Mason Tvert, Executive Director for the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol, was on last Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO, and talks about his organization’s success in passing Amendment 64, an initiative to legalize recreational usage of marijuana in Colorado.

It’s fantastic seeing major media talking about cannabis reform every day, but this conversation is special because you have two elite weedists on stage who are really changing public perception and driving change.

For me the huge moment is when Bill Maher, who contributed $1M to the Obama re-election campaign, offers money to Mason twice if he’ll move to California and replicate what he did in Colorado with Amendment 64 in the Golden State, after our Prop 19 loss in 2010:

You come to our state, you do this for us, I will give you money.
