Out of all of the things out there, I think pot is the least of our worries. In the news, we have at least one new child porn case each day, gunmen running in to schools and killing people, and Bush.

Denver Councilman OK with pot referendum

'DENVER (AP) - With Coloradans poised to vote on whether marijuana should be legal in the Centennial State, the chairman of the Denver City Council's Public Safety Committee says he's in favor of legalization.

Democrat Doug Linkhart says he hasn't seen proof that marijuana is harmful and he's in favor of Amendment 44. That amendment on the November ballot would legalize small amounts of the drug in Colorado.

Linkhart is a councilman in a city that got national attention last year when voters passed a city initiative legalizing possession of less than an ounce of pot.

Linkhart says he doesn't smoke marijuana or encourage anyone to use the drug, but he thinks it's a personal choice. However, he says, no matter how popular the measure is in Denver, it probably won't pass a statewide test at the polls.'
