I wonder how DUI will be determined/tested. I'd think this will be a pretty good revenue stream for lawyers? Also, one of the better reasons for legalization was to reduce violence by the cartels. Any evidence this is happening? Hope so..

I'd be very surprised if the events related to legalizing pot don't closely follow what happened after the alcohol prohibition. They've tracked pretty well for the last few decades. One big problem is what was posted above: excessive tax keeping the black market in business.

That's been happening a lot lately , pretty smart cookies these girl scouts :D

Dusty

That'll be good for the future tax base; get kids involved in any way they can, follow the dopers around; maybe they can doctor up the cookies for them?

Another positive among many from letting the "dopers" do what they have been doing for some time.

"Since law enforcement often focused on marijuana possession charges in the past — even minor possession charges — Way said legalization has kept thousands of Coloradans from having to deal with the judicial system. Given that it costs around $300 to adjudicate each case — and that’s on top of the tax revenue generated by the marijuana industry — the state could potentially save $10 to $40 million from no longer prosecuting minor possession cases, according to the Colorado Center of Law and Fiscal Policy.

In the first half of 2014, Colorado’s marijuana industry was responsible for generating around $20 million in state taxes and fees. By the end of the year, Wellington said the state estimates it will collect $60 to $100 million in tax revenue from marijuana sales, as well as licensing fees and application fees."

No, it's not political.

Oh no...of course not.... ::)

I find it ironic that MJ is now legal in DC, the seat of our Fed Gov who continues to insist that it's illegal nationwide. Odd considering our presidents drug use background. But then, this is a president that cant link Islamic and Terrorism together in a sentance.

And no - thats not political either - just a fact.

Certainly is a fact. AND an event that has a lot of interest here on WG, so by definition it can't be political.

Maybe I should take the Griso to Rallies and not-a-rally in those states that allow the relief I could use. :bike

Funny, the feds say the states cant legalize pot but the states can make booze illegal.
I'm confused. ???

The state can outlaw something the fed does not but the state cannot legalize something the fed says is illegal.

I heard a news article on the radio a few weeks ago. Seems Wyoming and Nebraska police and sheriffs are seeing a lot more possession charges, and much of the pot they're seeing in these additional cases was legally bought in Colorado.

Apparently those States going to file a lawsuit in federal court that seeks to put a stop to Colorado's legal pot sales...

That question is obviously being tested by a few States, isn't it?

Traditionally, over the past 100 years, drugs have been a Federal issue.

These last few years have seen several States challenge that notion, and with no response from the Feds.

Powers not given the fed are reserved for the states.
Also, fedgov may only regulate INTERstate commerce.
Selling pot within state borders falls to the individual state.

No knowing how the Colorado pot is packaged, I wonder how they determined the origin of that MJane? Is it color (organic dye?) coordinated for each state? ;)

It's double packaged and labeled. You actually have to buy the package separately. It's quite an education learning about the legal product, the varieties and the effects, even for an old time pot head. Even more info for the medical uses.

I recently read that in California there have been some federal arrests related to the medicinal sales, so they're not laying off entirely.

But you have to have a script.

Like any intoxicant, it's not okay for the 10% with addictive personalities; but I'm tired of the wasted resources of excessive drug prosecutions and incarnations. The justice, corrections and penitentiary systems are big business that will do what it takes to justify their collective existence.

I have a beer or a glass of wine every once in a while, but most of the time it isn't with the intention of getting all F'd up. Pot is safer IMO.
