Between 1998 and 2000, Colorado citizens got initiatives on the ballot to legalize medical marijuana. In 2005 students from two different colleges got an initiate on the ballot and succeeded to legalize recreational marijuana use in the city of Denver, after two college students died from alcohol poisoning. In 2010 Colorado Legislature passes HB10-1284, which legalizes full-scale dispensaries, marijuana cultivation operations and manufacturers for marijuana edible products. On November 6th, 2012, Colorado became the first state in the world to vote in favor of ending marijuana prohibition with about 55% of the Colorado electorate voting in favor Amendment 64.
