It’s still a violation of Federal law. I’m surprised people are looking to invest before that gets straightened out.

As Hon-duhh aptly demonstrated, respect for the law is a dying trait, which unfortunately is partly because lawmakers are being such fools. As unfair as this is, very few people will intrinsically respect law and order for the benefits it gives them.

Between the constant capers of Clowngress and stories all over the news of bad laws, I’m not at all surprised that people are disregarding pot’s legality like this. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised if someone built a huge pot-related business, invited everyone in the state to a “grand opening party”, and flat-out dared the cops to do something. The potheads are gaining momentum and they know it.

Right, because the prohibitionist path we’ve been following has produced such great results for our nation!!

Riddle me this one, libtard: what effect(s) will legalizing the sale of mind-altering narcotics to anyone have in a culture where having even a shred of responsibility is so rare you qualify as an endangered species?

For quite a while the mountains in Kentucky were home to moonshine and pot, some citing 40% of production in the US. (was on H2, so it must be true )

Until those pesky gov’t agents swooped in, burnt everything and arrested lots of people.

Still going on. Wonder how those mountain folk will take to the mountain folk in Colorado..

So you will see a lot of legal pot growing but much of it is going to be transported to neighboring states where the prices is higher.

Of course, under the 10th Amendment it shouldn’t matter as long as everything stays inside the state, but SCOTUS already decided that the Commerce clause trumps the 10th Amendment in this case.

We should have never surrendered to Alcohol, and then there’s women voting which ruined everything. Don’t even get me started on blacks getting rights. Damn progress. /

Apparently scrambling one’s brains now equals progress. Nothing says moving forward like impairment!

Good for them, not only can they develop new revenue,they can quit spending money on a failed war on drugs.

And reallocate that portion of law enforcement budget to school security. Win-Win.

and then there’s women voting which ruined everything

Oh I know, I’m still steaming mad about that one. Especially when they’re so easily lied to about War on Women nonsense.

Our entire culture has no idea what they are doing.

Between amnesty, surrendering to drugs, and letting any group of perverts get ‘married’, we will sink as surely as the Titanic. Any ONE of these would be a death knell.
