LEGISLATIVE PROCESS SHOWS COLORADO TO BE MODEL OF POT LEGALIZATION

 From page 2A In March, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed Senate Bill 15, 
which reforms how pesticides can be used on marijuana. The original 
rules simply included a list of which pesticides could be legally 
used to grow marijuana. This new legislation instead provides a list 
of criteria that all pesticides must pass in order to be legally used 
to grow marijuana. The interesting thing about this legislation is 
not exactly what it entails, but how quickly it traveled through the 
legal process to become law. It was introduced in the Colorado Senate 
on Jan. 13 and by March 9 the bill was signed and made law. This 
shows that when legislation is very bipartisan, it can quickly travel 
through the bill process.

Colorado is lucky that we have both parties' support to be a model 
state on how the legalization of marijuana should be done.
