NEW YORK, Dec. 18 -- The Drug Policy Alliance issued the following news release:
Today, Nebraska and Oklahoma sued the state of Colorado over its marijuana legalization law, saying the law has created an increased law enforcement burden in neighboring states. The suit, filed by Nebraska Attorney General John Bruning and Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, claims federal marijuana prohibition preempts Colorado's law. Colorado voters decisively adopted Amendment 64 in 2012.
