War on Drugs Lawfare Nanny State PING!

“... the marijuana industry is stinky...’

Lol - while horse farms are well known for their delightful fragrance.

[grobdriver]

I laugh at Colorado with considerable gusto.

WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, Ya DOLTS!

[Stepan12]

... that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors.

The marijuana industry attracts unsavory visitors? Libertarians? Figures....

The Official Undezog Website

Living in CO I have mixed feelings about this, I don’t smoke anything, but I would like to see parity in smoking laws in areas like boulder where it is illegal to smoke tobacco in certain areas, but legal to toke up....

Basically I want to stick it to the hippies.

RE :”The owners of a mountain hotel and a southern Colorado horse farm argue in a pair of lawsuits filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Denver that the 2012 marijuana-legalization measure has hurt their property and that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors.”

Unsavory visiters to CO? South Park CO???
Do they look like this?

A reminder...

[ The marijuana industry attracts unsavory visitors? Libertarians? Figures.... ]

Most all are “Liberal-Tard-ians”.

They claim to be Libertarians, but are only “Social Liberals” who still want gruebermint goodies and don;t understand any sort of sepration of powers between city/state/federal levels.

GTFO, CO!

FRIGGING SOUTH PARK IS PROPHETIC!!!

If this nanny state bullsh!t passes, how long till the progs turn this cr@p on the gun industry and states with laws respectful of the 2nd and our right to keep and bear arms? Tell the nanny staters to go get bent-lubelessly!

Now, the state faces groundbreaking lawsuits from its own residents, who are asking a federal judge to order the new recreational industry to close.

What a terrible thing to do: further cement the idea that federal government is superior to the States in all matters … if you ascribe to that then there is no 9th and 10th Amendment and, moreover, you implicitly agree with the interpretation of the Constitution that allows the NSA's domestic espionage, the BATFE's regulation of firearms, and the imposition of same-sex marriage upon the States.

It's one way or the other: you cannot have the Federal government be superior only when it conveniently lines up with your personal philosophies.

[shove_it]

Democracy at it’s finest. Who could have possibly seen this coming?

[Regulator]

a bedrock principle of the United States Constitution that federal law is the supreme law of the land

Perhaps someone could acquaint the "attorney" with the 10th Amendment.

Unless there is some interstate commerce involved, anything produced and consumed in Colorado is...Colorado's problem.

That may upset people...like the horse people....but it's the Constitution.

PS: Might just be me, but I'll bet if you were to go to the Horsey Farm, you'd find more then a few employees who are currently in violation of real Federal laws, like being in the country illegally, working illegally, etc....

Glass houses and all that.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Now THAT’s unsavory!

RE :"FRIGGING SOUTH PARK IS PROPHETIC!!!"

That is why I watch it,

Die Hippie, Die"( South Park. originally aired March 16, 2005).

Cartman was right!

[Ken H]

Be that as it may, do you agree that CO, rather than fedgov, should regulate intrastate marijuana per the Tenth Amendment?

[GOPsterinMA]

Yes!!! Cartman HATES hippies with a passion. Send him in.

They already have/do — the NFA and GCA are shining examples of this.
(What's interesting is the reaction you get from certain conservatives when you assert that the GCA is unconstitutional because its prohibited persons sections makes it an ex post facto law and therefore the prohibition against [ex-]felons owning firearms is indefensible.)

I am hoping it stays legal long enough for the rip raff here in Asheville to move to Colorado.
