Sixty-six percent of Denver voters supported Amendment 64, the historic initiative that legalized marijuana for adults in Colorado last November. But Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and his allies on the Denver City Council are attempting to roll back that progress with a blatantly unconstitutional measure that would criminalize adults’ use of marijuana — even on private property — if others report seeing or smelling it!

If this ordinance is approved, adults will face up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 just for using marijuana in front of their window or in their backyard — harsher penalties than before the passage of Amendment 64!

The city should not be spending taxpayer dollars to arrest and prosecute citizens who are in compliance with state law. And since the measure is a clear violation of the Colorado Constitution, the city will end up spending even more taxpayer dollars defending it in court.

Please help us defend Amendment 64 by adding your name to this petition calling on the Denver City Council to drop this ridiculous proposal.
