At least two Colorado counties are planning to opt out of some of the provisions allowed for in Amendment 64 that legalized the use of small amounts of recreational marijuana.

Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.) are asking the White House to respect the voters of Colorado and Washington, who decided that recreational marijuana use should be legal.

In a letter sent to President Obama, they wrote:

President Barack Obama's county-by-county victories in Colorado virtually mirrored the vote to legalize marijuana use in the state.
