Former Congressman Tom Tancredo sent a letter this week to certain Republican state lawmakers outlining his support for a ballot measure that would legalize the sale of marijuana.
“I have decided that it presents a responsible, effective and much-needed solution to a misguided policy,” he said.
“Eighty years ago, Colorado voters concerned about the health and safety of their families and communities approved a ballot initiative to repeal alcohol prohibition prior to it being done by the federal government. This November, we have the opportunity to end the equally problematic and ineffective policy of marijuana prohibition.”
