First it was just the Bay Area in California. Now you communists have taken over practically the whole country.
That's an A+ rant, grandpa!

Fueled by one of the world’s largest tourism industries, Nevada is preparing to do the same on July 1. A May report published by Gov. Brian Sandoval’s task force on marijuana estimates that up to 63 percent of recreational buyers will be tourists.
“Everything we know shows that millennials are very pro-marijuana, and that’s the new marketing push,” said Nevada state Sen. Tick Segerblom, a longtime marijuana advocate. “This is a game-changer for Las Vegas and tourism here as far as I’m concerned.”
“Amsterdam on steroids,” he added.

Do you have the same opinion of Tobacco and Alcohol users?
Not to mention the millions on brain altering prescriptions?
Do their actions also fuel BDS and TDS?
I know I wouldn’t want to waste time & $$$ in a casino while high. Like you said, I would prefer to go to a show if I HAD to be in Vegas.
I feel sorry for you & your WOD brethren. You make these outrageous claims that have no basis in fact.
Fact: Cannabis was used as medicine for over 100 years in this country before it was wrongly made illegal in the early 1900’s. Our nation grew in stature & power during those years if you know your history.
Following the Constitution is never bad for America. Federal prohibition is not in keeping with the Constitution. You’re view is a statist’s view & very anti-Constitution
No matter how much you hate cannabis & those of us who use it for various reasons, no one is going to make you use it and America will continue to prosper, especially after 8 years with President Trump at the helm.
Deal with it as you chose but please, keep your hateful nonsense out of Free Republic, please?
“You sound just like the crazy resist liberals and leftists.”
Actually your disregard for personal liberty is much more in keeping with the policies of the liberals, progressives & leftists. Not conservative at all no matter how you want to dress it up.
Why do you hate personal liberty?

My home state turned blue long before the legal weed arrived.
1918 - US Pharmaceutical Farms Grow 60,000 Pounds of Cannabis Annually
“Up to World War I, pharmaceutical supplies of cannabis indica were entirely imported from India (and occasionally Madagascar), in accordance with the U.S. Pharmacopoeia, which specified that it come from flowering tops of the Indian variety...
Finally, in 1913, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry announced it had succeeded in growing domestic cannabis of equal quality to the Indian. When foreign supplies were interrupted by World War I, the United States became self-sufficient in cannabis. By 1918, some 60,000 pounds were being produced annually, all from pharmaceutical farms east of the Mississippi.”

Just line up the girl scouts and their cookies.
“Just line up the girl scouts and their cookies.”
I prefer having blue dreams but girl scout cookies are rumored to be quite enjoyable. :)
You could always go into a dispensary & purchase some CBD oil to use while your in Vegas after July 1st.
In any case, safe travels.
fellow americans and fellow christians
Expect the casino lobby to fight back once they start losing money.
There in lies the danger of being stoned, you have no clue of the reality of the things you speak. It is all about you, you, you. It is also they only way Ron Paul could gather a crowd.
Strangely Loco Weed didn't help the Indians much and Alcohol helped even less.
Defense of the Constitution is the core of conservatism. I imagine the draft interfered with individual freedom quite a bit, was that conservative, or was it more like all the pot heads that ran away to Canada?
Ever try to convince a friend they are too drunk to drive. Looks and sounds a lot like this thread.
20 Veterans Commit Suicide a Day.
Yep everything seems much better for vets. I am sorry for what just such as you have been forced into, but a stoned Nation is a vulnerable Nation
You got the last sentence right. The rest you are simply full of #$%^. I haven’t done any drugs in a long time. But I do realize we use the WOD to destroy the country. The WOD is evil, drugs are just drugs. People who are going to screw up their lives will screw up their lives. Just watch an episode of Hoarders, screw ups don’t need drugs. We don’t need a dictatorial fed gov telling us how much cash we can carry and how much anti-histamine we can buy to protect us from ourselves. Especially since it’s long proven that they can’t actually protect us, they’re just throwing people in jail.
