A measure that would make Denver the first city in the United States to legalize the use of marijuana in such venues as clubs, bars and restaurants is expected to get enough votes to pass, backers and opponents of the initiative said on Tuesday.
The announcement comes amid a string of victories for proponents of medical and recreational marijuana use, with voters in California and Massachusetts approving ballot initiatives legalizing recreational use of the drug last week.
The Colorado measure will permit private businesses to allow marijuana use by adults in designated areas with certain exceptions. Backers of the initiative said it would make Denver the first city in the country where cannabis enthusiasts can enjoy the drug socially without fear of arrest.
"This is a victory for cannabis consumers who, like alcohol consumers, simply want the option to enjoy cannabis in social settings," Kayvan Khalatbari, a Denver businessman and lead proponent of the so-called I-300 measure, said in a statement on Tuesday.

So its not about facts and accuracy its about somebody's definition of a "fair fight."
Won't someone please think of what's best for jmorris? He didn't deserve any of this.
I use the site as an AC with all the downsides that come with it. Jmorris uses the site logged in with all the downsides that come with that.
By the rules of the site, that is fair.

Offering facts is one thing. Plumbing the depths of hypocrisy by cursing someone out over their posting history while posting as AC is just stupid.
You speak as if you're a member of this community when you don't even sign your posts. You don't have a leg to stand on.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

I don't see you trying to change the rules of the site. You don't have a leg to stand on.

Is it your contention that jmorris's choice to log in puts an obligation on people criticizing him?
That's seems incorrect.
