The glittering image of post-legalization Colorado—with billions in tax revenue and a happy populace—runs up against the uncomfortable reality of poor regulation and patients dangerously misguided about the risks and benefits of marijuana use.

Bingo! This is exactly what is being pushed in NJ. It's sickening. They even put kids out front pushing Medical Marijuana. In NJ's case,it's a complete money grab by the corrupt government.It's pathetic because the left pretends to hate "Big Pharma" with the so called "Opiate Crisis" but "Big Pharma" is in bed with Big Government to get into the billion dollar pot business. NJ gives the nod,wink and tax breaks to the Pharmaceutical Industry while pretending to hate them. The fidiot voters are to stupid to see hypocrisy.

Yes, dogs have some unusual reactions to eating various things, some of those reactions being death. Can’t let dogs anywhere near it, because they will definitely eat it, and they will ail, it’s not good.

Not necessarily trying to stop them, but certainly intending to prevent their poor choices from affecting me and mine. See how that works? Its called society. Individual Liberty must be tempered by love for your neighbor, unless you are a narcissistic or psychopathic type....

My husband gave a ride to an acquaintance of a friend when we were in Colorado. He took him to work at the medical marijuana dispensary . This was about in 2015 or so. My husband asked him about how do they dispense and the guy pulled out a 3 fold pamphlet and showed him this chart for different complaints. Scary.

Nobody has ever died from it. You’re every bit the hysteric as any other person drunk with the desire to wield power over others.

Dear Drug SJWs,

Let's take care of alcohol first. Fetal alcohol syndrome is a curse on humanity - it turns babies into Leftists:

“Not necessarily trying to stop them, but certainly intending to prevent their poor choices from affecting me and mine.”

“Its called society”

One of the inherent problems of living in a society, I’d say.

Good luck with that.

“Sorry. They are just too stupid to be allowed to live. However, this Drug War thing is a flat failure. Social engineering doesn’t work.”

That’s right, just like war on crime is a failure. Look at all the crime being committed even though it’s illegal. Legalize crime!

Tobacco, pot and alcohol should all be illegal, period.

They are all too dangerous.

I say this as a person who uses pot and alcohol responsibly, and as a former tobacco user. I love my glass of wine at dinner but alcohol is too dangerous to too many, including non-drinking drivers and pedestrians. Pot has the same basic problem, even though I use it lightly and responsibly, too many don’t.

And how often do you hear of this? For crying out loud Americans die every day because of some clown who got lit and blew through a stop sign and killed someone and here you are pulling obscure info like this out. Let me tell you something, in all the years when I was out there drinking and doing drugs no one I ever knew ‘’shot up’’ weed. Heroin, yeah, lost a bunch of friends to that.

Are they all as dangerous as prison?

Weed has medicinal uses to it, alcohol has none. I invite you to sit in on an AA meeting, as I do and meet adults whose mothers drink all through their pregnancy. It's heart breaking. The damage is irreversible.

Drugs are a commodity, murder isn’t. So let’s continue to keep it illegal and the criminal elements prospers. Drugs dealers don’t ask for id. Ever consider that?

So when are we bringing back alcohol prohibition? That was such a sterling success, wasn't it?
