My God, what next Vermont and... nope. That's probably it for a long while.

Get there early, Chizz.

Surprising it took them this long as it's been decriminalized in Portland since at least the 80's. And to think it still hasn't yet devolved into dystopia.

Amirite, 89?

Have I ever said it would?

Get there early, Chizz.

I live in a state where its been decriminalized since 2001 and perfectly legal since 2014...
Why would I drive to Portland (thats almost 3 hours)
when I can walk to 3 different pots stores in my neighborhood



Oh, and I don't like the effects of marijuana (yuck)

Not precisely that but...

Sorry Cleets, major fail here. Show one instance where I said pot shouldn't be legal. You'll be searching a long time. My entire contention on several threads for the past several years is that there will be a LOT more problems with the legalization of pot than some of you will admit.

I'm surprised Colorado's population has not grown since they led the way.

You are aware that Gene Johnson wrote an article correcting the errors in this article right..?
In July he had to go back and amend his numerous assumptions and misinformation

[tribe_pride]

Remember that with very few exceptions (Arizona I believe for medical marijuana if not impaired at work and maybe 1 or 2 other states (I don't believe Oregon or Colorado are exceptions)), employers can still fire employees for failing drug tests. Even California allows employers to not hire applicants for employment when they fail a drug test even if it is medically prescribed

Legalizing Marijuana doesn't change a companies right to hire drug free employees

[OL FU]

I realize it is a little different but the SC house is considering legalizing medical marijuana. In fact it has made it through committee. IF it that can happen here, straight legalization can happen any where else

Okay Mr. Smarty Pants
The article YOU link is written by a Seattle based reporter (The Mr. Johnson in question)
He later corrected the errors - which were numerous - in the article you linked

Exactly and the lingering metabolites in your system make you prime candidate for losing your job even if you weren't high at work.

Where I work, you break something, you pee in a cup.
