CO: Marijuana magazines not porn
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers wrote yesterday that marijuana-related magazines like High Times are not the same as pornography. The statement is a major blow to a law that would have forced cannabis periodicals off newsstands in the state.
Recently passed Colorado law HB 13-1317 would have placed High Times next to Penthouse and Hustler, behind the counter in liquor stores. High Times and the American Civil Liberties Union sued, saying the bill violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

It's that kind of stupidity and baseless fear that turned marijuana into the monster they portray it as. One would think that allegedly intelligent public officials would remember what there equally-phony prohibition on alcohol created back in the 1920's.
Was just going to say just what 'A.Levy said' said.

One question. Smoking is bad for you and require a Surgeon General warning (and more). They're even proposing to put a pic of damaged lungs. So when are they going to require pot sellers to put the same warnings?
