Oklahoma, Nebraska suing Colorado over legalization of marijuana

Good for them. I oppose dopertarian standards like pro-dope laws.

However. I would be hard pressed to see just how these neighboring states have been harmed.

“Good for them. I oppose dopertarian standards like pro-dope laws.”

I would like to know your prescription for people crippled and hurt with chronic pain. Opioid therapy? How would you help these people? How would you protect those people? People with spinal injuries and bone deformities and nerve pain that never stops.

What’s your solution for them?

Yes, by all means lets continue to waste billions of taxpayer money for the war on a marijuana that was a legal cash crop and played a significant, positive role in this nation until 100 or so years ago when it magically became a vile, evil weed.

If they could demonstrate a specific case where a driver, driving under the influence of cannabis traced to Colorado, caused death, injury, or property damage, that threshold would be met.

I am harder pressed to find any authority to pass such ‘laws’ by the Fed. gov’t per the Constitution.

When does the ‘reciprocity’ (aka re-affirmation of Rights) of the 5 States w/ Constitutional carry kick-in Oklahoma/Nebraska?

A couple of ways (I know an attorney in western Nebraska).

A lot of people are buying dope in Colorado, driving to Nebraska, and then selling it. It has also led to an increase in drugged driving arrests (over 200 percent from before the legalization), and all the other social costs of high drug use. This county is rather thinly populated and next to a reservation. Lets just say the increased strain on the limited county resources was not appreciated.
