A Holiday Inn hotel operator in Colorado has filed a federal lawsuit intended to shut down the state's marijuana regulatory system and force the product back into the underground market.

The lawsuit undermines a set of laws and regulations that were designed to make Colorado communities safer by ensuring quality-controlled marijuana is produced and sold by licensed, taxpaying businesses instead of drug cartels and criminals.

Please sign our petition calling on the Holiday Inn operator (New Vision Hotels) to withdraw its misguided lawsuit and urging Holiday Inn's parent company (InterContinental Hotels Group) to support its withdrawal.

We hope you will also join us in boycotting Holiday Inn hotels until the lawsuit is withdrawn — and encourage your friends and relatives to do the same!
