The group Decriminalize Denver submitted over 8,000 signatures today for their initiative, well more than the 4,726 required to make the November general election ballot.

Medicinal cannabis is creeping up the European Union agenda as legislators prepare to divert cash into research of the drug and begin laying groundwork for a harmonised set of laws across the bloc.

Since the beginning of prohibition, marijuana possession was one of the most unfair and unnecessary crimes to punish. Non-violent offenders found themselves fined or jailed simply for having a small amount of cannabis for personal consumption.

But this is an sector that by its very nature needs a touch of over regulation in its infancy , just, we’d suggest, to cajole the black into the grey economy and then hopefully into a place where it benefits all rather than the few.
