"Heed voters on pot"
The vote this week by Denver's Marijuana Policy Review Panel urging the city to stop convicting adults for simple marijuana possession reinforces the message voters have twice sent to local officials. It's a message law enforcement should heed.
The people of Denver have made it clear they do not want their limited law enforcement resources used to prosecute simple marijuana possession.
The people of Denver are smart. Now, if we can only get the DA's office to join in, Denver would be a better place to live.
If Denver DA Mitch Morrissey fails to change his office policy, he needs to be replaced by someone that will.
