Please act quickly to ban the sale of marijuana in our community

March 15, 2014 By

I have been extremely outspoken in my disgust for the legalization in Colorado. It is a battle I will never stop fighting as I see the moral degradation of my beloved community. There are no gray areas here, no “taxes that will benefit” the community. Wrong is wrong.

Federal agents believe drug cartels have moved into Colorado and are using the recent legalization of marijuana within the state as a front to make money illegally. Drug cartels – both from Columbia and Mexico – have suffered major revenue losses following the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado on January 1. The Feds believe the gangs will now turn to the legal businesses in the state to find ways of making up for the shortfall in their profits.

This post is a call for my local residents to act quickly and please share this with your friends and neighbors ASAP. There is an upcoming vote in the city council on Monday to allow or ban retail sales of marijuana in our town. If passed, this would allow new bakeries and candy shops to sell products laced with marijuana in addition to other new freedoms to grow and sell this drug in our community.

Of concern: there are only 3 solid votes from the council to ban. The other votes are undeclared or up in the air. The primary reason to allow it would be for additional city revenue. Any money the city would take in would pale in comparison to the quality of life in this city. We need to fill the city council room Monday night so that the city council understands the significance of support for a ban. To date, the council has received 24 letters which is a wonderful start. We need to have 240 letters. Please take a few minutes and write yours before Monday.
