CRAIG, Colo. (AP) - The Craig City Council has passed a temporary moratorium on private marijuana clubs in town while the state decides what new regulations are needed under Amendment 64.

The amendment approved by Colorado voters in November allows for legal possession of small amounts of marijuana under state law, but legislative and regulatory issues need to be resolved before retailers can start selling the drug for non-medical uses. The law also restricts public use of marijuana. In the meantime, some Colorado entrepreneurs have moved to open private clubs where people can pay a fee, bring their own marijuana and smoke with others.

The Craig Daily Press reports that an ordinance preventing such clubs from opening in Craig for now passed unanimously this week.

Yes, Please, I do think this stupid law was passed by a fringe group, or fraud. I think this is being demonstrated by these communities banning dope clubs. If it was so "popular" as the pro pot groups claim this wouldnt be occurring.

Maybe it took passing 64 before people could really see what kind of foolishness it is. After the election the deceptiveness used by the pro 64 crowd was revealed. Prisons may be run by the gov't. but many businesses profit from them. Alcohol has always been abused, so has MJ, especially, by those who profit from its abuse. The truth about those who are laughing all the way to the bank, is, that it is the MJ pushers and dealers that are doing the laughing.

How funny! The Amendment 64 liars must be beside themselves. I still think the "dope law" was passed by either a fringe or all out fraud. Way to go Craig!

Daniel, no bad for them and their local economy! When will people wise up and realize they have been lied to about marijuana by the feds their whole life and now their trying desperately to keep the reefer madness alive! Why is it that America has the highest non-violent prison incarceration rate in the world for minor drug related offenses, it couldn't be that Americas prisons are run as privet business could it? It couldn't be that the big liquor industry is welcoming marijuana into the party could it? Don't be fooled by the dead horse prohibitionists they don't have your best interests at hart and as long as you believe their lies you are the fool while they laugh all the way to the bank!

Good for them. Such a shame that this is still an issue. When will people drop their addictions for something more useful in life? No doubt they will forever suffer.
