1284 was definitely a mistake that was started by Romer, a democrat, but 109 which violates the doctor patient relationship was sponsored by an R. Kind of surprising, but true.

As I stated, this is NOT about party for me. If you can show me a true mmj republican running for legislature, I'll have my $200 check in the mail for their candidacy.

Let's NOT make this about party. It's all about who is for MMJ.

I'm an Independent, btw

Again--the ENTIRE point I am trying to make. The overwhelming majority of Coloradoans are fiscally CONSERVATIVE. IOW we don't believe in big Federal Government. We voted for admendment 20 clear back in 2000. Directly after 1284 passed the senate--- Rasmussen polled Coloradoans--and a WHOPPING 49% stated that they want marijuana completely LEGAL and TAXED. The other % missing are those that are O.K. with medical marijuana--meaning that the overwhelming majority in this state believe in is some type of marijuana approval.

I don't know how long you have lived in the state of Colorado--but I am a 3rd generation native.

The point is--I think you will find that republicans in this state are more pro marijuana--than are democrats.

A good place in point: El Paso county--church group of this entire country--city council Colorado Springs--slammed dunked the Chanber of Commerce-literally calling the opposition the Chamber of "de commerce" and voting for the approval of medical marijauna dispensories. --(not a democrat in the bunch)
