Cue the fanatical pro-marijauna element of this site in 3,2,1...
Having soiled their home states, liberals head for red states where they vote for the very policies they made them leave their homes.
Welcome to Obamaland 2012. :D
Exactly. Keep the masses pacified so they don't rise up.
I’m shocked! Shocked! to find that there is pot smoking in Denver.
You could get stoned just walking on the downtown streets back in the 60’s. Smelled like burning hemp everywhere.
Many professional organizations and law enforcement agencies use as a disqualifier to membership/employment prior use of drugs, or at least anything more than infrequent "experimental" use in the case of pot with law enforcement. Since it is now legal, will the pressure be for these orgs to soften their requirements for membership/employment? After all, "it's legal now." Will pot-smoking teachers now be about to demand employment on par with non-drug users?
And any professional orgs who maintain their standards are going to face a massive number of lawsuits now, "because it's legal."
This isn't a slow slide into oblivion, it's a rocket propelled shot.
What does it mean?
It means that the quality and speed of counter service at most fast food establishments is going to take another nosedive.
It means nothing at all WRT who is toking.
Those that wish to toke are already toking, and those that do not are not.
What it means to Organized Crime is something entirely different: They have suddenly lost a major source of income, and will be looking to replace it with something else.
I thought this law still had to go through judicial review. Did Chickenchoker jump the gun?
He’s up for election in two years.
States are supposed to act a laboratories; let’s see how it works out.

Part of me wants to move to colorado and get wasted for the next four years. If enough of us did that we might flip it from purple to red. Oh wait ... Quite a few leftist druggies will be moving to colorado now which would offset that. Never mind.
Are you stoned or stupid?
The legalization of this ILLICIT DRUG is exactly why I despise LIBERTARIANS!
Alcohol is already a MAJOR problem. It could not be removed from the public during prohibition because it had been socially acceptable for centuries to millenia before prohibition attempted to lessen its use. Getting “on the wagon” just couldn’t be sold. It was too established.
However, Marijuanna is still, for the most part, not a mainstream thing....its use has not been intwined in the social fabric for centuries like alcohol.
It is a SERIOUS MISTAKE to legalize this stuff except for a legitimate medical purpose. I am convinced in helps those on chemo and somewhat on glaucoma....but for recreational use....NEVER should be allowed.
As another poster has mentioned here....this is going to create all kinds of “Under the Influence” problems that won’t be easily resolved.....IT JUST ISN’T worth the headache.
Colorado voters that approved this are idiots.

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.
