Denver Post, 12 Dec 2012 – Re: "Hickenlooper signs proclamation making marijuana legalization official," Dec. 11 news story. Now that marijuana use is legal in Colorado, one of my chief concerns is the impact this has on children. Is it legal today for adults to smoke marijuana within the confines of a home when children are present? I strongly believe that exposing children to secondhand marijuana smoke is a form of child abuse that should be vigorously prosecuted under existing child welfare laws. Must we wait to protect children in their own homes until the governor’s task force issues its rules next year?
