Talk:Breckenridge, CO Medicinal Marijuana Initiative

Summary:

In April 1994, hemp activists in Breckenridge put an initiative on their local ballot that directed the local law enforcement to make it their lowest priority to arrest someone for using marijuana for medicine. The initiative passed by about 50 votes. (The initiative was modeled after San Francisco's Proposition P which passed by over 80% of the votes.) Shortly after the Breckenridge initiative passed, the Frisco city council adopted a similar ordinance encouraging medical marijuana research. So now there are two towns in Summit County that have medical marijuana ordinances. Way to go, Summit County activists!!!
