"I tried really hard to present verified facts".

No, you did not.

I'll stand behind the mistake

Sounds like something someone high on pot would say.

"...Colorado experienced 37 deaths that day from overdose on marijuana,"

Well, if this is true, it's alarming. I've never heard of anybody dying from an overdose of marijuana before. If they had 37 deaths (the first I've ever heard about) in one day, can you imagine how many people are dying every day from this menace?

No wonder the population of places like Mexico and Jamaica are going extinct!

Nice try, Chief Pristoop.

Maryland is a huge dump - passing in school now lowered to a score of 50 and now drugs in the system.

It is really going to suck.

You must get your facts from the same sources as Police Chief Dumbass. In fact: The birth rate per thousand people in both Jamaica and Mexico far exceeds the birthrate in the United States; the death rate in these countries is not only lower than in the United States, but significantly lower than the birth rate; and the life expectancy at birth in Jamaica and Mexico is only slightly lower than in the United States. In short, the populations of these countries are not "going extinct," but growing larger.

The drug warriors will say or do anything to keep the ‘war-on-drugs’ gravy train going. Lot’s of DEA and police dept revenue at stake here.

Wow, he earns about $147K too much for his level of competence.

"I remember the first day it was decriminalized there were 37 deaths."

His comment was made tongue in check. The poster assumes a person knows those populations aren’t going extinct.

Sorry guys, I wasn't being serious, I figured that part about Mexico and Jamaica going extinct would tip you off to that. I guess sometimes sarcasm should be more obvious.

Read it again, you might catch it this time.

I assumed so at first, but one really can’t be sure without the “sarcasm tag.”

LOL... no problem. If I’d said that to you in person, you’d probably have laughed at it, but that doesn’t always translate well into Internet-speak.

DENVER — A southern Colorado county with two recreational marijuana stores has become the first in the state to announce tax totals from the new industry.

Pueblo County finance authorities announced Monday that its two shops had about $1 million in total sales in January, producing about $56,000 in local sales taxes.
