It should be left to the states.

And in this case - Colorado made a bad mistake. From the Governor and now sheriffs, people are waking up and admitting legalization was a bad error in judgment.

The governor's beef was that being the first state to legalize meant uncharted waters; he also said “we're making real progress” on fine-tuning pot policy, and “The studies we've seen of the people in Colorado [show] the people who were smoking before it was legal are still doing it, and people that weren't smoking it still aren't.”

Agree.

Support appears to be as strong or stronger than when it passed 55-45% in 2012 =>

Poll: Colorado residents still back legal marijuana (58%-38%)

Feb 24, 2015

More than two years after Coloradans voted to allow recreational marijuana use, the state’s residents continue to stand firmly behind keeping the drug legal, a new poll found.

The survey, commissioned by Quinnipiac University, found that 58 percent of Colorado voters support keeping pot legal, while only 38 percent are against it.

The result featured significant gender and age disparities. Voters ages 18 to 34 favored it overwhelmingly, 82-16 percent, while 50 percent of those ages 55 and older were against it, with only 46 percent in support.
