It's Official: Cannabis Possession And Cultivation Now Legal In Colorado Dear NORML Supporters, History was made once again today when Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an Executive Order that makes an "official declaration of the vote" related to Amendment 64. This declaration formalizes the amendment as part of the state Constitution and makes legal the personal use, possession and limited home-growing of marijuana under Colorado law for adults 21 years of age and older. "Voters were loud and clear on Election Day," Gov. Hickenlooper said in a prepared statement. "We will begin working immediately with the General Assembly and state agencies to implement Amendment 64." Colorado joins Washington as the first two states in modern history to legalize the consumption of cannabis by adults. As of today, the following acts are no longer unlawful under Colorado state law for persons 21 years of age or older: (a) POSSESSING, USING, DISPLAYING, PURCHASING, OR TRANSPORTING MARIJUANA ACCESSORIES OR ONE OUNCE OR LESS OF MARIJUANA. (b) POSSESSING, GROWING, PROCESSING, OR TRANSPORTING NO MORE THAN SIX MARIJUANA PLANTS, WITH THREE OR FEWER BEING MATURE, FLOWERING PLANTS, AND POSSESSION OF THE MARIJUANA PRODUCED BY THE PLANTS ON THE PREMISES WHERE THE PLANTS WERE GROWN, PROVIDED THAT THE GROWING TAKES PLACE IN AN ENCLOSED, LOCKED SPACE, IS NOT CONDUCTED OPENLY OR PUBLICLY, AND IS NOT MADE AVAILABLE FOR SALE. © TRANSFER OF ONE OUNCE OR LESS OF MARIJUANA WITHOUT REMUNERATION TO A PERSON WHO IS TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. (d) CONSUMPTION OF MARIJUANA, PROVIDED THAT NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL PERMIT CONSUMPTION THAT IS CONDUCTED OPENLY AND PUBLICLY OR IN A MANNER THAT ENDANGERS OTHERS. (e) ASSISTING ANOTHER PERSON WHO IS TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER IN ANY OF THE ACTS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPHS (a) THROUGH (d) OF THIS SUBSECTION. Governor Hickenlooper also announced today the formation of 24-member task force to oversee the implementation of the law, which ultimately mandates for the commercial production and sale of cannabis by those licensed to do so. A representative of Colorado NORML sits on this task force. To be clear: This is not decriminalization -- a policy change that amends criminal penalties for minor marijuana offenses, but that continues to define cannabis as illegal contraband under the law and subjects its consumers to civil penalties. Today in Colorado, like in Washington, cannabis -- when possessed in private by an adult in specific quantities -- is a legal commodity. And it is likely that there is very little that the federal government can do to stop it. States are not mandated to criminalize marijuana or arrest adult cannabis consumers and the federal government cannot compel prosecutors in Colorado or Washington to do otherwise. The voters have spoken and change is upon us. Can you smell the freedom? Help NORML continue the important work of regulating marijuana by donating today! Sincerely, The NORML Team
:eusa_eh: really? Honestly never thought it would happen in my lifetime. Ken Stroup (NORML) had his sincere doubts too. Really is unbelievable to some of us old heads.
Ya know whats funny tho... You know for a fact theres a dude locked up in his house figuring out how to max out his 3 plants...........some fuckin nut is digging a hole in his basement right htis moment! rofl! You wait n see, someones guna pull like 10+lbs from 1 plant indoors
You know all of us here would be doing the same exact thing....you tell me I can have one plant...that motherfucker will be the size of a pin oak using rebar for stakes
No homo, i just wanna see Res crap his pants, literally tho, I think hes just talkin shit...:bduh::roffl:
oh. asssit: don't wear-em. No shit. Three plants. You could veg them into 48 sq.ft of scrog and three 1000w hid. Where there's a will.......
Don't know what everyone is getting excited about. I guarantee that the Feds will find a way to put a stop to the laws in Wa and Co.
Not without a Supreme Court challenge. It's what we've been waiting on all along. If State's win the doors open wide and all those districts claiming Fed intimidation can now act and banking restrictions go out the window. If the Feds win it's back to the drawing board.
