The price of liberty is, always has been, and
always will be blood: the person who is not
willing to die for his liberty has already lost it to
the first scoundrel who is willing to risk dying
to violate that person's liberty. Are you free?
-- Andrew Ford
Cheers Denver!
What are you doing in August?
Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a
species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of
reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and
makes a crime out of things that are not crimes.
A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon
which our government was founded.
-Abraham Lincoln
On the floor of Congress 1849
Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking
a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica.

Certain segments of the media, certain quarters in academia,
and some frustrated Americans see legalization as an
option that should be discussed. -- US DEA booklet, "Speaking Out Against Legalization"

We didn't choose to fight this drug war, it chose us.
Now we have to do whatever it takes to fight this evil
and change this system. No more shattered lives!
- Chris Conrad, author "Shattered Lives"
The Colorado Secretary of State announced yesterday that SAFER's statewide marijuana legalization initiative has qualified for the ballot! The
measure, which would eliminate all penalties for possession of up to
one ounce of marijuana by adults 21 and older, will appear as Amendment 44 on the November ballot and will be decided by Colorado voters in the November 7th election.
The
official count found us to have submitted 130,815 total signatures,
which is nearly twice the approximately 68,000 needed -- this is a feat
in and of itself! We again thank all the individuals who put their time
and hard work into this incredible effort. We hope this payoff will
motivate everyone to stay involved and lend a hand in any way they can
to make the upcoming campaign a success.
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing
because he could only do a little.
-- Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
The effect of drug enforcement has been to lessen
people’s respect for the law because they believe the policy is irrational, because they believe they are being harassed,
and also because we see the dirtiest kind of policing in
the area of drug enforcement.
