Denver wasn't the only municipality in the western US to pass lowest enforcement priority measures around marijuana on Tuesday. As referenced by Mr. Kent in a comment to my post about Denver's Question 100, the
small Idaho town of Hailey passed three of four marijuana-related measures that were on the ballot.
The three measures: remove penalties for city residents who have medical marijuana per a doctor's recommendation, make marijuana possesion by adults the town's lowest law enforcement priority, and allow farmers to grow industrial hemp. The measure that failed would have required the hamlet to tax and regulate marijuana sales to adults.
The measures won't have a huge impact beyond local cops' enforcement of pot laws, though I'm sure there are a few heads in Hailey that definitely appreciate that. Still, good on ya, Hailey, and especially to Ryan Davidson who started the iniatives.
