DENVER — Go ahead and bust out the Cheetos and Goldfish, Colorado. Marijuana is now legal in the Centennial State.
Just over a month after the citizens of Colorado voted in overwhelming favor of Amendment 64 to legalize marijuana for recreational use, Governor John Hickenlooper signed the Executive Order that makes an “official declaration of the vote.”
What does it mean?

I didn’t say God wants us to smoke anything.
Cannibis in any of its varieties does cure many cancers, whether it is consumed or smoked. The oil is all you need.
Capsicum also cures cancer, so I suppose we can do without the ‘pot’ but why?
What berries are poisonous?
But we don’t make plants illegal because they’re poisonous. In fact, you can go to the local garden center and buy many of them. Also plenty of plants that aren’t edible have had many useful medicinal properties.
I didn’t say anything about smoking it. There are many other ways to utilize the plant.
What’s the rationale for having it be illegal?
>> “What’s the rationale for having it be illegal?” <<
.
U.N. Agenda 21, which seeks to murder 2/3 of the world’s population. That cannot be done without blocking the use of hundreds of healing herbs that we use in our food.
Privet, Holly berries, Jerusalem Cherry, Daphne berries, Doll’s Eyes, the berries of the Yew tree and shrub, to name a few.
Bull crap.
I’ve seen birds eat all of the above with no ill effect. Most of them do not seem to even have any distinct flavor that would cause anyone to want them, but they probably are healing substances.
Thats also why you don't feed chocolate to dogs.
Like alcohol?
You need better arguments than that you don't like the people that you perceive are the users of marijuana.
“Cue the fanatical pro-marijauna element of this site in 3,2,1...”
Cue the idiot that thinks “3,2,1...” is still clever somehow.
Ironic that liberals think making guns legal means murders everywhere while Republicans think making pot legal means potheads everywhere, as though their own kids aren’t smoking pot in high school and college already.
The above statement is laughable to anyone under 30 (I'm 42 myself. And once again I will point out because you pretty much have to, I've never even tried marijuana - ever.)
Which is why fighting a futile rear-guard battle against marijuana legalization is just going to cause the GOP to lose more elections and by a wider margin.
You SERIOUSLY would want all of your kids' teachers to be absolute teetotalers?
Given they are teaching kids I'd consider any teachers that DIDN'T drink at all dangerously insane.
Don’t feel too bad, you are not alone. There are other people out there who just don’t understand numbers either.
See post #50.
Your hysterics are almost enough to drive me to the side of the liberalterians and I can't stand most of them.
This should be a state matter; not a federal one as the powers not delegated to the feds are left to the states.
If Colorado wants to allow mj fine by me, that's will of the voters. Whether it be because they want to smoke it themselves, are tired of wasting tax dollars on enforcement, or are tired of seeing narco-terrorists amass huge amounts of wealth and power because of artificially high prices because of .fedgov involvement.......I don't care. It doesn't affect me. Start taxing pot and potato chips. If they voted this way solely for the ability to tell .fedgov to kiss their @55e55, hey GREAT FOR THEM.
Am I a liberaltarian? No. I'm a conservative - I believe abortion should be illegal because it is the killing of an innocent life and we all have the right to life. Do I believe in queer "marriage?" No because it's intent is to grant special rights to certain people and to undermine the nuclear family and religious institutions within the US.
However, if someone wants to get stoned, fine by me - your rights stops when they infringe on mine and mine stope when they infringe on you. If you want to waste away smoking pot and eating cheetos; go for it. All I ask is you don't make me subsidize it and if you break the law while under the influence, you pay the penalty the same as anyone else.
If you want to drink floor cleaner and shoot heroin - be my guest. I do think that employers should be allowed to discriminate against you, you should not be allowed to donate blood/organs etc.
If you hate it that much there's always NYC.....they've pretty much banned smoking 50ft from anywhere and possession of a 320z soda is a felony.
The fedgov should not be dictating what substances are legal and illegal. And if the people voted themselves the ability to smoke marijuana, hey good for them.
“There are other people out there who just don’t understand numbers either.”
Well, you certainly proved that you don’t. What a juvenile idiot you are.
The correct word is 'melodrama', but given the subject at hand, that sorta fits.
Boy, this is a rich thread.
ALL prescription drugs don’t work at all - that’s your position?
I'm pushing 60 and haven't smoked the stuff since I was a teenager, but I always did love the smell of it. Still do, but I wouldn't touch it with your lips.
