PETITION WOULD PROTECT POT LAW

 

More than 36,000 have signed in the effort to give Colorado protection from federal drug provisions related to marijuana.

 

Washington - More than 36,000 people have signed a petition to the White House that seeks protection for Colorado from federal drug laws so the state can craft a regulatory structure for a recreational-marijuana industry.

 

Marijuana is now legal in Colorado after 54.8 percent of voters approved the drug for recreational purposes in the early November election. It was a decisive victory: More Coloradans voted for the legalization of marijuana than voted for President Barack Obama, who won the state by 5 percentage points.
