Colorado: Campaign Pushing For Public Use Gaining Traction

A pro-marijuana group says it has enough signatures to get a public consumption question on the city of Denver's November ballots.

The Limited Social Use campaign is pushing a measure that would allow pot use in bars and other public places.

The measure would call for users to bring their own weed and comply with clear-air laws. That means marijuana would have to be edible, or if smoked, consumed on an outside patio away from public view.

The group says it has collected more than 10,000 signatures. They needed 4,700 signatures to get the question on November's ballot.

According to a news release, campaign organizers along with some Denver business owners will hold a news conference outside of the City and County Building Monday afternoon, before they turn in their petition to the Denver Elections Division.

If passed, Denver would become the first American city to allow public marijuana consumption. Clubs and bars would have the final say about whether to allow pot use.
