The emotional reaction may not have been warranted.
Yes, but the number of people “bumping bumpers” has skyrocketed in drivethrus....
I tend to agree with at least decriminalisation, and definitely am opposed to the War on (Some) Drugs, but all the same, I can’t help reading this and thinking, “Correlation. Causation. Not the same thing.”
LOL who was expecting that?
In other news the average interstate speed is 30mph.
The propaganda-addled nanny staters don’t care. Marijuana Prohibition is dead. They’ll just have to deal with it.
More foreign students have jumped out of hotel windows than ever before. I need a more sources.
This is a prime example of corporate cronyism and racial prejudice tag team fascist oppression! The AMA hates cannabis because most folks with minor aches and complaints can alleviate them with a drug that can readily be had out of a small flower garden.
The timber industry hates it because it WILL easily replace pulp wood for paper!
The closet racists like prohibition because it's really good odds that any minority person might have some on their person. Ooops you have dried flowers, you are now a slave of the state. See how easy that was? I smell merryjewanna, your 4th amendment rights just vanished. It's ok they don't deserve the same rights as boozers!
“It appears it did not turn out to be the disaster that many predicted.”
We’ll see, I mean, why would the government lie?
Wait, I thought it was just legalized this year? Can someone help me out with an explanation, is just the stores that opened this year, or I’m just cracking up?
So they stopped drinking alcohol and their driving improved on pot?
That doesn’t sound very scientific.
As if 0.08 causes every driver "problems" or a six-pack container with one or two empty slots being ruled an "open container".
It's all about procedural crime.
And someone who ODed on a THC laced chocolate bar (that was supposed to be "virgin") had the level of THC in his blood measured. Would that stay elevated for weeks?
Lol
Heads explode
Keep looking - there’s more problems in Colorado than non-drivers with the munchies.
House explosions have gone through the roof (literally). “Dopin’ Dans” (remember Robert Crumb?) are no longer content to light up and toke away. Now, they extract and concentrate the resin by cooking - with propane camping stoves. When done, they turn the torch off (so they think), then retreat into drug induced stupor. An hour or so later, they light up a cig, and, BOOM!
Or, they knock the stove over and it starts a fire. [Dude! It’s gettin’ really hot in here!]
What a deal - we produce virtually nothing in the USA, need illegals to mow our lawns and work construction, and on our way to turning most of the rest of us into permanent couch potatoes.
I think someone’s blowing smoke here —
Homelessness rose in potlorado, meaning potheads are going homeless there.
It’s not too hard to see that perhaps these same potheads are going without cars, too.
This lowers the chance of potheaded driving, which results in the lower highway fatalities.
One thing I can tell u for fact.
Most of the arrests in Fort Collins/Loveland is of drug dealers driving in from Greeley to make sales.
The next biggest is theft, again drug related driving in from Greeley.
Companies in FC are having problems finding people who are cheap AND can pass drug tests.
Many people here at FR believe that the iron fist of government is the solution to everything involving drugs.
Yes because being stoned enhances reflexes exponentially. You can favor pot legality without abusing the scientific method.
OK, chilren, let’s do some math. Pothead hippies take over the arts, media, academia and two generations later, conservatives find their butts getting kicked, scratching their heads and wondering if they really are obsolete. Two pothead phone phrackers invent the personal computer and here we are typing messages on Free Republic. Am I getting through to anyone here? So where do you think we should put the equal sign?
SMARTER - FASTER
more are just “chillin out” instead of gettin on the road /LOL
