But he said his crews complained about coming across needles, drug paraphernalia, feces and were concerned about theft.
“You don’t know what’s going to happen,” Cirbo said.
In a recent email to a downtown customer, Cirbo wrote, “We made a decision as a company not to do any work downtown almost two years (ago). The technicians were tired of stepping over needles, human feces, vans getting broken into, etc.”

It passed last election, 2020. By amendment.
The waning days of the Republic.
Actually, in 2022, marijuana remains illegal in all 50 states (all 57 states if you ask Obama). It is illegal under federal law, which the Supreme Court has held preempts any legalization by the individual states. It just isn't enforced, unless the feds want an excuse to search your home or your car.
Texas??
Only if solar powered.
Air-conditioning desert?.......how ironic
“In Tennessee the sales of something called CBD was legalized. It is Hemp in some form and I think it is supposed to reduce pain.”
Well, it doesn’t get you high, so it’s easier to get legalized than actual pot or THC products. Unscrupulous businesses will still advertise it with a bunch of pot leaves and such to get suckers to buy it from them thinking that it will get them high though.
Try B-12 with folic acid patches. Fixed me right up.
I see you didn’t waste any time posing the Florida state flag on your profile page
The Democrats are turning our cities into insane asylums.
That’s MEDICAL marijuana.
All because of the Ultra MAGA crowd, right?
My kids live there. I used to love that place, Colorado, more than Denver. The left is ruining the place like they do everywhere they settle.
It works for dogs who stress out in thunderstorms or when there are fireworks close by. I’ve never had to use for my dogs but a lot of people do.
In 1960, what you describe was the entire USA. The VN war really started the counterculture ball rolling. The black riots in the mid 60s were a disaster, too. The Pill really caused morals to decline through “recreational sex.” And the nation was still feeling rather muscular in 1960, only 15 years after the end of WW II, and Pax Americana was the rule.
Mark Steyn’s excellent book “America Alone” discusses how two World Wars so damaged Europe that people became fatalistic, ennui set in, and birth rates fell below replacement in many places. Some of the same fatalism took root in the USA, too.
I went to engineering school at the University of Missouri in Fall 1969 and we were really a secluded, rather peaceful place blissfully far removed from all the VN War riots and unrest.
I’m surprised it took them so long.
When will the racist scream racism?
I think that legalizing is what makes it become a problem that is brought out in the open for all to see and it ushers in a desire to allow all drug use.
No place that has made it legal has become any better for doing it.
That said, drugs aren’t the only reason cities are becoming filthy and embarrassing.
was a time a mailman/tv installer could walk thru any hood with immunity cause they could not deliver welfare checks or kill yer tv
now days, they’re fairgame...
Interesting (in an analytical way) to watch the demise of the city. I remember staying in Denver a few years ago and had dinner at the bar near my hotel and chatted with the bartender. What he said was that since marijuana became legal, there were a number of distinct trends... the first was that alcohol sales were going down and the second was that people were becoming lazier and less enthusiastic or committed about working (and there was more homelessness). Staff would come and go out of their place like a yoyo.
