The organizer of the campaign that might put the marijuana legalization initiative in the 2012 ballot said last Thursday that the measure will most likely be applicable to people aged 21 years old and above and would permit to possess only small amount of pot.
The executive director of Sensible Colorado, Brian Vicente, who is also one of the voices on the Colorado Legalization 2012 campaign, said that the draft initiative will create a state-licenses system on marijuana shops, alike to the regulatory systems on liquor stores; and will allow users to grow small amounts of marijuana on their own. He added, “Sales on marijuana will mostly likely be added to a special excise tax. Details are still being worked out.”The campaign still needs to file any initiative language with the state.
During the panel discussion at the annual conference of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Vicente said, “We think it's got a really good shot of passing.”
This campaign of Vicente is one of the two that they have been working to make the marijuana legalization be put in the 2012 ballot of Colorado. There is also this group named Legalize 2012 formulating an initiative. On their website the campaign proposes a freedom-based model, with no unreasonable limits on possession of marijuana and no extra taxes beyond the standard sales tax.
