DENVER Colorado officials asked again Wednesday for a federal response to the state's recent marijuana legalization vote.
Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder that Colorado needs a response "as soon as possible" about how the Justice Department will respond to Colorado's marijuana vote. Republican state Attorney General John Suthers also signed the letter.
Hickenlooper and Suthers reminded the Justice Department that while federal officials have maintained their right to enforce the Controlled Substances Act, the administration has also turned a blind eye to many medical marijuana users and sellers.
"We need to know whether we can expect any different posture regarding marijuana grown and distributed for recreational use," Hickenlooper and Suthers wrote. "Specifically, we need to know whether the federal government will take legal action to block implementation" of the marijuana measure, "or whether it will seek to prosecute grow and retail operations."
