DENVER — Colorado already is being sued by two neighboring states for legalizing marijuana. Now, the state faces groundbreaking lawsuits from its own residents, who are asking a federal judge to order the new recreational industry to close.
The owners of a mountain hotel and a southern Colorado horse farm argue in a pair of lawsuits filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Denver that the 2012 marijuana-legalization measure has hurt their property and that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors.

Now the doper libertarians/liberals, are trying to start limiting and restricting the growing of hemp.
Interesting.
A horse farm calling another industry “stinky”? The irony is rich!
I find that libertarians love legal dope for many reasons.
One big reason is the bigger government it brings them.
C’mon folks your argument is stinky and unsavory; if that works every city; county dump in the country could be declared illegal, in fact some on could sue the horse farm for the very same reason.
“(What’s interesting is the reaction you get from certain “conservatives” when you assert that the GCA is unconstitutional because its “prohibited persons” sections makes it an ex post facto law and therefore the prohibition against [ex-]felons owning firearms is indefensible.)”
It’s also interesting when you point out that laws disenfranchising ex-felons violate the 14th amendment.
Saw an article about this new Hi-Test stuff and it supposed to cause all kinds of psycho problems.
I think they referred(reef’erd)to it as skunk something so I did a search
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_(Cannabis)
I live in dairy/horse country and I will take the “stink” of livestock crap over a make me gag skunk “stink” any time.
Just me though
High grade weed stinks.
And the people of CO voted to amend the State Constitution to legalize. The anti-crowd couldn't pull it off, so now they are crying about it. This is my frustration with the "religious right". They don't want big government, unless it's THEIR big government...
Like I mentioned above, the right is real good about screaming about big government, unless, of course, it's THEIR big government.
“Amendment X. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Thank you. It’s our business in CO to deal with MJ grown, sold and consumed here. Not a Federal Judge with a big nose. Sissies running to the feds to restore their view so they don’t have to look at a MJ facility on racketeering grounds make me angry—especially when they pervert the Constitution to do that.
I don’t care for MJ or all the hoorah that surrounds it. I don’t like that stupid people move to CO to get their fix. But I like the feds butting into our business even less.
However unsavory one might consider legalized marijuana, it would be wise and correct for conservatives to support Colorado in this case, thereby opposing the claim that federal law has primacy over state law Iin areas not clearly defined in the Constitution as the purview of congress.
If they want to ban drugs they should have to do it via an amendment like they did with booze.
“I will take the “stink” of livestock crap over a make me gag skunk “stink” any time.”
Lol - to each his own.
“I find that libertarians love legal dope for many reasons.
One big reason is the bigger government it brings them.”
The WOD brings just a bit of government involvement with it.
IOW, she would presumably object to any other use of the land that might impact her view.
Suspect the horse farm owner is an elitist who feels entitled to have the government prevent others from productive activities so it won't hurt her view.
Much like Teddy objecting to wind farms off Cape Cod.
Nobody cares about freedom when people are doing things they don’t like.
Slaughterhouses are smelly too, but the difference is that they produce useful and necessary products.
No society in the world would ever be hurt by not having any marijuana production.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
A further reminder. The Tenth amendment was never intended to comprehend indulgent drug usage or bizarre sexual practices. As John Adams pointed out:
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Yep. This is very rightfully a state issue. If we allow the federal government to trump these at will we don't have a 10th Amendment.
Guns are necessary for the security of a free people. Drugs are useful for the pacification of slaves.
Drugs suit the interests of Tyranny. Guns do not.
The 10th Amendment got replaced with emanations from penumbra years ago.
