HOW HAS HICK ADDRESSED POT? If President Obama can commute the sentences of 46 non-violent drug offenders, then why can't Gov. John Hickenlooper pardon all non-violent drug (marijuana) felons? Sens. Cory Gardner and Michael Bennet have co-sponsored a bill in Congress that would allow marijuana dispensaries to legally do business with financial institutions in the state. What has Hickenlooper done to address the issues associated with the legalization of recreational marijuana? What about a special session to review sentencing laws as a starter?
