Last October The Denver Post editorialized against Amendment 64,
saying it was "the wrong way to legalize marijuana." Last week
the paper editorialized in defense of Amendment 64 (which won by
10 percentage points in November), condemning an attempt by
Greenwood Village, a Denver suburb, to abridge rights that are
now protected by the state constitution. As I reported last
month, the Greenwood Village City Council responded to Amendment
64 with an ordinance that purports to ban possession of
marijuana and "marijuana accessories" on public property,
including streets and sidewalks. Among other things, the
ordinance makes it illegal for residents of Greenwood Village to
transport seeds, seedlings, or growing equipment (including
equipment mandated by another ordinance), even though Amendment
64 allows people to cultivate up to six plants at home. The
ordinance also bars residents from taking homegrown marijuana
elsewhere, even though Amendment 64 allows people to possess and
share up to an ounce at a time. Look
