At first blush (and second) (and third), marijuana advocate Mason Tvert and Jon Caldara, frontman for the conservative Independence Institute, are strange bedfellows.
But today, they're partners in a legal love match. They're among the plaintiffs suing Colorado Secretary of State Bernie Buescher over laws intended to prevent fraud when collecting signatures for ballot measures. (Read the document here.) And arguing on their behalf is none other than attorney David Lane, who's represented everyone from controversial former CU prof Ward Churchill to Ballon Boy dad Richard Heene.
"When the government puts down too many hurdles for you to jump over to engage in free speech, it's a violation of the First Amendment," Lane says.

I don't smoke it, but it's significantly healthier than cigarettes or alcohol. What's the fucking problem?
