Campaign kicks off on Thursday!
This Thursday, we're helping kick off the campaign to legalize marijuana in Colorado. At our regular meeting on Thursday, we'll be joined by Mason Tvert and the folks from SAFER Colorado (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation), who will be training folks to petition for the Colorado Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative.
This initiative, if passed in November, would make it entirely legal for anyone over 21 to possess less than one ounce of marijuana -- the same status as alcohol, which only makes sense for a drug that's much safer than alcohol is! Besides, what a person eats, drinks, or smokes is their own business and their own responsibility -- it's not the government's place to assert its authority over our bodies!
So join us on Thursday at 6pm, in the Virginia Dale Room on the upper floor of the Lory Student Center, to join the campaign and sign the petition! We'll be out on the plaza in coming weeks with the petition, and we'll be pushing this measure hard in the fall as well... there are lots of ways to help out, so come out and join us!
