Ballot initiative for NV in the 2016 (s)elections. Sold as a means to "regulate and tax" marijuana. Guess in order to tax it you gotta make it legal. "Don't drink and drive." "Make it home, don't get stoned." Possible traffic violations for going 150 on I-80. 150 ft/hr that is.

Our first stumbling block is that the state-sponsored growers and sellers cartels have kept prices artificially high (no pun intended), so we still have a black market for the green herb. That also means, as we’ve discussed here before, that tax revenues are not meeting expectations.

"Artificially" high? The market is what the market will bear. Who in their right mind ever thought that pot would be cheap to buy legally especially since it's being taxed? Are cigarettes cheap? Legalization is and was a bad high idea pushed and sold by leftists.

This may be the perfect way to keep liberals under control as long as they don’t try to drive.

My view is that legal grass will be like casinos and lotteries.

Way too much gravy for state legislators to resist.

Get in early and grab the dough from the surrounding states.

“Keep ‘em stoned and ‘tax the hell’ out of ‘em”. - The politician’s creed.

There is a company that has been in Colorado for 20 years, and was called The Green Herb. Herbal supplements, health consultations, Chiropractic, things like that.

This year, they had to change their name to New Genesis Health, because too many people mistook the old name for a pot dispensary.

Once marijuana is legalized it’s only a matter of time until growing your own is also legal. Just like making your own beer, wine or liquor. The revenues will plummet to nothing. Even potheads can figure this out.

Bible Scripture makes it crystal clear that in these final days of this dying world that drugs will be huge among people. That people will simply be drug induced zombies. It’s here and coming faster.

Mr. Green may not find any problems but with edibles this stuff is so powerful it is putting people into the hospital.

Even a NY liberal journalist who is well known to FREEPERS came here and was practically paralyzed for days in Denver after eating a piece of a brownie.

I can’t think of her name.

Was it Maureen Dowd or Tina Brown?

I’m waiting to hear of the first encounter by cops with people selling “loosies” joints.

The Colorado marijuana law will be on the ballot again, this time for repeal.

A very astute, conservative, attorney in Denver has a daily talk show. He is going to be a prime moving force when the repeal occurs.

Colorado voters will repeal it by a significant margin when this happens.

Substitute the word booze for pot in this thread. Makes little difference.

I didn’t see any mention made of the problems this legal pot has brought to the states bordering Colo. in the area of law enforcement. Maybe these states can send Colo. the bill for some of the problems their idiots have created?
