"DENVER (AP) -- Residents of the Mile High City have voted to legalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana for adults. Authorities, though, said state possession laws will be applied instead.
With 100 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday, 54 percent, or 56,001 voters, cast ballots for the ordinance, while 46 percent, or 48,632 voters, voted against it."
So what the hell? It's legal under Denver ordinance to have up to 1oz. of marijuana, but people can still be prosecuted under federal and state laws? Kudos to Denver, but what's going to happen when the first guy in Denver is caught withi less than 1oz. of marijuana? Are there any court rulings on things like this?
