Denver is a Drug smoking city

Denver has a Voter approved City ordinance that tells police not to enforce the state law for smoking pot.

When the Democrat National Convention visits Denver next week the count of drug possession for smoking pot (a staple of the Democrat’s) busts will likely go up also.

And the Denver PD is warning the hemp crowd that it is still against the law of the state.

 

Pot smokers who light up during the Democratic National Convention can expect to get busted under state laws, even though a voter-approved city ordinance makes possession of small amounts of marijuana the “lowest law enforcement priority,” Denver police said Monday.

“We’ve always enforced the state statute,” police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. “That was the law before the initiative and it’s nothing new. I don’t know why we’d relax any law.”

Mason Tvert, leader of the group that sponsored the ordinance that discourages marijuana busts, said city officials are ignoring the will of the voters. Last year, the city prosecuted 1,600 marijuana cases, he said, and is on track to bump that to 1,900 this year.

“We’re concerned, during the Democratic National Convention, that they are going to use the law to cite people or detain them,” Tvert said.

I just think this is funny as hell. the goal of the left/progressives is free drugs for everyone….right?
