DENVER (AP) -- A proposal to make pot legal for recreational use in Colorado faces another legal challenge.
Tax activist Douglas Bruce of Colorado Springs is prepared to file a challenge Monday. He says the proposed constitutional amendment to make pot legal for adults over 21 doesn't properly state that it would raise taxes.
A proponent who brought the legalization proposal says he thought the amendment was clear that, if it's approved, pot would face a 15 percent excise tax.
There's no immediate estimate on how much legal pot could raise in Colorado. Supporters of the amendment need to gather some 86,000 signatures to put the question on 2012 ballots.
A spokesman for the secretary of state's office says that because the pot language was tweaked last week, Bruce's challenge isn't too late.
