    Its generated over 3.5 million bucks in colorado in the first year of legalization to go toward Colorado Schools.

    So even if you dont hold a high opinion of weed you have to appreciate the good its doing.

    Also with Weed being legal people are less likely to use other more harmful substances such as Cocaine.

    Don't be fooled by that crap Bear.

    Every cent that goes from pot tax into schools will be matched by the money that now wont go to schools from elsewhere.

    Just like the lottery in every state.

    De-criminalization is seen as a wiser step than full blown sponsorship.

    Because the west coast is the best coast. Plus we've been creating the elite cannabis game for decades. 99% of top shelf herb anywhere in this country can trace its genetics and breeding through northern California's emerald triangle, and would be considered midgrade compared to the growers private reserve they keep for themselves.

    Not too long ago Nevada was the same way. I know plenty of cali boys who thought it was a good idea to bring some reefer while they gamble and not leave the state for a few months.

    i know dealers who always keep the good stuff for themselves and sell the lower quality.

    it really pisses me off how they only seem easy to get up with when they have shitty product

    no i dont grow it but I wish i could grow my own.

    I am really thinking about moving to a state where its legal just for health reasons...

    ya see i have been smoking far too long and I want to quit. However I dont want to quit consuming THC...

    i have zero issue whatsoever with the effects of THC on my body i just want to quit smoking it... yeah i vape occasionally but i am not sure how much healthier that is than smoking...

    What i would love is to be able to get blazed just from drinking a soda or eating some weed laced candy or cookies...

    i heard snoop dogg raping about chronic ice tea i might look into that i dont know how hard it is to make or if it even works ....

    but i do make cookies occasionally but i'd love to just be able to drink a simple soda or eat a gummy bear and feel the effects without doing something harmful like smoking

    I spent a considerable amount of time in Oklahoma lobbying for legalization of marijuana and met with Tom Coburn a few times on the issue

    I can tell you it comes down to two things and I'm sure it's fairly representative of the entire south. First, it's demonized by many Christian southerners and that's political suicide. Two, he's an egotistical prick with MD behind his name and he uses that to avoid intelligent debate. He's an ob/gyn that hasn't practiced in decades and acts like he's a worlds expert on pot.

    Interestingly, I don't even smoke pot

    i would be the first one to the ballot if my state got to vote on this issue.

    I just have never really been sold on these presidential candidates lately...

    i liked Ron Paul he seemed like a good dude. But i didnt like Obama enough to vote for him and i sure as hell did not like Romney or McCain they just had no charisma and they came across as arrogant... and i did not like the fact that Sarah Palin rides around in a helicopter shooting innocent wolves in Alaska and she does not even eat the meat.

    You need charisma in a president? You're worried if some sport hunter eats what they kill - and that disqualifies them from waging war and shaping policy?

    Someone has reached the pinnacle of US politics and you're concerned they might become a big arrogant?

    Maybe it's better you don't vote.

    OG Kush, the real deal not the pretendo that's everywhere, was bred by Chemdog in Lake Tahoe and gifted to many NorCal growers who started distributing it back in the mid 90's. Raskal is the first grower in Socal who did it properly and IMO is responsible for the level of hype it's reached and most of the best hybrids.

    now Obama i think i could get along with him. He seems like a really easy going cool dude.

    but i dont agree with his politics.


    McCain and Romney i dont think i could stand being in the same room with for 5 minutes.

    and i would gladly pay taxes on it to be able to purchase top shelf product and have the peace of mind knowing some asshole cop isnt going to fukk me over b/c i got a lil weed on me. That shit makes me paranoid.

    America is supposed to represent freedom.

    you telling me drinking whiskey is okay but smoking a joint is not?

    thats hypocritical.

    I want USA to fix the economy and taxing weed is a great way to generate money for the goverment.

    Hell... while they are at it they can tax prostitution and sports gambling too. I just want America to be a free country and let people do what they want.
