Voters in the ski resort town of Breckenridge, Colorado legalized marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia by a nearly three-to-one margin on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It is the first municipality in the United States to allow paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs and bubblers.<\/p>\n

“[The measure] passed 73 percent to 27 percent,” ABC 7 News in Denver reported.<\/p>\n

“‘This votes demonstrates that Breckenridge citizens overwhelmingly believe that adults should not be punished for making the safer choice to use marijuana instead of alcohol,’ said Sean McAllister, a Breckenridge attorney who proposed the ordinance,” ABC continued.<\/p>\n

“Possession remains illegal under state law, but Breckenridge Police Chief Rick Holman said his department will ‘still have the ability to exercise discretion,'” Colorado’s Summit Daily News added.<\/p>\n
