DENVER (AP) -- Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson is visiting a Denver medical marijuana center and plans to endorse a Colorado initiative to regulate pot like alcohol.

The former New Mexico governor is expected to visit the dispensary Monday afternoon with medical marijuana industry representatives and Sensible Colorado. The group is backing the initiative known as Amendment 64.

Johnson is expected to announce his support for the initiative and talk about how Colorado has regulated the medical marijuana industry.

Colorado voters approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes in 2000.
