Kathleen Chippi poses in her shop in Nederland, Colorado
Kathleen Chippi poses in her shop in Nederland, Colorado March 14, 2015. Veteran pot activist Chippi seems an unlikely candidate to have voted no when the state legalized recreational weed in 2012. She says the measure was "fake" legalization because marijuana remains prohibited by federal law, and users, including medicinal pot patients and their caregivers, still risk having their lives ruined by prosecution and jail time. But in what appears to be a largely symbolic move of her own, Chippi is now leading an effort to have Nederland, population about 1,500, declared the world's first "sanctuary" for therapeutic and spiritual consumers of the drug.
