Martin O’Malley To Hold Marijuana Legalization Listening Session

Governor Martin O’Malley will hold a marijuana legalization listening session in Denver, Colorado this Thursday, September 17 at 9:30 AM MDT.

O’Malley has said that Colorado’s decision to legalize marijuana should be considered “a laboratory in democracy.”

What: Listening Session on Marijuana Legalization

I love that the East Coast politicians are still wanting to have honest discussions about maybe considering some changes much later on. Recreational retails sales begin in Oregon on Oct 1st. Discussions have been completed.
