Martin O’Malley Connects With Pro-Marijuana Activists

DENVER — When Colorado voters cast their ballots in November 2012, a proposal to legalize recreational marijuana won by a larger margin than President Obama achieved in winning the state. Since then, it has become one of the hottest political and social issues in this swing state, becoming a new source of jobs and millions in tax dollars, but bringing along with it worries about stoned drivers and teenagers’ abusing the drug.

So when Martin O’Malley, the Democratic presidential hopeful and former Maryland governor, swung through Colorado on Thursday, he sat down for a marijuana round table to discuss Colorado’s experiment with legalization. How did Colorado keep it from flowing into other states? Was the use among teenagers rising? How many tax dollars was the state collecting? How many scofflaw marijuana businesses had the state shut down?

1. He is a fine man and an excellent candidate.

I support Bernie, but O'Malley is a very close second.
