“It’s just a place for adults to exercise their constitutional rights together”
Villano, the club owner, said the pot club would meet monthly at different locations, with the $29.99 membership fee good for only one event. On Monday, the pot club was meeting in a hemp-based clothing store near downtown. Hooded sweatshirts and backpacks were shoved to a corner. In the main area, a few small tables sat next to a screen showing “The Big Lebowski.”
A bar decorated with blue Christmas lights handed out sodas and Club 64′s official snacks — Goldfish and Cheetos. The snacks were inspired by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who warned marijuana users the night of the marijuana vote, “don’t break out the Cheetos or Goldfish too quickly.”
Corry said the pot clubs are intended for people who can’t use marijuana at home because of local ordinance or because their landlords threaten eviction.
“It’s just a place for adults to exercise their constitutional rights together,” Corry said. “We’re not selling pot here.”

Obama and George Soros approve. The more Americans are doped up, the less there are to vote against them, think for themselves, or practice any kind of resistance to their leftist tyranny.
Enough people fry their brains on pot (if not worse things) and George Washington reincarnated couldn’t put together a fighting force.

There’s a new Constitutional Right to Smoke Weed that I am unaware of?

Liberals have renewed the ‘right’ to do WTF-ever feels good to you at the moment, so long as you don’t hurt other people so bad they can’t ignore you. This is just one of the latest and not-so-greatest manifestations of that moronic philosophy.

Even as someone who would be fine with controlled legalization and thinks it would be more in line with the American Way, the “constitutional right” sounds like nails on a chalkboard.

They’re the flip side of the moronic philosophy of big government conservatives that think the Constitution authorizes them to decide everything that’s in our best interest – like creation of the welfare state, perpetual unemployment benefits and tax hikes on the rich (all the while claiming they were forced into them).

Personally I don’t care if people smoke pot or whatever but to call it a “Constitutional Right” is just…
Heck, I drink too much alcohol but I hardly consider it a “Constitutional Right”.

Wow. This lady made about $6,000 in one night! The American entrepreneurial spirit is alive and, uh…well…

Liberals think the constitution provides them every right they can think except the actual rights that are written into the constitution.

Do they need a license to do this?
