Breckenridge Marijuana Legalization Could Inspire Other Ski Towns

Aspen Daily News:

While Pitkin County and Aspen have long had a reputation for a casual approach to drug enforcement, it may be Durango that is the next Colorado ski town to legalize adult possession of up to an ounce of pot and the paraphernalia used to smoke it.

A group called Sensible Durango is preparing to put a ballot question in front of Durango voters in November 2010.

"We're pretty confident it will pass like it did in Breckenridge," said Corey Chavez of Sensible Durango.

Valid medicinal value, it’s a victimless crime, the War on Drugs WAY too costly, too many arrests for simple possession, tax it and use the money to pay for health insurance and to reduce the deficit…Need I say more?

Woodstock Universe supports legalization of Marijuana.

Current poll results…97% for legalization, 3% against.

20,000,000 Americans use Marijuana every year. Still no body count. I think the science has proved your fear mongering baseless.

They're skiing stoned everyday anyway. What's the difference? I've lived in Vail. The ski instructors are stoned. The lift operators are stoned. The snowmakers are stoned. The waiters and waitresses are stoned. The tourists are stoned.

I'm not judging. I was stoned when I lived there too.
