"Do I even need to say it?"
Gosh. Ya think? Who saw that one coming?
It’s starting to look as though this “recreational” marijuana bull**** is about to get ugly. Good luck Colorado! Don’t forget! “Legalize it and then tax the hell our of it!” LOL!
"Do I even need to say it?"
Holder likes none of this.
I’d say if there are “cartel hits” on such stores it’s likely in fact it was HOLDER’S GUYS.
Like Fast & Furious, yup.
OH SURE THE HITS WILL BE FROM “CARTELS”.
GayMuzzie is mobbed up on the sly with the Sinaloa.
If someone bursts in and robs these places and kills people inside, I’d say it’s the DOJ, even if they’re not in uniform.
Boy, I sure am glad that the Colorado democrats voted to pass those gun control bills last year.
At least we’ll all be safer now that people can only carry 15-round bullet clips (That are unusable after a single use), have to run CBI firearm background checks to sell to your neighbor in his garage, and PAY for the check.
/Sarcasm
Anyone know how I could go about finding all firearm-related crimes that have occurred since these STOOPID gun control laws were enacted July 1, 2013? Is there a law enforcement site to look these stats up?
Colorado PING to George76
Legalize home grown weed and all these clowns go out of business.
I doubt the consumers of overpriced legal marijuana will put a dent in the Mexican’s wholesale trafficking business model.
Pot shops and their zonked out customers have more to be worried about from takeover robberies by assorted local criminal lowlifes than any international cartel.
Yeah, like the way the Mafia went out of business after Prohibition was repealed in 1933, right?
The joint is the Girl Scout Cookie of the future. I can see it now, little girls showing up at the door selling refer. They can also have a line of accessories, bongs, lighters, pipes and rolling papers.
What a harmonic convergence it would have been if the state had succeeded in taking people’s guns away.
Consider the source of the “warning”. The DEA and other assorted TLAs clearly think that legalization is going to be cutting into their budgets and relevance.
Cartels in Colorado? Sounds like a law enforcement/ national security issue to me. Wait, what’s that, Hillary, Holder and O-bunghole supplied the cartels with weapons? Never mind.
The drug war continues...... only bloodier.
What does it matter now? They are already here and the US government is worried about Conservatives and Tea Party “Nazis”!
The Mexican cartels disappeared from Colorado. They can’t compete with the legal and high quality of pot here. Any story to the contrary is hype and stupidity.
Putting the cartels out of business would be a good thing.
That’s not happening (yet), but if enough states legalize, it will start to affect the cartels a lot.
Kind of like producing our own energy hurts that other cartel.
Who cares if the Mexican cartels are upset that Americans take over their business? Are we supposed to be afraid to do something because it’ll upset the Mexican criminals? What’s to stop them from also extorting restaurants, liquor stores, candy stores, etc? Let them work on importing watermelons or something else, I don’t care.
Anyone who thinks billion dollar cartels are just going to whither away is a damn fool.
Liberals keep expanding the list of illegal substances, so there is always a market!
The prices will drop from competition once supply meets demand and the cartels will have no hold on the business.
This sounds like a guy with a financial incentive in fighting pot - his job - making nonsense commentary on the situation.
Considering that these pot shops are heavily regulated and taxed, it is more accurate to say that the pot industry switched cartels. Now that the government is involved in ensuring the success of this tax base, I don’t think the Mexican cartels have a chance.
