Smart Colorado

Description

• Smart Colorado is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to protecting the health, safety, and well-being of Colorado youth as marijuana becomes increasingly available and commercialized. Smart Colorado is a project of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center.Colorado voters passed legalized recreational marijuana in the fall of 2012. Despite the lack of definitive research and data, Amendment 64 required Colorado lawmakers and regulators to make far-reaching decisions within a highly compressed timetable. These officials took these daunting responsibilities seriously, despite this incredible research vacuum. While we wont get the full picture of how the states children have fared under legalized marijuana for many years, there are initial significant areas of concern.Smart Colorado formed in March of 2013 when the public health and safety of Colorado youth ranked last out of six priorities during the marijuana policy making process. Since then, Smart Colorado has raised public awareness on the marijuana being sold in Colorado today, which is a stronger and harder drug than ever before; raised concerns about marijuana commercialization and its impact on Colorado youth; highlighted current challenges of enforcement and preventing youth diversion; and initiated, advocated for, and influenced important policies to protect Colorado youth.
