It was August 3, 2009, Day One of the felony jury trial in People versus Jason Lauve, Boulder Colorado District Court. Since my client had rejected all offers and we were heading to battle, the ass-kissing was over, and the ass-kicking was on. I was in full-blown scorched-earth warrior mode.

During Colorado's legislative debates on medical marijuana, opponents have leveled some extreme "Reefer Madness"-type arguments against the rights of suffering and dying patients to use marijuana to alleviate their medical conditions. One of the arguments advanced by the prime sponsor of HB 1284, Senator Chris Romer, was that marijuana causes...

Bored to tears by any mention of petition rights? If you've ever supported a grassroots issue campaign, you may want to take a second look--and do so quickly--after a pair of little watched Colorado Senate votes that took place on Wednesday.

Over the past year, medical marijuana has consumed Colorado's news headlines and political debates. But with an estimated 100,000 patients now legally authorized to use marijuana to treat debilitating medical conditions, a handful of lawmakers threaten to dismantle a transparent dispensary system in favor of constitutionally-suspect regulations that could embolden...

The legislation would have required Coloradans to inform on each other Soviet-style. It sought to forfeit power to the federal government at the expense of rights afforded under the Colorado Constitution. And it advocated for industry rules that would have turned law-abiding entrepreneurs into marked targets for unrepentant thieves.

As Colorado's medical marijuana community, which includes nearly 30,000 registered patients, prepares for next week's legislative session to kick off, the focus will be squarely on a proposal by Sen. Chris Romer, a Denver Democrat. While Romer should be applauded for his willingness to consider and implement changes to the...

As marijuana legalization activists gather this weekend in San Francisco, we will be speaking together as Republican parents sounding our support for ending federal marijuana prohibition. Inevitably, we'll be asked the following: "If you feel so passionately about legalization, why don't you switch parties?" Based solely on American drug...
