The campaign director for Amendment 44, a statewide ballot measure seeking to legalize marijuana use for adults, on Tuesday threw down the bong . . . er . . . gauntlet to Mayor John Hickenlooper and Pete Coors.
The challenge? For every beer Coors or Hickenlooper drinks, Tvert will take a hit of marijuana - ostensibly to demonstrate that marijuana is safer than alcohol.
Tvert argues that Hickenlooper is hypocritical for making his fortune by opening Wynkoop Brewing Co. and allowing the Great American Beer Festival to be held in Denver but opposing a city ballot measure that sought to legalize pot use within the city limits. That ballot measure passed.
Won’t work. I’d bet both men have a well developed tolerance for thier drugs of choice. What they need to do is switch beer for pot, then go head to head. I’m sure the results would be much more amusing.
