You either work for the government, your income depends on keeping marijuana illegal, or you are just spouting off the same old shit that the Feds have been doing for years. Have you ever even smoked marijuana? Alcohol and prescription drugs cause great harm to our society, yet they are legal. Marijuana a plant that has been shown to cure seizures, and replace many pharmaceuticals at a fraction of the cost. Colorado's economy is booming, and it has nothing to do with legal marijuana. I can tell that by you calling it dope, you are out of touch. <br /><br /> As for your Detroit reference, Detroit did not fail because of drugs, it failed because the auto industry and many other manufacturing jobs were outsourced to foreign countries because of our crooked politicians letting it happen for campaign contributions. <br /><br /> The tax revenue that marijuana generates is very strictly regulated and has been used to fund school districts to hire nurses and social workers that were eliminated because of budget cuts. <br /><br /> You better just sit back, because all states and the feds will legalize it soon when they realize that it's a waste of money to enforce stupid laws and it's much easier to regulate it and let police work on real crime. <br /><br /> I can tell by your arguments that you are not too bright and your living in the past. Come visit Colorado, we have over 300 days of sunshine and Colorado is ranked one of the healthiest states in the country, more Olympic athletes live and train here than any other state. People want to move here, a progressive state that told the Feds to pound sand, our citizens want Marijuana legal as does most of the country. The drug war has ruined this country as the US has 3 % of the population yet over 25% of the prison population. Colorado is an awesome state, so in retrospect, stay where you are, we don't want your kind.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-14395778388899262262015-01-13T06:05:49.977-08:002015-01-13T06:05:49.977-08:00Child porn is neither consensual nor moral.

Responsible, adult alteration of consciousness is not a crime and in no way equates to child pornography-your strawman hyperbole doesn't equal a valid argument. Furthermore, Detroit is a wasteland thanks to all the corporations who pulled their factories out so they could pay workers less and CEOs/shareholders more as well as the corrupt politicians who allowed it to happen, not pot dealers. Go sell your ridiculous, antique Drug War agitprop to those at an intellectual level low enough to buy it, like a DEA supervisor or a police lieutenant.tunkashilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-16462586762439298552015-01-13T01:27:04.985-08:002015-01-13T01:27:04.985-08:00Surprise! Surprise!
There's money to be made ...Surprise! Surprise!<br /><br />There's money to be made selling dope. No! Really there is! Isn't it great news? Colorado is raking in gazillions selling dope to its young adults and to the young adults of neighboring states. It's turned into an economic bonanza for bureaucrats hungry for more slush money and political graft.<br /><br />And talk about economic revitalization, wow. These very same dope people who buy and sell marijuana also buy and sell all the other drugs, providing another economic boost. The dope industry economic stimulus of pot sales is spurring growth in other growth industries too, like methamphetamine sales, cocaine sales, heroin sales, bath salt sales, and prostitution.<br /><br />I'll bet Colorado state could make money selling child porn too. In fact, I was wondering the other day, how old should a child have to be before society would let them sell their bodies to pay for their dope habits? In countries where dope is legal, they start kids out in prostitution at about ten. Well, hell! That says a lot for all those countries where dope is legal then, doesn't it? U.S.A! U.S.A! U.S.A! <br /><br />Remind me again. What happens to communities that get thoroughly infested with drugs.<br /><br />Does the name Detroit ring a bell? All these pro-dope people are completely delusional. The negatives of legal pot in Colorado is already spurring calls to make dope illegal again. So, for the other dope-tempted states, what's the rush? Just sit back and watch how this plays out in Colorado.<br /><br /><br />Or rush into it greedily, because there's nothing that pleases a politicians more than cash flow. And, if dope sales equate to anything, it's cash flow. Hear that sucking sound out in Colorado? That's Colorado's economic being swept up into the whirlwind of the dope economy it has unleashed.<br /><br />Colorado, the pothead state. Has sort of a ring to it, doesn't it?Donald Warren Robertsonhttp://www.amazon.com/Maine-Love-Story-Boughten-Bread/dp/1484861620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-7086591262852852462015-01-12T19:36:56.562-08:002015-01-12T19:36:56.562-08:00The war against marijuana fits some of the classic...The war against marijuana fits some of the classic indicators of Ruling Elites fighting what economists call "creative destruction" -- a shift in economic activity that raises new businesses at the expense of old ones. In the case of marijuana, the losers are Big Pharma, Big Alcohol, and even Big Paper, the old wood-fiber based paper industry which has a hard time competing with hemp fiber. (Yes, industrial hemp and marijuana are two different plants, but they LOOK alike so the wood-fiber paper industry needed to keep both illegal.) Perhaps Big Alcohol will be the biggest loser, and there are some powerful elites in that business. I once read an article about how the House of Rothschild concealed its true wealth. The author had to peel back SIX layers of corporate ownership before he had proved that the Rothschilds owned Seagrams. Many of the biggest, oldest banks (HSBC comes to mind) put together their early fortunes running drugs, and even today make a fortune on money laundering for the drug trade. And the criminal INjustice system itself has been making a fortune on marijuana prohibition in the form of salaries and prison slave labor.<br /><br />So Colorado may be making and saving many millions on marijuana legalization, but the creative destruction going on quietly behind the scenes is causing a lot of gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair.Tomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-16323997926339802812015-01-12T19:09:23.880-08:002015-01-12T19:09:23.880-08:00To properly introduce myself, I am Mr Micheal Bens...To properly introduce myself, I am Mr Micheal Benson a private lender i<br />give out loan at 3% interest rate.

This cynical uncaring attack on the Bill of Rights is a hard one to top. A truly reptilian being. <br /><br />" In the Clinton years, police overreach in the name of the Drug War shredded <br />much of what remained of the Bill of Rights. And those most frequently <br />caught in its web were not the "drug kingpins" legislators claimed to be <br />going after. Mothers, fathers, small-time dealers, medical-marijuana users <br />and even children were caught in a criminal- justice system so overgrown no <br />one is immune to the new powers Johnny Law uses to protect us from <br />ourselves. And while much of the horror heaped on the American public has <br />occurred at the state and local levels, the tenor of the times begins at <br />the top-which places the responsibility squarely at Bill Clinton's feet." <br /><br />source - http://www.mapinc.org/newscfdp/v01/n087/a05.html?6793Albertonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7960343306536592656.post-69261537360153707012015-01-12T18:51:43.540-08:002015-01-12T18:51:43.540-08:00Makes perfect sense to sensible, rational individu...Makes perfect sense to sensible, rational individuals.
