Our opponents are fond of saying that we must keep marijuana illegal so that we don't "send the wrong message" to teens.

But the only message our current laws send to children is: "We do not care that you may eventually attempt to purchase unregulated marijuana from potentially dangerous people in an underground market." Teens currently say that it is easier to purchase marijuana than alcohol or cigarettes. If we regulate marijuana and force sellers to ask for proof of age, like we do with alcohol and cigarettes, we can restrict teen access to marijuana.

We hope to educate hundreds of thousands of Coloradans about how regulations will help parents who are trying to keep their teenaged children safe. We have unveiled a new billboard with the phrase, "Please, card my son."

Please help us educate Coloradans by signing up on the right and sharing the billboard using the tools below.
