In Colorado they will buy it in a legal store rather than from some thug in an alley that might kill them for their money.

The illegal marijuana market in Georgia is a lot bigger than the small subset of "thugs in an alley". Most users can easily buy ounces risk free from good friends who they've known for many years.

I would if it meant holding out for a few more years and having a crack at a REAL head coaching position along with the pay raise. Shortsighted if you ask me.

Beaumont, you're either really naive or really stupid....or some moderate combination of the two. I said nothing about Colorado being more "dangerous" than Georgia. That WOULD be silly...you're right. I'm simply saying, as a father, you've got enough shite to try and keep your kids out of, weed included here. But there is at least the barrier of it's legality (or lack thereof) in Georgia. It may not be much of a barrier, but the potential legal ramifications in addition to mom and dad's ire can at least be somewhat of a deterrent. You can still get it if you want it here, but it being as accessible (and visible) as a pack of gum at any store means you've got work harder as a parent to steer your kids to make good choices. When you were a teenager, did you get beer, cigarettes or weed more? Why?
Btw, this isn't an argument for or against it's legalization. It's coming, one way or another. I personally don't care.....it's fine with me if it's legalized, but I'd prefer that come about after my kids are at least 18. Selfish, I admit.

I understand you didn't specifically say safety from crime was your concern, but I'd suggest you are the naive/stupid one since you stated Bobo is being an irresponsible parent since he is moving to a state with legalized pot. By every public health measure I'm aware of Colorado is safer and healthier than Georgia. Why didn't you think he was irresponsible when he lived in Georgia? Why just cherry picking weed? (I don't smoke btw).
My point isn't that you said Colorado was unsafe, my point is that Bobo isn't an irresponsible parent moving to Colorado. That's completely laughable. He got a massive raise and is in a great area. Yea, irresponsible parenting since there isn't a nanny state telling adults what to do about pot.

I said he was irresponsible? Did I?
I'm gonna go with "nah" on that count. Sorry to disappoint. I'm just saying that, in my opinion, he made his six kid parenting job a little more difficult. And I'm not talking about telling adults what to do. I'm talking about accessibility to minors. I couldn't care a whole lot less what consenting adults do in their own privacy. You wanna smoke? Go for it. Hell, it's safer than alcohol and cigarettes combined. I personally don't want my kids doing any of it, though, at least not until they're old enough to make an informed decision. They got enough to worry about with just growing up and making grades these days. This post was edited on 12/23/14 at 8:52 pm

And yeah, Colorado is much healthier because their population isn't made up of poor slobs who eat Whoppers and Big Macs for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.

True, you said it was poor parenting. You're still being absurd to suggest Bobo isn't being a good father.
If this legalized pot, which I'm sure I'd worry about as a parent in Colorado too, were as much of a concern as you're suggesting wouldn't Colorado be showing early signs of massive social unrest?
To boil my point down. As a parent you worry about lots of different categories. Pot is one of them, and maybe that category Bobo will have to worry more. But data suggests (referring to schooling, crime rates, etc.) many of the other categories of worries should decrease for Bobo in Colorado.
This isn't poor parenting. I wanted him to stay but you look childish as hell suggesting he isn't a good parent because pot is legal in a place with better schools and less crime.

Holy frick. The dude was offered almost a 1 million dollar raise and a head coaching job. You look that in the face and say no.

I said it was a poor parenting move. One poor move does not constitute an assumption of poor parenting on the whole. My bet is the kids go to a private school. In any case, the schools should definitely be better than here, I agree. You had it right....it's one aspect. I'm not disagreeing that other parts aren't better. I'm only looking at the one. Nothing childish about it. Just my opinion on one angle. And I can't imagine doing any of it with that many mouths to feed. I wish him luck.

Compared to Georgia, Colorado is a much better place to raise children. People in Colorado are very active thanks to the great outdoor sports.
Wise parents of teenage children should greatly prefer living in a state that has legal cannabis so that their children don't face the risk of criminal prosecution for harmless experimentation with pot.
