What happened in the early 1980s when states did not abide by the federal drinking age of 21? They experienced a 10% loss of highway funding. What will happen to Colorado if we are known as the marijuana state? Will the federal government start withholding funds? Will government contracts be more difficult to attain? That is the point of this article.

In addition, Colorado was one of the early States to legalize alcohol and it too was a Colorado Constitutional amendment very similar to amendment 64. The States spoke out against alcohol prohibition and when in direct conflict with the US Constitution which has a lot more weight than the 1972 Controlled Substance Act. Don’t let the people like Dan May lie to you, be educated and know the truth.
