Mason Tvert Quotations

I don't believe it had to do with problems with the search. We believe it had to do with the pressure put on the city by people who voted in this initiative.

If the elected officials in this city don't have the guts to stand up for the individuals they represent, we have no choice but to take up the fight on behalf of these individuals.

Marijuana users do not commit crimes, other than using marijuana.

We plan on bringing out an army of new voters in this state and mobilizing students across the state to get involved here, collecting the signatures and passing this initiative.

There is little doubt this same individual would not have been pulled over if his car was displaying a Coors Light logo.

Times are changing and the policy needs to change.

The federal government, the DEA, handles just one percent of marijuana cases in this country and they would have absolutely no way of controlling the private adult use of less than one ounce in the privacy of someone's own home. This would in fact change state statutes and lead to marijuana being legal under state law.
