree that his creativity in promoting this idea is off the charts.

A boycott of Starbucks because of the store's tenuous link to an anti-weed group? Absolutely. Bamboozling his way onto the Amazon books best-seller list? Sure. Suggesting that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger might have been able to avoid sexual-assault accusations if he'd smoked instead of drank? Damn straight.

His latest gambit: Shortly after Congress adapted Representative Betsy Markey's resolution in praise of the craft-beer industry, Tvert publicly beseeched her to do the same for the medical marijuana business. After all, his release declares, MMJ dispensary owners "are also entrepreneurs who are crafting a product that is useful to society."

Voting for the measure is "a no-brainer," Tvert feels. To find out why, read on:
