colorado going ahead with full weed legalization, 15% tax rate, colorado the new shining light of america

Migration of pot-heads

lots of jobs

gun battles with the feds...

It's about damn time.
Farmers would prosper.
The nation would have a new crop
America's southern states would be great for farming this...no more failing cotton, corn, soybean and tobacco crops.

People are going to smoke weed anyway...may as well legalize it.

The only downside is for the cartels. Boo-fucking-hoo.

People could get off their suicide inducing anti-depressants.
People could stop self-medicating with more dangerous toxins.

Oil isn't the most valuable commodity...it's marijuana.

The perfect natural drug given to us by our creator (whoever you may believe that is).

Alas, there is still a lot up uptight people who have been told their whole lives that weed is evil, dangerous, and will make you a deviant within society...but that breed is finally dying off.

The only thing keeping me on dangerous anti-depressants and the such is the legal status of marijuana. Let me just smoke some damn weed and maybe I won't have to take a dangerous Pfizer pill.

If the major pharmaceutical co.'s are so worried about losing money to this...just develop medicines that utilize THC and they could still make a fortune.

Maybe this is going to force the Federal Government to re-think the scheduling of Cannabis as a drug of recreation with no medical value? I just pray that us living in PA get some help soon, a few years ago Medical MJ was spoken of often but then it just went away we didn't get a vote or we didn't get a say on if we wanted it or not. They just teased us with it and took it away.

I hope that the legalization of a couple brave states paves the way for the Federal Govt to stop looking down on MJ the way they do and let reasonable adults chose what they want to put in their bodies. Its a damn shame but I can get ultra hard drugs much easier than pot at the moment because of the way things are. People are scared to grow pot in PA because of horrid draconian laws that persecute you like you are running a meth lab.

We just want to smoke once in awhile, and those of us in severe pain have no quality of life. Pot would at least help us eat better and laugh once in awhile. Life is short, we should be able to try to enjoy it the way we see fit as reasonable adults.

What will happen to the people in prison for marijuana offenses in Colorado?

they will still be buttfucked on the regular schedule

Now that Obama has won re-election, it is possible that he will in time, change the laws against cannabis , he has nothing to lose and it would be great for America's economy !

Except for the fact he went back on his word regarding marijuana. He said he wouldn't have the feds go after anyone or any state that has legalized it...

Then he had them go after them and shut em down

That hypocrite wont do anything.

Exactly. I'm counting on nothing but resistance to this from the fed.

They'll eventually be forced to reclassify it, but not without a fight.

Fuckin stupid dope heads. Weed is important but not the debt that enslaves you, your tax dollars going to arm terrorists, NDAA bill law, UN gun ban, fast and furious, ambassador killed by Obama.

But you fuckin weed is all your dope heads care about. No wonder we're all becoming slaves. Fuck you!

Maybe he had to think about his re-election , now he doesn't have that to factor in !

So he hid his true self from the voters?

So he is either a hypocrite or a liar....sweet! Great job american voters.

And the person I voted for is against all that shit too... so... STFU, you ignorant douche.

I don't do drugs.

I'm willing to see and react over all this new rules in the next six months after we see what the end results are.

Will it be readily apparent to the local economy for Coloradans?

Will crime rates increase or decrease?

Will the Feds look the other way?

Give it six months, give it a year.... But something has to work, worst case scenario is that it fails and we allowed government to cause its failure.

I can't see it working when the taxes are going to make it more expensive and track everything.

We tax booze and people still buy it at the stores instead of making their own. We buy a 6-pack without being "tracked". The amendment was written with hopes to treat weed like booze.

Didn't take them long to start seeing ufo's in the sky...

....actually, in my state, we have more home brewers and small breweries than any other of the states around us. Tax free, and no state taxes.

The federal government allows alcohol, this weed problem will force the people of the state to rebel if the actually want what they voted for.

If you pay for anything with a debit card ( which will be required ) in Colorado for pot purchase, it will be a mandatory rule. There will be no cash sales as they can't track it.

You'll see.

Time will tell.

I disagree with your opinion that you won't be able to buy with cash... the dispensaries take cash. And yes, I know they are already "tracking" you by the fact that you registered to be able to buy medicinal. They only know that you consume though, they don't know anything about amount purchased, etc.
