MARIJUANA/POT LAWYER IN BERGEN AND PASSAIC: POT IS LEGAL IN BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO!

In a remarkable development, the town of Breckenridge, Colorado, a well known ski destination, recently passed an ordinance that decriminalized the possession of small quantities of marijuana/pot.  The ordinance was spear-headed by a popular poll that indicated that 71% of the town's voters would approve the ordinance.  Similar measures are underway in Derango and Aspen, which are two other resort towns.  While members of the Breckenridge town counsel are adamant that the ordinance will not make Breckenridge a "little Amsterdam" one of the biggest novelty sales item in town is a T-Shirt that says, "DUDE, I THINK THIS WHOLE TOWN IS HIGH."

Unfortunately, this rather ambitious effort to legalize marijuana/pot on a local level overlooks the fact that possession of the substance in any quantity violates state and federal statutes.  To think that state and federal law enforcement agents will turn a blind eye to marijuana/pot use in Breckenridge is to blink at reason.
