Colorado state government is gradually becoming a drug cartel. If you think Mexican drug cartels are bad, wait until the government and big business are making big time money from it.

I wonder if there has been a bump up in Colorado tourism due to drug tourists like that stupid Ariana Huffington who ate an entire pot candy bar Miss PAC-MAN style?

That’s right up there with Afghanistan and the heroin. Same kind of cash crop.

Colorado will rue the day they made this legal. The consequences are only beginning to show and will snowball in due course.

this is great for the people of Colorado! Soon they will lower or eliminate all taxes, afterall, politicians NEVER spend that money without reducing tax rates, do they?
Pardon me while I stop laughing.

Yes, how DID this country ever make it to 1914 without giving practically unlimited power to the federal government to keep people from smoking pot? We have had 100 years of the WOD yet all we have to show for it is draconian laws that affect practically every part of our daily lives.

Oh, but they are just whetting their beak, compared to what will come.

BTW, the same people who gave us Prohibition gave is the WOD. At least we had enough sense to repeal Prohibition.

Uh, 18 million is hardly a “pot of gold” for a state that will spend $33,000,000,000 this year. It’s nothing more than chump change.

That's the main kind of tourism now. After that, the new gun control laws, many other new regulations, high fuel prices,...

I thought the revenue would be much higher than that (no pun intended).

And, FWIW, legalizing drugs is where I and the Libertarians part ways. Don’t waste your breath trying to change my mind, either.
