Signature gathering began today for an initiative that would end
marijuana prohibition in Colorado and create a system in which its sale
would be taxed and regulated. Sponsored by the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the initiative could be only the first of several competing marijuana initiatives aiming at Colorado's November 2012 ballot. But
this initiative is not only the first one out of the gate -- its
language was approved by state officials yesterday -- it is also backed
by leading state and national groups. The initiative's backers include
Mason Tvert and SAFER Colorado and Brian Vicente and Sensible Colorado, as well as national players the Drug Policy Alliance, the Marijuana Policy Project, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, NORML, and Students for Sensible Drug Policy.
