In Colorado, Legal Pot Puts Pot Magazines In Porno Purgatory

New laws making Colorado the nation’s “first legal, taxed and regulated market for recreational marijuana” have also put such magazines as High Times behind the counter with the porno mags. As a result, High Times and two other print publications have sued the state for violating the First Amendment right to free speech. The law in question specifically shields anyone under the age of 21 from being exposed to marijuana advertising, but the plaintiffs argue that, while the stated intent of Colorado is to “regulate marijuana like alcohol,” no such restrictions apply to alcohol ads.
