About the same amount as there was before it was legal.

Dopehead nation. Governments profitting from peddling dope, growing itself bigger and bigger with tax receipts. How lovely. America’s becoming a really evil place. Hard to imagine this is the same country I was once willing to give my life for.

Now now. Many pubbies puff, too. It may not make the Dem voters, rather it just makes them dim and dazed.

Let me guess. They become Log Cabin Republicans?

You see every angle of a ‘modern’ car’s body hast to be beveled down so that it resembles an egg shape, losing ALL personality. That way the car’s MPG will increase a whopping .0001.

Denver is known as the “mile high” city for a reason.

The illegal pot you buy on street corners is much cheaper. True! In Colorado legal pot goes for 2x the illegal price and the illegal stuff is prolly as good or nearly so....I suppose. The pot heads can render judgement on this

I have to go there on business and wonder how many stoners are out there driving.

Exactly, recreational pot for recreational car crash homicides.

“I have to go there on business and wonder how many stoners are out there driving.”

The same number driving in your area right now.

“Coloradans are now much easier to control too.”

How’s that? We just got rid of one item the government can control and have been using for no-knock raids and other government control activities.

Do you not see that anything the government can outlaw is government control, so removing the outlaw status removes control?

This is not what the Founding Fathers envisioned for this country. America is taking the plunge into slavery and it isn't pleasant to witness. It is what happens when you accept the curse of servitude over the blessing of liberty. The foolish turn to drugs to numb their already dimmed brains and their darkened conscience. And the wicked in leadership glorifying the profits of our cultural demise should hang their heads in shame!

All I can say are other areas to follow soon too. You’ll be too high on average to care unless the 0 administration removes your access to munchie items...lol

That’s just neurotic paranoia talking. Anyone that wanted pot before got, including your kids. All this does is neuter the government from sending so many people to prison.

They should add the money they raise busting people for driving while under the influence or with an open “container”.
