PASSAGE OF MARIJUANA LAW IN DENVER

I was amused at The Post's headline announcing that the Denver
marijuana legalization initiative passed by a "thin margin," despite
the fact that it passed by a significantly larger margin than
Referendum C did.

Marijuana has never killed anyone, yet we fill our prisons with those
who use it. Alcohol kills tens of thousands of Americans every year,
but remains legal. A majority of the voters in Denver understand that
this is an insane double standard.

There are many studies that demonstrate that alcohol is linked to
domestic violence, while marijuana is not. SAFER's campaign was honest
and brought important facts to the public. Thank you, SAFER, for
struggling against the decades-long misinformation campaign that our
government has waged against marijuana.
