Marijuana activist groups in Colorado, including SAFER (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation), Sensible Colorado, and NORML, have begun collecting signatures to place the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol initiative on the 2012 ballot.

The act would legalize small amounts of marijuana for those 21 and older. If it passes, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act would make Colorado the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes. Additionally, the measure would legalize hemp. Colorado is already one of sixteen states to allow the use of medical marijuana. The District of Columbia also has a medical cannabis law on the books.

In order to make the 2012 ballot, backers of the measure need to gather roughly 86,000 signatures.
