Amendment 64 approved: Mason Tvert celebrates, John Hickenlooper talks Cheetos

IN case you haven't read it, (IF you can read, that is) there are 2 Washington state prosecutors who have dismissed a total of 220 marijuana cases. Have you any idea how much money that will save the involved court systems??? How many cases will be dropped from the already overworked legal system? The public servants who must transport these 'prisoners'. Public Defenders are so overworked by cases of indigent and poor people who can't afford to pay for legal counsel, they are starting to files lawsuits against the counties they work in. GEEZ.

The part of my comment with 'Anti-Prohibitionists' in my first post should read 'PROHIBITIONIST'. This stuff makes me angry when people try to force their control on the rest of us. Go to your bar, or your church, and mind your own business, please.

Wonder why the government keeps printing money, everyday? It's to replace the truckloads of cash the cartels push across our southern border, everyday, all day. Those couple of hundred thousand dollar busts they make? A drop in the bucket. Gangs are the unions that push these illegal drugs across the border to answer the demand in this country. Let's control and tax this stuff and pull some of the power from the hands of these violent criminals. BTW, if big pharma companies would stop paying the government to keep this stuff illegal, they would have tons more cash to put towards solving the problem with stuff like, um, cancer, lupus, MS, and other diseases that respond in a positive manner, to the CBDs found in cannabis plants and our bodies. They were made for each other, and man will never that. The companies who make all these chemicals they call 'medicine' will never, ever surpass what nature can do. Commercials on television are half happy faced people, and the other half is warnings about the dozen or so, potential problems their garbage MIGHT do to you. Than they whitewash it with 'ask your Doctor, if it's right for you'. This is after they have offered some of those very same physicians kickbacks to push the newest drugs on us, because the previous ones now have generics which COULD save US millions of dollars every year. Exactly why do you think they Doctors have samples of the newest stuff in the first place???

What some of you anti-intelligence, anti-prohibitionists seem to forget, is that the very first gateway drugs are cigarettes and alcohol. BOTH have horrible effects on the human body as evidenced by the numbers of people who die from both substances in a year, in this country. Like alcohol prohibition, it won't work, it never worked, and resulted in a lot of innocent people being killed or wounded, because some narc got the address wrong on the warrant. You have never felt the pain, the anguish and horror of having your family busted up by the very people you elect to GOVERN, who perpetuate this mythical 'WAR'. This is NOT a war. Wars end. We just finished a war. Even the thousand years war ended, and in a considerably shorter amount of time. the other possible reason they love to arrest cannabis users, is that they are both passive, and yes, even peaceful, and are more careful at operating a motor vehicle than some of you are on your best days. Like the ones who park in the handicapped zone at the store. More kids use than it than you care to admit, and drug dealers don't ask for ID. Jails even have it in there. Ask your local sheriff. If he tells you absolutely not, he IS lying. They do shakedowns all the time for it. Wonder why that is??? It is easier to get than your favorite beverages or burning substance, and they can and do know someone who can have it in their hands in less than an hour. Give it up, wake up and check your kids for illegal substances in their blood. You may be unpleasantly surprised/shocked.

fuck you charles go suck romneys tiny cock

Because they think Colorado legalized cannabis, like alcohol, and poor journalism allowed people to believe that lie.

No it wasn't Bob, lol

Population boom in CO. Boulder was great"

Because it is long overdue.

Colorado and Washington are the first modern societies to legalize marijuana. People are anxious to see if we've discovered a better way to control marijuana use. Hopefully the federal government does not interfere with this process so we can determine if regulation is truly a better method for dealing with the marijuana demand.

Yep, Washington. So I don't know why they would only be interested in Colorado.

Because the majority of adult Americans want it legal too, they just can't figure out how to get it done

didnt another state pass it too?

This Corpulent DREG pushing this crap on Colorado needs to stay away from ILLEGAL MARIJUANA and Twinkies!!! You Plebeians have nothing better to do with time then to smoke marijuana. No wonder why Barrack Hussein Obama won this suspected rigged election. If your such a loser, that you need an illegal drug to relieve you from your drab lives,  then try not to hang yourselves in the closet. It would break my heart.

go to sleep 

So can anyone tell me, can I show up at a dispensary tomorrow, prove my age, and buy an eigth?

Our former Democrat now turned right wing corporate whore for Coors and Anheuser Busch governor John Hickenlooper is already back peddling on legalization of marijuana! Funny because if some fascist bill like life begins at conception would have passed, he would have signed it into law without problem. I encourage you to BOMBARD him and Barack Obama with emails, faxes and letters that state "the people of Colorado have spoken, we want marijuana to be legal". Not decriminalized, not just for medical use, but LEGAL!
