[JuanGutz]

Didn't think it would but I'm happy it did, for now anyways.

Wont take affect in legislation until July though.

From what I've read, once its made official its passed it'll be legal to smoke but will not be available for months.

 

[ReefCheif]

Nope, illegal until Governor Hickenlooper signs it in. Law wont change until its written in and signed. And still against Federal law. A step in the right direction none the less. Luckily im legal under amendment 20 already.

Just a. FYI at my work we had a meeting the other day and even thought this passed if a random drug test shows signs of it our work instructed us that the person will still be terminated. Federal law trumps state so it's still illegal to consume. Just thought I would give a heads up

 

[Cake_Boss]

We had a talk at my work too. My bosses will both be smoking, so they said we could too

 

[Smiley]

I saw Colorado is an "at-will state" so it wouldnt matter if its legal or not... if they want to fire you, they will whether you passed a test or not...

Yep, that's why I voted against... I still can't smoke it... Federal DOT

 

[reefkoi]

its a step, I mean the constitution isnt going to be ammended overnight, it takes many states showing we want it and then the feds should omit that silly thing out

I was under the impression the Governor's signature was only needed if the amendment was proposed and passed by congress. Since this is a ballot initiative that the people vote, the Governor nor State Representatives can veto it.

Yup

Yes, we are technically an "at-will" state...however, the majority of people "fired" are with cause and if not it would open a door for litigation. "At-will" isn't really that simple. Violating a drug free policy however is an easy show-cause.
