Colorado Town Mulls Marijuana Issue

ORG XMIT: COGYP501 In this Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009 photo, a group of sign-waving supporters for Measure 2F, a reform to decriminalize private possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults 21 and older in the Town of Breckenridge,  urge people to pass the measure as they wave signs at motorist  in Breckenridge, Colo. A measure before Breckenridge voters in Tuesday's municipal election would legalize possession of smoking paraphernalia and up to 1 ounce of marijuana. Pot possession would still be a state crime, but town police officers would have to take users to the county sheriff's department to be cited.
