“Does the new law at least require that buyers must be 21 years of age as we do with alcohol or tobacco use?”
Yes, but good luck with that. Just a couple of days ago a Longmont couple took their baby to the ER because they say she ingested a pot cookie the baby “found” on the ground( like pot cookies are just lying around everywhere on the ground around here like they were manna).
Had my first illegal cig at 14. (gateway drug)
First illegal drink at 16.
First illegal pot at 19. (45 years ago)
Quit cigs at 32. It was not easy and took multiple attempts.
Still drink lightly, just because I like a little red wine. Hate feeling drunk.
Quit pot at 43 (after 24 years) for 10 years due to raising a child. No problem, just stopped. Now smoke socially, can take it or leave it, and do so at will. Don’t like getting real high, like the taste and always liked smoking, used to smoke pipe tobacco as well as cigs. Don’t care anything about the edibles and all that.
I’ve run my own businesses since I was 24, retired at 60, no pensions, just my own savings and investments. Never understood the idea of being just being an employee. THAT leads to laziness. I had to produce or suffer the consequences.
My doctor says I’m radically healthy for my age, but then I’ve always exercised, been a runner (up to half-marathons), and lifted weights for 45 years.
None of the above made me lazy. Maybe I’m an exception.
There was a video a while back of a couple of losers giving a toddler a puff of marijuana. I hope that the state gets really serious about enforcing all the laws that also apply to alcohol such as being twenty one, not being allowed to drink in public, no drinking or pot on the job, especially jobs that involve public safety, not selling pot close to schools or churches. Anyone who gives pot to a minor should be dealt with severely and that means anyone under the age of twenty one.
