re: What is the hold-up with legalizing Weed in the Deep South?

Politicians and cops are the pushers who control the market with monopolistic power enforced with guns and cages. The State pushers are raking in vast fortunes while they enjoy the best cannabis.

If you want the best shite, get in with the power structure.

Not disagreeing. I think it should be legal. Just saying that we're likely around a decade away from it being federally legal.

It is really no worse than taking a cigarette break every freaking 15 minutes like my co-workers are prone, and conditioned, to do.

I'm not against legalizing it... but there is a huge difference in smoking weed on the job vs. smoking a cig on the job.

SO true.

I just moved to Colorado, so I have some perspective from both sides. This state is making so much money from marijuana sales it's unreal. In my opinion, it should be legalized if for no other reason than the ungodly amount of tax revenue. They basically treat it just like alcohol up here, and it works great. There are lounges people go to chill, and people buy it and take it home or whatever. The people around here seem to be handling it really well, and the shops are incredibly professional. I've actually never smoked weed, but I took some time to visit a couple of the lounges and shops just to see what it was like. Pretty cool. These people have it figured out, and it wouldn't disrupt the way of life or cause mass debauchery if it were legalized in the south.

No doubt. Where in Co are you?


I'm a Colorado Medical user. It basically let's you get it much cheaper than recreational, since there's no additional 20% tax on my purchase, just local sales taxes.

In Nola, I'd buy 1/8ths for $50-60, Ounces for $300-350, sometimes even higher. It was also a crap shoot, You didn't know which type of cannabis you were buying, Indica or Sativa (one makes you tired, the other more uppity). I'd get some known stains occasionally. And only because I'm a vet, I knew if they were actually what I was expecting.

Today I bought a 1/2 ounce for $80 (1/4 of Lemon Sweet Skunk and a 1/4 of Moonshine Haze). Impeccable quality, and I know exactly what I'm smoking. What fertillizers and other chemicals that were used in the grow process. I know what the THC percentage and percentage of other cannabinods are in the cannabis I bought. The product is truly incredible.

I WAS ALSO CARDED TWICE during the purchase. Once to walk into the dispensary, and another time by the "budtender." This is VERY COMMON. I get ID'd twice at 95% of the places I've bought from, and I'm 32 and look it. And when I moved here, I tried dozens of different places. It is damn near impossible for someone under 21 to legally purchase weed. Way harder than alcohol from a liqour store. I would be shocked if any fake ID worked. And this is coming from someone that had a fake ID from 17 to 21.

At 15, I was buying weed from multiple Taco Bell employees. You wanna make it harder for kids to score? Legalize it.

Plus now, Colorado is making huge tax revenue. And millions are also being saved from not wasting time enforcing an archaic law.

Why the frick is this here? I had to check like three times to make sure this was the rant and not the OT/Poli board

I love weed

So wanting something that all ages partake in (and have for a long time ) to be legal is why people hate millenials? Colorado is making millions of dollars for the state, and legalization cripples violent drug cartels. fricking millenial scum!
