More than 300 Colorado doctors offered their names in support of Amendment 64. The amendment would legalize the possession of a small amount of marijuana and try to set up a regulatory mechanism that would treat it a lot like alcohol is currently treated.

Tuesday's announcement comes on the heels of a decision by the state's chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to urge a no vote. Supporters say they remain convinced alcohol does far worse things than marijuana.
