SAFER UNVEILS NEW BILLBOARD

Pot proponents unveiled their second Denver billboard yesterday, which
revealed a bikini-clad woman who touts the relative benefits of
marijuana over alcohol.

"Marijuana: No hangovers. No violence. No Carbs," the billboard
states above the sprawled out bikini model.

The billboard will appear at two locations in Denver -- 1381 W.
Alameda Ave., and a separate location which was not immediately
announced yesterday.

The billboard serves in support of ballot initiative Amendment 44,
which would legalize the possession of up to one ounce of marijuana
for adults, 21 years of age and older.

The billboard on Alameda Avenue is positioned just steps away from the
Great American Beer Store. Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation
(SAFER), the amendment 44 proponents, contend that marijuana is
relatively safe compared to alcohol.

"We will continue to do everything in our power to make people think
about the fact that our laws irrationally drive people to drink and
prohibit the use of marijuana," said Amendment 44 campaign director
Mason Tvert. "Many members of the public seem willing to accept the
fact that laws pushing people toward alcohol increase the likelihood
of family and community violence and even death. Maybe the fact that
Americans are being driven to higher carbohydrate intake will finally
cause people to reconsider the value of our current laws."
