This training will provide an in-depth explanation of Colorado’s recently passed marijuana laws-including Amendment 64, the new “adult use” implementation laws, as well as a special focus on Question 301, the local medical marijuana law recently passed in Ft. Collins.

Please join the authors of Amendment 64 and Question 301– along with allies from the labor movement– to learn about rights and business opportunities created by these new laws.

What: “Free Training on Colorado’s New Marijuana Laws”

When: Wednesday, May 22 from 6:30p-8:00p

Where: Council Tree Library, 2733 Council Tree Ave., Ft. Collins, CO 80525 Community Rm C

What Else: Training open to patients, business owners, and other supporters of sensible marijuana laws.

P.S. Did you know that over the next few months every locality in Colorado will decide whether to permit or ban retail marijuana stores? Check out Sensible Colorado Action’s new A64 Local Government Action Center and make your voice heard today!

Support H.R. 1523, the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act!

via The Marijuana Policy Project: There is big news in the halls of Congress! A new bipartisan bill would modify the federal Controlled Substances Act so that anyone acting in compliance with a state marijuana law would be immune from federal prosecution.

That’s right. The federal Controlled Substances Act simply would not apply to marijuana users, dispensary operators, and other individuals who have been courageous enough to help take marijuana production and sales above ground into state-regulated markets. Click here to urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act.

We would like to thank Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) for his leadership on this bill. It presents a perfect opportunity for members to embrace the notion that states should be able to devise systems for regulating marijuana without their citizens having to worry about breaking federal law.

The goal is to have this bill be truly bipartisan, so it is being introduced with three Republicans (Reps. Rohrabacher, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), and Don Young (R-AK)) and three Democrats (Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Steve Cohen (D-TN) and Jared Polis (D-CO)). In order to build up the list of co-sponsors, we need you to make your voice heard.

Please use our online action center to urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act. Just two minutes of your time will make a big difference. And please don’t forget to share this email with friends and family so that they can take action too.

Tell AG Holder Not to Interfere with Marijuana Legalization

via The Drug Policy Alliance: When eight former heads of the Drug Enforcement Administration co-sign a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, demanding that he block Washington’s and Colorado’s marijuana legalization laws from being implemented, we need to respond!

Tell Mr. Holder, respectfully but forcefully, to reject their self-serving demand and to respect the states’ marijuana legalization laws.

It’s obvious why they sent that letter. They know that Americans are turning their backs on the failed drug war policies these former DEA directors once championed. Their legacy is at stake, threatened by the will of American voters, and they don’t like that. That’s’ why we need your help now. Attorney General Holder could issue his new policy regarding Washington and Colorado any day now. It’s ultimately a political decision. We need to let him know that Americans all around the country want him to give those two states a chance to implement their historic laws

Act now. Urge Attorney General Holder to let the states implement their marijuana legalization laws without federal interference.

We’ve hit the tipping point on marijuana legalization. Just last week, a new Pew poll found that a majority of Americans supports legalizing marijuana. Sixty percent think the federal government shouldn’t interfere with state legalization. That’s why what happens in Colorado and Washington is so important — what they do there will shape the future of reform in this country.

With your help, we’ve put reforming failed marijuana prohibition on the table for public debate. State legislatures across the country are considering bills to legalize marijuana, establish medical marijuana programs, and reduce or eliminate penalties for personal possession. And right now, there are four bills introduced in the US Congress that would protect states that decide to reform their marijuana laws, with more on the way.

The drug war apologists, including these ex-DEA directors, are in the minority. Write Attorney General Holder today and demand that he respect states’ marijuana legalization laws!
