That sounds dangerous. You'd certainly not want to go back after partaking in the weed. You'd buy the whole damn store before you knew what the heck you were doing.

I actually just got back from the 7/11 kinda stoned, lol. There was a cop in there and he did that look behind him to check me out buying soda and airheads lol.

Nope, that is good to hear then. As long as there are many legal options to obtain marijuana this is a great thing.

Opposite effect for me.

Im the kinda stoner who stands in the aisle for 15 minutes trying to figure out which bag of chips he wants.

It'll be interesting to see how much revenue these states bring in once this gets going.

I think by 2015 you're going to see several states add this to ballots simply because of the potential revenue.

Good luck finding a bank to collect the tax proceeds for a weed biz. Wake me when the Feds act.

This new measure is going to absolutely destroy the medical marijuana industry. I predict that 100 percent of medical marijuana dispensaries are going to close down.

Offsetting that, of course, is the fact that recreational marijuana stores with the same name, same ownership, and same customer base will open up in the same locations. So I guess the only real damage will be to the unethical doctors who wrote up marijuana prescriptions.

So you can get all baked up and the Grand Canyon looks even more amazing...

The MMJ industry will just become the MJ industry. Time did an article on this last month and these businesses are already for sale for huge money.

Second, the OR law was a little wacky, it would have directed the state to sell pot in state-owned shops. THAT would have been a serious problem and something the feds could have probably shut down.

Oregon is basically a socialist state...liberal as **** and the ONLY thing I hate about living in it.

Is this why Peyton wanted Denver so bad? For his medical marijuana?

First Colorado DA offiically drops charges and says that they're done prosecuting it.

Im not much on politics, unfortunately.

When is the next time that states can vote for weed to be legalized, like in Washington and Colorado?

Is that in 4 years, or just 2?

Smoked pot for the first time in 25 years last weekend, Shit's strong these days.. Not sure I want to do that again. I was at dads weekend in Pullman (WSU) That place is off the hook!
