Colorado Springs Independent, 22 Aug 2012 – Last Thursday, the Colorado Center on Law and Policy released a study saying the state could see $60 million-plus in combined savings and revenue if Amendment 64, the effort to decriminalize marijuana, is passed by voters in November. That amount could balloon to $100 million within five years of the law’s implementation, says study author Christopher Stiffler. The numbers came under immediate criticism from No on 64, the group opposing the ballot measure: "This report triples the estimate from the state’s unbiased, non-partisan Office of Legislative Council in the Blue Book," campaign director Roger Sherman told Denver’s Westword, citing a report that shows the amendment could increase revenue anywhere between $4 million and $22 million.
