No budging on marijuana for Colorado military recruits

The illegality of Colorado's legal marijuana could come as a surprise to a new generation of military recruits, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman fears.

Smoking pot is a bar to military service, and waivers that once allowed former users to sign up are evaporating as the military cuts its rosters in response to a shrinking budget.

Coffman, a Colorado Republican, has heard the military's concerns with the Colorado and Washington laws for the drug in his post as a member of the House Armed Services Committee and says the uniformed services won't budge on their stance.

"We're the first state to step out with legalization of marijuana, but the military isn't stepping out with us," Coffman said in a telephone interview from Washington.
