Doug Robinson on Drugs

 

 


More regulation AND treatment to control drugs

We can do better by implementing effective treatment strategies to reduce opioid addiction; putting in place a cohesive regulatory structure for marijuana which will drive tax compliance and take untested, potentially dangerous high-potency products off the market; promoting natural high alternatives to our youth through school programs.

Do better by preventing addiction & promoting natural high

Our current leaders seem to focus on whether or not drug usage is increasing. The fact is that the level of youth use is unacceptably high. We can do better for our young people and all Coloradans by:

Children need to be protected from the dangers of pot

With the passage of Amendment 64 in 2012, Diane and other "moms" asked the question--who is looking out for our kids as marijuana is commercialized in our state? The answer was no one. To solve this problem, Smart Colorado was created. The group, which now has thousands of members, is dedicated to protecting kids as today's high potency marijuana is commercialized. We have played an active role in educating the public, lobbying for protections and engaging on a very difficult issue.

Opposes recreational marijuana

What sets him apart, Robinson said, is his newcomer status, even though he helped run Romney's unsuccessful 2012 presidential campaign in Colorado and served as a leader in an anti-recreational marijuana organization that lobbied lawmakers.

Opposed Amendment 64: youth usage of drugs is too high

Q: Did you oppose amendment 64?

A: I did. I actually played quite a role in the campaign [opposing legalization of recreational marijuana]. And we lost. At the time, I didn't think it was the right thing for Colorado and for our kids. But 55% of the voters said that it was; now it's in the state Constitution. That's the law. A lot of the conversation among the politicians has been, has youth usage gone up or down since it passed? But to me, I think that's really irrelevant. Youth usage is too high.

Ran anti-recreational marijuana group, Smart Colorado

Robinson is yet another candidate with business experience who touts his status as an outsider in Colorado politics. A recently-retired investment banker, Robinson played a key role in running the anti-recreational marijuana lobbying group Smart Colorado. When it comes to the issues facing Colorado, Robinson told the Denver Post he'd focus on the state budget, which he called "a mess" and wants to improve by cutting spending.
