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.

They already are.

Help me remember - which political party is constantly screeching, “It’s for the chiiiiiiildren!”

Had to laugh. Money going to schools? my foot.

Indeed... this money grows weeds, it does not make oil pipelines. It is backed by death.

What gives you the impression they aren't and haven't been doing ever since prohibition?

We are arming BOTH SIDES in the WOD! The govt is making bank hand over fist! That's why they threaten to MURDER YOU for your flower garden!

Once prohibition ends the price and sales on cannabis will take a nose dive. Prohibition is the economic lifeblood of the cartels and the drug nazi death squads!

CA has been raking it in since they enacted medical pot in 1997. Last I saw it was $100M/yr. So where are all the murders associated with the trade?

We now have 22 states and DC with medical mj, yet crime is falling and highways are safer than ever.

You haven't a clue here. Government has been making billions off drug profits and making it illegal. They win either way here...This is so obvious. And what do ya think the drug cartels do with their money? They buy restaurant slop joint chains and hotel chains, and greedy mart franchises etc., etc. Government makes money off all that too.

Ya need to get educated here nick.
