Inside the legal crusade against Colorado’s marijuana laws

[n2doc]

ALISON STEWART: Adam Hayward is the sheriff of Deuel County, Nebraska, which is right by the state line with Colorado. Sheriff Hayward says his work hasn’t been the same since Colorado legalized recreational marijuana.

SHERIFF ADAM HAYWARD: Keep it over there. It’s still illegal here. We don’t have a choice. We have to enforce the law.

ALISON STEWART: The sheriff says he’s arrested all sorts of people carrying marijuana back from Colorado along Interstate 76: teenagers making weekend runs to Denver and once a 67 year old grandmother. With each arrest the sheriff collects more and more marijuana. It is cataloged and then stored in the Deuel County jail cell.

SHERIFF ADAM HAYWARD: Now we keep our evidence here.

1. Sounds like the sheriff supports the Mexican drug cartels!

2. That 76 pounds they picked up came from an illegal operation.

Definitely had nothing to do with CO legal pot.

In fact, anything over 7 grams came from the black market, not the legal shops. I'd say not much has changed for them Colorado has always been big on producing illegal pot, even now.
