Westword, 14 Mar 2013 – Dear Stoner: What is up with 4/20? Why is that like the St. Paddy’s Day for potheads? Nada Mota

Westword, 14 Mar 2013 – George Washington loved hemp. Our nation’s first president thought so much of the plant that he once famously wrote to his gardener, "Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere."

The Steamboat Today, 09 Mar 2013 – The Routt County Fair’s home arts competition is one of the annual highlights of the weeklong summertime celebration of agriculture and ranching, always featuring an eclectic mix of homegrown produce, homemade baked goods and unique arts and crafts creations from residents young and old. And even though the informal potpourri of submissions is what makes the fairgounds pavilion come alive during fair week, we support the Fair Board’s decision, and the Routt County Board of Commissioners’ backing, to ban marijuana-related entries. In that vein, we similarly can’t fault the commissioners for moving forward with an all-out prohibition of marijuana on all county-owned properties and in all county-owned facilities. It’s safe to say few residents considered that November’s passage of Amendment 64 might encourage certain green thumbs in our community to enter their best marijuana plant or pot-laced edible goodies during the Routt County Fair. Even Fair Board members acknowledge that the possibility of such entries first were brought up in jest during one of their recent meetings, before they realized it might not be so funny when confronted with a potentially awkward situation come fair week.

Daily Camera, 09 Mar 2013 – Boulder City Council’s implementation of Amendment 64 needs to only concern itself with one priority. That priority is: "What was the intent of the voters in approving the amendment in overwhelming numbers in the city of Boulder." What I believe voters stated in voting for Amendment 64 is that they were tired of the excessive war on drugs, tired of the violence surrounding drug cartels and tired of the state intruding into their lives over issues of relatively low governmental concern.
