From the Pot lines...
OMFG!!!
You have no idea what it is like here.
We are not all pot-heads.
Because of medical marijuana, adolescent marijuana addiction has doubled. This will only make it worse.
Every time I travel, I am afraid that my luggage is going to searched extra because I am from Colorado. No that green cocktail weenie shaped thing REALLY is a super absorbancy tampon.
For the record, I voted FOR medical marijuana. I really believe that if people are sick, they should get whatever it is they need to feel better. However, all you need in Colorado is a hangnail and...voila...you have a marijuana perscription! It has been totally overblown here. I have had tourists, in particular the deep south, ask if we all do marijuana here. NO WE DO NOT!!!
People came all the way from Ohio and Virginia to buy marijuana yesterday and today.
There are more dispensaries than Starbucks here.
And yes, there dispensaries literally next to Starbucks. I can think of one with in 50 feet of a Starbucks in Frisco.
Some cities have voted against recreational marijuana. Colorado Springs is one. Denver has voted for recreational marijuana. Denver also will not allow marijuana to be smoked in public.
Although the state does not endorse marijuana tourism, it is in the works. There are bus tours around Denver. I am hearing of ski resorts incorporating it. If they come for the pot, they will stay and ski.
I supposed that only thing that is good is that it is taxed at 29% in Denver. That money will be used for schools.
For the record, I am not a conservative, religious fanatic, fuddy-duddy. I really hate the smell of marijuana.
I really believe that this measure passed because of all the 20-30 somthings voting. I have friends that voted yes. We shall see how thing turns out.
After all of this, I am seriously thinking of moving out of Colorado. I love my state. So often it is too conservative. However, this is on the end. I just want to live, ski and not worry about nasty ass marijuana. I get a high from hitting fresh powder on a crisp, sunny morning.
End of rant....
