The town of Breckenridge, CO votes to legalize marijuana

72% voted in favor. This probably won't change much in a practical sense. Any town that votes 72% in favor of marijuana legalization is going to be pretty tolerant to begin with, so I doubt there was a huge number of marijuana arrests in this hazy little ski town. I can't imagine they'll see any of the benefits of legalization, such as commercially available marijuana, home grows, low prices or significant drops in criminal activity, seeing how the Feds and State police would likely crack down hard on anything blatant.

It's definitely good news!

Hippies were going to change world for the better.

Where are they now in their millions? What a bunch of bourgeois pussies and poseurs.

Too many hits off the bong. Then the need for food, shelter and clothing forced them to get jobs and no one hires hippies.

Still... I dig hippies. I was born in '62 so I grew up watching them, waiting to join their ranks. Then when I turned of age it was all over! ARRRGH!!!! I WANTED TO BE A HIPPY WHEN I GREW UP DAMNIT!

Oh well... still, life's been good to me so far.

I was 15 in 1962.

Hippies never impressed me. The ones I knew were university students doing liberal arts,often living in gentile poverty pretending to be proles.

Everyone in my circle worked for a living. There were three broad dominant sub cultures within our milieu:Mods,Rockers and Surfies. I was a Mod. Each group had a distinctive dress style and taste in music.There was also some correlation to class,education and job.

Hippies are still like that now, to generalize. Rich kids pretending badly to be proles. Wow... 1947 - old git! (deaf too )

I feel like all I have done so far is correct you meatball.... but here is all I have to say

(only read first post, sorry if someone said this)

Obama gave a directory command to all federal law officials. It stated that any federal drug laws are not to be enforced if it is not against the law of the state that the infraction resides.

He also stated the "[Obama] will not veto a law supporting the medicinal use of marijuana.

There is your high ranking public official, the president

To shoot down hippy-hate, I'd like to point out, the dirty fucking hippies were right about somethings.

No I'm not. A "drug" is a substance that affects the human body. That is the definition. It has nothing to do with legality or anything like that.

Are you sure?? IF a "drug" is something that affects the Human body then all FOODS should be included as "drugs"?

Marijuana is a drug because it has medical benefits, same with paracetamol, aspirin, etc. Drugs simply have an affect on the human body; the name is a very broad and general term.

You have this delusion that "drug" mean an addictive substance, and to be quite honest that is a very immature and uneducated attitude. Stop lecturing me on what you clearly do not understand.

So enlighten us !!

Drug: a substance that has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

That's what i would have thought Adrian meant when he said

For those who don't know, physiological effect = affects the normal function of living organisms and their parts.

If your food is affecting the 'normal function' of your body: I'd say you've got a serious problem
