I think this is a very controversial decision by Colorado and could be one they live to regret.

Interesting reading.
Thank you for the link.

Here in Florida we voted on it and it got the majority, but oddly enough we didn't get 60 percent, even though all the polls said that we had up to 75 percent. So back to the same old same old thing here, but this week Polk Co. has started to talk about legalizing it anyway, ahhh home sweet home. Best of luck in all of your states too.

I am neither for or against the legalization. I am neutral and could not care what other persons point of refuge is. Well sort of.

I was born 1955, So I lived through the 60, 70 and 80's. I was one of the few people in my LARGE group of park friends that only drank beer. One of my observations was that the handful of my friends that smoked pot on a very continuous basis sort of had their brains turn to RUBBER. I know a few people today that smoke in this fashion. Seems like they feel they cannot function without smoking. But smoking makes them non-functional. Like I said, I don't care, but makes you wonder.

I's the fine print that kills the vote. Most of them have the provisions, that the only ones that can legally sell cannabis, are the big political donors, and cronies.

The vote in Florida was for medical marijuana. It is again no the ballot this November. The move in Polk and Orange County is simply to let the sheriff's department write tickets instead of arresting folks who have small amounts in their possession.

I think no one should be jailed for using this plant, but in Colorado there has been an appalling frenzy of trying to develop the highest potency plants and creating the highest potency edibles. Really - are you having trouble getting stoned enough? The Denver Post reported on one dispensary that was selling candy bars which contained 180mg of THC (about 18 doses). The problem with that is that it takes up to an hour to feel anything when you eat it, so people very easily get a far greater dose than if they smoke it. This has led to suicides, a murder or two, and accidental deaths. It is moronic. My fear is that this type of behavior will have a pendulum effect and negatively impact the drive to accept this plant as a useful medicinal herb.

This happened to Maureem Dowd (sp?), the liberal columnist. She was all gung-ho about legalization and she checked into a hotel in Denver to taste some edibles. Her ignorance of potency, etc., bit her in the ass as she ate an entire 18 dose candy bar. She flew for something like 18 hours,math ought she was going to die, and at the time anyway came out of it all somewhat anti-legalization without specific rules & regs on potency, labeling, etc.

Very important stat:"The decreasing social stigma regarding marijuana use could lead individuals to be more likely to report use on surveys and to health workers in emergency departments and poison control centers, making marijuana use appear to increase when perhaps it has not."
