After sending out some information about the Federal Heights City Council votes on marijuana law last week, I heard from at least two different friends about the need and good benefits of marijuana for medical needs.
Here's a link to information about medical marijuana in Colorado (supplied thanks to Pat Mendoza):

You'll see that Adams County has about 300 registered medical marijuana users, which is about 7 percent of the statewide total.
By the way, last week, the Federal Heights City Council voted 4-1 to make the penalties for less than an ounce of marijuana possession up to $500, and 4-1 to make the penalties for drug paraphenalia possession up to $500.
