And Klam accused me of being a stubborn old curmudgeon

I'm shocked I tell you

Thanks. That's a good answer. They are largely white. 80% vanilla face in some cases.

How many posts did it take for us to get an answer out you? Way too much bandwidth was wasted.

For the record, I answered the first time you asked.

Did you? I just saw a list of states.

Heck we've seen changing stances right here on this board...

On what?

everything related to your original argument from last year about legalization...

Nope. Read that thread and it reads exactly like this one.

You are one of my favorites too. But I know what I posted on the other threads. You can read them yourself if you're so inclined. They read the same as this one.

For the first time in decades, the Federal government is allowing farmers to cultivate hemp. As of Wednesday, January 29, 2014, pursuant to the passage of the farm bill, the cultivation of industrial hemp is legal on a Federal level and is clearing the way for industrial hemp pilot programs in states such as Colorado, Washington, California, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia, where growing the plant is legal.

Is a hyper bole some cool way to get high?

It's like hyper drive...takes you racing though space and time but without ever leaving the ground.

Said it before...pot's worse than booze...

...in excess, both destroy families and lives...

...difference is...the drunk wakes up and asks, "What am I doing?"...

...the stoner wakes up and asks, "Where's my pipe?"

Denial and rationalization is much worse for pot abusers.

This past Monday, I spoke with an old friend who confided his house is in foreclosure...

...he spends almost $500/mo on pot. When I suggested he reform himself and stop getting high, he replied, "No...I NEED pot to maintain."

At 54 yrs (divorced, empty nester), he'll be moving in with his 70's parents next month.

Weak

Fucks

Die

This a fantastically dumb post.

Smoking $500 of weed in a month is almost impossible.

You haven't seent he prices in Colorado.

[YoUDeeMan]

Everything in moderation.

Freedom of choice, and that includes the freedom to ruin one's life.

From you, this is too funny.

It is unFAIR to let people suffer for their choices. Big gov has got to interject.

There was a link with one store's prices...I forgot to save the link...but the "specialty" herbs were $80+ for an eight.

I don't smoke, so I don't know how long that stuff lasts. But I can imagine that people can go through that stuff quickly.

Co has already collected about $1MM in taxes on mj.

Interesting comparison between tax revenues from pot, beer, and cigarettes.

"DENVER — In the first month of legal recreational marijuana sales in Colorado, retailers who shared their proprietary data with NBC News say they have collected $1.24 million in tax revenue.

In several cases, some of those sharing data had only sold recreational pot for four days due to complications with obtaining their state and local licenses.

In a back-of-the-napkin calculation, those who shared the data say they figure February’s tax collections in Colorado likely will exceed a quarter of a million dollars a day, putting it on pace to near $100 million annually.

When Colorado first considered legalizing recreational marijuana, it was estimated the first year’s tax take would be $67 million.

By comparison, Colorado took in about $39.9 million in sales, use and excise taxes from alcoholic beverages in fiscal 2013, according to the state Department of Revenue. Cigarettes generated $165.5 million in taxes, and tobacco products $31.6 million in the same fiscal year, July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013.

In Colorado, voters approved recreational marijuana sales with the promise that the first $40 million in tax revenue would go toward building schools.

After hearing about the early tax revenue figures gathered by NBC News, one shop owner in Edgewater sounded impressed.

“Wow, we’re going to have really nice schools, really nice roads and really nice bridges,” said Eva Honingford-Woolheiser, co-owner of Northern Lights Cannabis just outside Denver.

It’s those municipal projects made possible with marijuana tax money that has legislators in various states watching closely."

I'd say Eva has really been dipping into her inventory a bit.

So are you trying to say legalizing weed over there would keep too many knee grows out of jail?

There are ethnic differences. I believe the original article in this thread noted that blacks and hispanics were more in favor of legalizing by a pretty notable margin. That tells me that different groups would have different impacts and different challenges.

It would be like thinking a banking plan in Iceland would work here.

That's because the penalties are more severe for them.

Why not just change the laws to make sentencing based on crime and not race?

Hmmm. You have to pay more for the low quality weed? Is Anheuser-Busch in the weed business already?

Works great in theory...
