I have to go there on business and wonder how many stoners are out there driving.

Someday young men will compete on producing free, cheap, Arab, Muslim, Cannabis.
Having said that, I am amazed politicians/pencil pushers are so surprised it really IS a cash cow.
NOW ... if Detroit would retool the 57 Chevy Bellaire using modern material and accoutrements but keep it aesthetically identical ...
Coloradans are niw much easier to control now. They’re also getting fatter and lazier and much too docile to rise up to oppose the government plus they are fleecing them much better than antiipated and collecting a lot more sales tax on junk food items created by sales after midnight.
So. Government is primarily concerned on the tax revenue they can get from mostly anything.
Billions in taxes on the cigarettes they hypocritically condemn.
Millions in taxes on the pot their Federal Government has spent Trillions on in an effort to eradicate along with other drugs.
Millions in taxes on the gasoline the SUVs/Truck guzzle which they condemn.
And on and on and on. Nothing is out of the realm of ‘illegal’ IF there are millions/billions in taxes to be had.
Here’s a thought, Government. There have been 55 million abortions since Roe vs. Wade....think of what you could have gotten had you TAXED each abortion at 10 or 20 or 30 or more percent. You guys are missing out on a real cash cow.
The allure of mo tax money to squander is irresistible to these greedy shortsighted idiots/
This is why more states are going to legalize it (UNFORTUNATElY!!!)
These legal marijuana shops should be called Democrat voter factories where they manufacture new ones. New docile idiots Obama voting morons.
I live in Kansas. I was sitting in a courtroom yesterday waiting on a judge to sign some orders. She was doing a hearing in another case where mom had accused dad of using drugs. Judge had asked dad under oath whether he used drugs and he said no. Then she ordered a drug screening within one hour and said oh, wait, I was in Colorado last week so I will test positive. She was furious. So that is going to be the excuse now in Kansas for testing positive. BTW, he still perjured himself but claims since it’s legal in Colorado its no big deal.
John Denver (RIP) predicted it years ago: Rocky Mountain High.
The day will come when Coloradoans regret this decision, and maybe even repeal it.
What did the dopers pay for an ounce prior and post legalization? Just curious.
The headline implies that this tax money has already rolled in to the government. The story says that these numbers are estimates from the politicians. Pure BS. Where did the potheads get all this money to pay these kinds of taxes anyway?

Look at the crime increase in Colorado. That’s the answer.
Excellent, I wonder how much the star would profit on the sale of heroin and ruffies?
I was in Denver for a few days this week. A report on the news yesterday said all the tax revenue from the legal pot would be used to clean up the problems caused by it. Also, supporters said the black market pot would dry up and it is actually exploding. There were reports of lines to buy illegal, tax free pot in some city parks.
So the politicians are excited about the tax revenue from pot so they can spend the money on drug abuse programs?
Dopehead nation. Governments profitting from peddling dope, growing itself bigger and bigger with tax receipts. How lovely. America’s becoming a really evil place. Hard to imagine this is the same country I was once willing to give my life for.
Denver is known as the “mile high” city for a reason.
They should add the money they raise busting people for driving while under the influence or with an open “container”.
