People are now coming for weed instead for gold!

Never seen anything like it since the land rush boom ended in the 1890s.

Its a step up from being a street bum.

At least its not the Dust Bowl they’re migrating from.

This will spread itself out when the rest of the country accepts pot as legal. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

On the good side of things, by Colorado being a magnet for such trash, it does potentially help cleanse my own state of these cretins. On the bad side, I always did like Colorado as a state, and I hate seeing it so degraded.

Hey, they’re working and paying taxes instead of sleeping under bridges and panhandling.

Things could be far worse.

They aren’t working, though. They have to be residents of the State for 1 year before they can work in the industry. And they think they are a good match for the industry, but they won’t be able to keep those jobs anymore than they could keep a “normal” job, because... well, potheads are more interested in getting and staying high than they are in showing up on time and acting in a professional manner.

Man, I came to Colorado because they’re supposed to have premium weed here. Best deal was they’ll pay me in dope to grow it. Now I can be permanently stoned all the time. How cool is that?

My half brother in Denver says all this has actually driven-up the price of illicit weed and helped that business for some reason.

Does Marijuana Reduce Stroke Risk? May 15, 2014

New research has emerged that may shed some light on the conundrum surrounding marijuana and strokes. While a French study linking cannabis use to strokes appeared in the media last month, a recent investigation into the effects of marijuana in relation to these cerebrovascular accidents, commonly referred to as strokes, indicates marijuana users are actually less likely to suffer the wrath of this disease.
