Sensible Colorado is on the move:
A Win for Justice and Compassion
Sensible Colorado is happy to announce that the Denver City Attorney's Office has dropped all charges in the I-100 "Test Case" of Denver resident, Damien LaGoy. Mr. LaGoy was the second "Test Case" of Denver's I-100 law which amended city law to remove criminal penalties for adults possessing small amounts of marijuana. Mr. LaGoy, who uses marijuana to cope with HIV and Hepatitis C, was cited for the possession of a small amount of marijuana in a private residence shortly after Denver voted to legalize this activity.
"Damien LaGoy,
medical marijuana patient and
"Test Case" of Denver's I-100 law."
Sensible Colorado's legal team aggressively defended Mr. LaGoy through several court hearings to achieve this significant outcome. To watch a powerful expose by CBS 4 on LaGoy's case Click Here!
