LEGALITY OF DENVER'S 4/20 EVENT

Re: "Don't get worked up about 4/20," Jan. 15 editorial; and "Law
must apply to 4/20 event," Jan. 18 letter to the editor.

Councilman Charlie Brown is fully aware that the intent of Amendment
64 was to "regulate marijuana like alcohol." He states that there is
"no asterisk" in laws to make exceptions. However, open consumption of
alcohol, which is also illegal, is allowed several times a year in
Civic Center. Isn't this an asterisk, Mr. Brown?

As for an idiot gang banger firing shots at the 4/20 rally last year:
Shots are fired monthly in LoDo, but the bars there aren't shut down.
I guess there is too much money to be made there.
