Denver's Question 100

SAFER, Safer Alternatives For Enjoyable Recreation, has passed Question 100 in the city of Denver, making marijuana laws the city's lowest enforcement priority. Modeled after Seattle's Initiative 75, passed in 2003, this victory makes Denver the 11th city to pass such a measure.

Congratulations to Mason Tvert and the rest of the SAFER crew on a job very well done.

In Seattle, pot arrests were cut in half by our Initiative 75, to the tune of about 100 fewer arrests a year. See Eli's article in the Stranger:

Similar results have been seen in other cities with like measures.

These "lowest priority" measures are nice feel good laws, but in reality, nothing much is going to change. You're still only going to get busted if you're being a dumbass and get caught for something else. It's not like they have weed squads running around looking for ppl smoking.

Decriminalizing industrial hemp however, is very important.
