That’s A Bizzarre response to my comment. Not to mention evasive and deceptive.
No you’re right.
A bottle can be gotten for so cheap that begging out front for 15 minutes will get you a bottle.
And for some reason, and I’ve seen it in the city, people don’t mind giving a few bucks to an alcoholic homeless person.
They figure let the guy enjoy what he enjoys.
Honest, sometimes I would see some dude in his 70s and on his way out and I’d give him a few bucks for a bottle.
It’s not like rehab was gonna happen at that point and that’s what he enjoyed.
Stupid thinking, but i was much younger.
there will be no “COULD HAPPEN” it “WILL HAPPEN” and whole new crime syndicates will be formed all over the country.
Drunken brawls and beatings are a deep-rooted part of our cultural heritage ... or something.

I was parodying a Reefer Madness brigade dodge regarding the harms of alcohol. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
In a $20 TRILLION economy, it's the creation of legal pot shops that will give enough of a shakedown opportunity to create whole new crime syndicates?!
ROTFLMAO!
When you consider that alcohol consumption predates human society, you are actually right.

Like, duuuh. When pot was illegal and someone purchased it, well, that’d make it, wait for it.... a crime.
Is this fake news? I hate fake news no matter where it comes from. Please cite your sources. I have no dog in the hunt when it comes to pot but I like to be properly informed.
As does utilizing Hemp and Cannabis.
Archaeologists find signs of ritualized cannabis use 2,500 years ago in China.
From the article: “In Denver, researchers found the sharpest decrease in nonviolent crimes, like criminal trespassing, criminal mischief, simple assault and public-order crimes.”
“I do not agree with focusing on “benefits to society” on a pro-Constitution pro-limited-government web forum. “
Are you implying that legalization of meth is a conservative cause?
From your link:
“Colorado transportation and public safety officials, however, say the rising number of pot-related traffic fatalities cannot be definitively linked to legalized marijuana.
“Positive test results reflected in the NHTSA data do not indicate whether a driver was high at the time of the crash since traces of marijuana use from weeks earlier also can appear as a positive result.”
“I’m stating that growing government and ignoring the Constitution to “benefit society” is not a conservative cause. “
You ducked the question!
So crime dropped near pot shots after marijuana was legalized. Am I to believe that crime near pot shops was higher before it was legalized? IOW when pot was a crime more reports were entered than when it wasn’t. You got be high to write stories like this, but then it is a Coloradical story.
Based on the history of criminal activity in the United States over the past 110 years, yes it will.
ROTFLMAO!

LOL! Stop, you're killing me!
