Nederland Legalizes Marijuana

Nederland became the second municipality in Colorado to legalize marijuana within its borders on Tuesday night.

The mountain town's residents went further than Breckinridge, which last year legalized possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, and by a vote of 259 to 218, removed all criminal penalties against buying, selling, possessing, consuming, growing and transporting marijuana for anyone age 21 or older.

This is a good news story, one of the few in this day and age, but I hope other cities follow suit. The feds can only enforce laws if they have the cooperation of local police, in the case of marijuana it seems that the momentum is on the side of the people and against the government.
