Liquor stores are cash business. But it is the dope shops getting robbed.

It isn’t the cash.

Sister in law (a non-cannabis user) lives in Boulder, Co. She’s lived in Colorado for 25+ years. A couple of months back she was in to visit & I asked her what if any differences she could see since cannabis was legalized. She assured us she has seen zero change in the community since cannabis was legalized. She has kids in public school & in college. If this kind of stuff was really happening to the degree the article claims, she’d see it.

Vote Trump 2016

> I do not know if the “official” statistics support it, but my own observations both professionally and personally over the past few years are that the crime situation in Washington has gotten much worse since marijuana was legalized. Whether it is marijuana or the bad influence of Obama’s policies I do not know for certain.

I stopped visiting Colorado after they legalized marijuana and turned it into a cesspool where all the addicted young freaks came to get high legally and ruin the very nature of a state I used to so dearly love. I bet the type tourism they have nowadays is nothing like they had in the past but I bet they love all those dank crisp tax dollars that reek of marijuana that's sitting in ther banks, that is is they're not having to use it to clean up all the pollution created by their high tourists and new criminal activities.

Someone in this thread claimed something similar, then later recommended Boulder and Denver be nuked.

> I agree legalizing drugs was suppose to make it so crime would go down because the criminals were to stoned to want to commit crimes.

I thought marijuana was legalized to turn people into non-combative Sheeple who wouldn't disobey their government overlords and just go along with NWO without putting up a fight as long as they kept them high.../s

As a LEO, I have never been called to a bar fight where everyone was smoking pot.

I am fortunate to own two homes. Each has a neighbor I rarely see outdoors. One is a long-time millionaire-toker, who at 65, is now on oxygen.

The other is a renter-kid of 26, who came outside yesterday to ride his motorcycle through our tiny community park, to disappear again indoors and stink up the neighborhood with MJ smoke again. With 40 million Americans not working, I have to wonder if EBT cards account for America's sloth.

It's advocacy.

I see this on another forum, but that advocate is a firefighter. (So both are public servants, with ties to public service unions).

all of the lowlifes from the surrounding states who were chronic potheads.

Key word here is "chronic." It implies at least minor addiction. And, maybe, major addiction. They are so "chronic" they move to another state!

Kind of like saying someone is a "chronic" alcohol drinker or a "chronic" nicotine user. They are addicted.

“Drug addiction, which is something you advocate, is the closest thing to absolute authority over someone’s life, second only to demonic possession. “

You crack me up. You write fallacies, regurgitating the propaganda of the prohibitionists who’s fake war on drugs has cost society billions of dollars & thousands of lives. I use cannabis daily as medicine & I am so thankful to God in Heaven for giving us this wonderful plant.

Vote Trump 2016

“Why isn’t medical weed sold in pharmacies like other medical drugs?”

Because the federal law currently will not allow that. When cannabis is no longer a Schedule 1 drug it could very well happen.

Vote Trump 2016

So you are repeating a non-sequitur to say what exactly?

Why do you need to encourage others to use it? Why don't you just smoke it and shut up about it?

I have friends in their 50's who smoked heavily some 20 years ago. I don't know when they stopped.

They look HORRIBLE, period...
