DENVER – Little Spider Creations had been making scary creations in Denver for 24 years, but the owner of the company says legalizing recreational marijuana changed everything. He recently moved his company to North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Federalism at work. The rest of the country can thank Colorado for attracting the potheads. Too bad we couldn’t do the same with gay marriage and Obamacare thanks to the legislative activity of the SCOTUS.

Exactly! Either you believe in states' rights or you don't.

ex-employees can get welfare and the tax payers can support their habits

Plus they got their Obama/Pelosi-care so they can stay home and write poetry and make art n stuff...and nachos too, of course!

i’m wondering if the guy who posted the article realizes it- the article is dater April, 2015...

Maybe he was posting drunk - which would be A-OK because this country has a long cultural tradition of drunkenness. Or something.

I guess the bad news about legalization is so few and far between that it has to be recycled.

Talk about culture shock.

It is still illegal to smoke weed in public in Washington State

Apparently it is not illegal in Colorado

[Yashcheritsiy]

Good question about drug testing. Because if marijuana is legal, would it become illegal to discriminate against those who use the drug; illegal to do drug testing for pot????

Not sure about that, but it's not illegal to fire employees who come in drunk, even though alcohol's legal.

The governments have found yet another way of making money.

Better the government than murderous cartels.

A statewide initiative, approved by voters last year, legalized recreational use of marijuana but bans its “open and public consumption.” Marijuana advocates say they weren’t expecting the definition of “public” to encompass private businesses and large, ticketed events where alcohol flows freely.

Just wait. One Colorado pothead who gets his job transferred to another state will claim "equal protection" to get stoned nationwide, and with the unconstitutional precedent set with marriage, he'll likely win.

Interesting..

The story is from April, but if you go to their website it still shows them as being a mile high.

So to speak...

I don’t think so, but I know it was not an amicable breakup.
Apparently she found a new “partner” soon after relocating to Colorado.

[God luvs America]

maybe the dude who wrote the article was high on weed and got April mixed up with September??

See post #65 - the news was posted here in April.
