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.
