Beauprez made clear in several comments in
this article that he opposes legalized and regulated marijuana.
When asked, "Should we repeal the law allowing legal sales of recreational marijuana?"
"Yes, I think we're at that point," Beauprez said, "where the consequences that we've already discovered from this may be far greater than the liberty, I guess, that the citizens thought they were embracing."
how much of a threat is Beauprez to the pot industry in Colorado? if he wants to prioritize it, he very likely could shut it down, but money does talk, and legal marijuana does help the pols balance budgets with as much as $100M/yr in tax revenue and more in saving on law enforcement.
