The Colorado Amendment 64

Colorado Amendment 64, passed in 2012, legalized the recreational use, possession, and regulation of marijuana for adults aged 21 and older. It established a framework for licensing and taxing marijuana businesses, and set rules for cultivation and consumption. The amendment aims to reduce criminal penalties, generate tax revenue, and regulate the industry to ensure safety and quality. It also allows individuals to grow a limited number of plants at home. Overall, it marked a significant shift toward legal, controlled access to marijuana in Colorado.
