what does this have to do with Ships or Maritime trade? I don't get it tepictoton.
Criminal law is not AKA Maritime law unless it's a crime that happens while shipping on the high seas.
So What do you mean? I don't get it. Do you live on a ship ?

Colorado Candidate Suggests Repeal of Amendment 64
Tags: Amendment 64 repeal, bob beauprez, colorado recreational marijuana
Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez (pictured) suggested during a debate Thursday evening that voters should be asked to repeal recreational marijuana.
That assertion drew a swift condemnation from the Marijuana Industry Group, one of the leading state cannabis associations, which called Beauprez’s suggestion “misguided.”
“Repealing Amendment 64 would kill tens of thousands of jobs, destroy thousands of businesses, and return us to a failed policy that emboldens the black market and drug cartels,” said Michael Elliott, executive director of MIG. “Coloradans want this. Marijuana legalization passed with 55% support.”
Elliott asserted that since recreational sales have begun in Colorado, the state has seen drops in teen marijuana use, traffic fatalities and violent crime, while tourism and the economy have been booming.
Beauprez, who is trying to unseat Gov. John Hickenlooper, made the statement after saying that he had heard concerns from healthcare professionals about possible neurological damage to young adult brains from marijuana use.
Hickenlooper also made comments this week that cast a negative light on recreational cannabis, saying he thinks the state was “reckless” when voting to legalize marijuana in 2012.
Colorado you've come a long way. Don't go back in time. Don't vote for this man.

Tell that to the Judge when he asks 'how do you plead?'.
The Gov is probably uncomfortable on this topic since he opposed decriminalization in CO back when he was Mayor of Denver. He's running for re-election and likely wondering how many votes he's gonna win or lose, depending on what he says about CO's groundbreaking legalization.

Never believe them at all, ain't you seen The Culture High yet?
Anyway here's his clarification of his reckless statement:
"I was asked if I thought it was [emphasis Hickenlooper's office] reckless to legalize marijuana in Colorado -– perhaps risky is a better word. While I believe it was risky for Colorado to be the first state to step away from a failed federal policy given all of the unanswered legal questions and implications, the adoption of Amendment 64 by Colorado voters sent a clear message to the federal government that marijuana should be legal and regulated."
"Is it risky now?" the governor asked. "It is certainly less so. We have a robust regulatory enforcement system that would not have been possible without the partnership of the marijuana business owners, activists, law enforcement officials, regulators, parents, policy experts and stakeholders."

I sincerely hope they get lucky and come up with a long term system that covers all the bases. I say lucky since government, whether federal, state, or local, rarely gets it right the first time. If problems are few then opponents won't have much to grab on to, and other states will be drooling over the boost to the economy.

In other words, "Nothing has been found, but we have concerns, and because we are doctors talking to politicians, OUR concerns are more important than everyone else, and more important than the actual FACTS that young adults will damage their brains on alcohol far more than on cannabis."

It's a total red herring. There are countless things that "do damage" or otherwise alter the developing brain. Not only substances, but things like environmental deprivation which this candidate, being a member of the GOP, will help to perpetuate. Besides, if he's concerned about young people accessing cannabis, legalization is the answer. So basically this guy's just a big stupid bag of dicks.
