The new year in California brings broad legalization of recreational marijuana a much-anticipated move two decades after the state was the first to allow the use of the drug for medicinal purposes. California joins states such as Colorado -- as well as Washington, D.C. -- where pot is permitted for recreational purposes even as the federal government continues to regard the drug as a controlled dangerous substance, like LSD and heroin.

I'm praying so much that Trump unleashes his DEA on the dispensaries in my state for violation of federal law.

I know several habitual marijuana users. None of them make much of an effort to get to work on time, or do more of an effort at work than to just keep themselves from being fired. Pot and losers. Sounds like a perfect match-up for that once great state.

Is this what take effect means? Yesterday people could buy cannabis with a doctors prescription at any of the millions of dispensaries everywhere. Today they are all shuttered, their low level employees all laid off, and tomorrow only two dispensaries in the incorporated city of West Hollywood will be open anywhere in the Los Angeles area. The rest are all shut down for fear of arrest until they get their city permits which could take weeks. CA messes up everything it attempts. Even this.

Now I know why all the traffic lighted signs on the freeways are showing this little rhyme:
Drive High
Get a DUI

Colorado's car crash fatalities have increased by 40% since they allowed pot.
Good luck with that CA.

Follow the money. At least a short term flow of cash to the states until they tax it so high, the dealers are back.
When have the progressives ever cared about the deaths of the unwashed. They will just replace the votes with illegals.

I know several habitual marijuana users... I know only two: both are younger than me, and tethered to oxygen bottles.

In many service jobs, they are retained by supervisors and/or managers as sources of weed and sometimes other drugs. At least some of those pushers also carry concealed weapons. Police are reluctant to try to do anything about them because of the popularity of marijuana.

Look at the target demographic of marijuana advertising around resorts in Colorado. That includes the business community. Many of the bosses have been getting high.
