Quote of the Day

The City Attorney’s Office gave the City Council an update Monday on Amendment 64, which legalized small amounts of marijuana in Colorado.

By coincidence, the presentation happened the same day that Gov. John Hickenlooper declared the voter-approved change part of the state constitution.

At City Hall, Kyle Sauer, an attorney in the corporate division, gave the council a presentation with a lot of information.

Among the facts: Amendment 64 allows individuals to grow up to six marijuana plants in an enclosed, non-public, locked space.

But the amendment raises other questions, including what happens in a group living situation, Sauer said.

“The example that came up as well in a college town like we have here: You have a lot of people living under the same roof. A fraternity house that has 50 people living in it. Can they have 300 plants in their house? These are things that are up in the air.”
