Colorado, 2014:
Violent crime rates are down 2.2 percent over 2013...
Traffic fatalities are down 3 percent over 2013...
In Denver, burglaries are down 9.4 percent, and "overall property crime" is down 8.9 percent over 2013.
$700 million in sales, $47 million in tax revenues, $8 million allocated to drug prevention programs, millions saved in marijuana cases dropping by 90 percent (there are some limitations that are still enformced, but only 1400 cases in 2014, compared to 9100 in 2013).

What other lies do you have?

Ah, yes, your "vast majority" lie...

"State Patrol tells us troopers handed out more than 5500 citations for driving either while drunk or high. Of those citations, 354 were related specifically to marijuana."

cite

You clearly must be a liberal, because you use little other than emotions and lies to support your inane views.

Personal experience of seeing POTHEADS for 50+ years is all I have to know that it’s the SCOURGE OF SOCIETY. No other articles needed ... :-) ...

I don’t want POTHEADS anywhere near the steering wheel of a car! But most of the time, they’re too paranoid to even go out their door ... perhaps only to go out to get their disability money ... LOL ...

It won’t be a problem. Every view you have of pot and pot users is an absurdity. No offense intended, it’s just the truth.

Then the POTHEADS I’ve directly seen for 50+ years have been ABSURDITIES ... which I guess I would agree with ... LOL ...

OH ... and by the way ... I really do EXPECT the POTHEADS who are posting on Free Republic to support more widespread usage! It’s only natural ... :-) ...

I guess you think I haven’t met any in the 45 years since I first tried pot. Whatever.

Yeah, maybe but I don’t see portugal as a model of self control. I think Colorado is just novelty and tourists. I think the attraction will fade

I don’t encourage anyone to use it and never have. Not even when I was a teenager. You will find no post in my 15 years here suggesting that anyone should use pot, alcohol or any drugs. And in 15 years I’ve never been asked my opinion on that.

We have another Republican senator on board! =>

Nevada Senator Dean Heller announced today he is cosponsoring a bill to let states like Nevada determine their own medical marijuana laws.

Its called Compassionate Access Research Expansion and Respect States... or CARERS Act.

Of course not. Pot is the one topic that some (so-called) conservatives accept straw man arguments, ad-hominem attacks, ludicrous propaganda, lies, distortions, evasions and the intentional ignorance of facts as legitimate discourse.

No, that analogy doesn't hold at all. I made no statement about my opinion or personal views so an analogy based on opinion and personal views is a false syllogism. I neglected to mention those in post #58.

That might be true if I were listening to others in articles and accepting gossip ... except that’s not the case. I’m going by the POTHEADS I’ve seen directly and over a period of years.

There’s not anything anyone can do to discredit my own eyeballs. These POTHEADS are the scourge of a viable and vibrant society!
