It’s turned many Colorado towns into zombie land. New Mexico is in the process too. Fight it.
Marijuana is for cowards and liars and is destroying this country.
I’d support legalization of pot if it comes with getting rid of welfare programs.
What makes life so miserable that people want out of it by stupefying themselves even to the point of being drugged out, unemployable, homeless vagrants?
The alcohol industry is no different, except their product is more deadly by a series of magnitudes.
FIGHT. Legalization is bad and needs to be reversed.
Even cheech and chong understood what marijuana does to people
This being said, it's hard to deny that legal weed is a public nuisance. For one, the strains are an order of magnitude stronger than the crappy Mexican ditch weed I smoked as a college student in the 90s. And they're putting weed in everything! From beer to candy. This increases the risk of accidentally ingesting it and then losing your job because you popped on a drug test.
And where it's been legalized, smoke and vape shops are opening up everywhere and become conduits for crime and various shady people loitering about.
And finally, the public use of weed shouldn't have surprised me but it did. People smoke it openly everywhere with no regard to the laws prohibiting this, which aren't enforced anyways.
So, Idaho, this is what you've got to look forward to.
Those places that sell it have to charge 24% tax for the govt. at least here in Az they do. So the gov is making good money on it. I wonder where that money goes.
Libertarians. I hate those scumbags.
If the Idaho Citizens did so, the result would be even more, much more, Californian moverinners storming the state border.
Potatoes won’t be the only things baked in Idaho.
They can send all that tax money to Washington state
Most of Fairbanks stinks like skunk behind. Hate it. Riding motorcycle around and you can definitely smell it everywhere.
People are voluntarily making themselves unemployable doing this crap.
I’ve been amused by folks in Utah, Idaho & now Tennessee, ostensibly conservative, usually in management, who attempting to project a “liberal” face express a wish for legal weed. “wish we’d join the 21st century” they say.
It’s only a 2 hr drive from any of these places to a state with legal recreational dispensaries. Why not enjoy the benefits of having it close by, without the social problems caused by de-facto legalization? Illinois is a hellhole (I was born in Springfield & lived in Chicago for a time in childhood) in which I would never live. I am currently in rural TN. If I want to partake, I can always drive a few hrs & get something decent legally.
How can people be so lazy?
If we’re not conserving civilization, what are we even doing?
No
