Colorado proves that legal cannabis is an enormous fucking no-brainer

Colorado proves that legal cannabis is an enormous fucking no-brainer
http://reset.me/story/six-months-legal-m...-thriving/

Property values, tax revenue and employment are way up. Crime, violent and non-, is way down. The state is pulling in tens of millions in revenue and saving almost as much from the elimination of cannabis arrests. People are happy. Lives aren't being ruined nearly as much by this extremely racist drug war the rest of the country seems intent on continuing against its own citizens.

Can we please stop being colossally stupid about this and legalize it everywhere? Like, now?

You know the rules.
The only reason it's "illegal" is because the govt doesn't get its cut from it.
The world's biggest killers are alcohol and tobacco and the govt has decided that they are perfectly OK for human consumption.... Fucking money hungry hypocrits!

Trust its just as easy to make your own alcohol or cigarettes as it is weed
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Indeed. During prohibition you could buy powdered grape juice that came with instructions that told you very carefully what not to do with it because if you did why that would make wine. Which would be illegal. Wink Shades

You have heard of moonshine?

Just to play devil's advocate a little, maybe they are such large killers because they are legal and therefore widespread.When people say this it always sounds like more of an argument for legalizing tobacco and alcohol than for the legalization of weed. Would people really risk jail time for cigarettes?

Yes, they would. In fact they already do. Cigs can be considered contraband, and prisoners can have their sentences extended for repeated violations. They don't seem to stop smoking because of this.... It's an addiction, the normal risk/reward behavior has been modified -by use of the substance-. That's what makes "sin tax" such a lucrative proposition for government. They know that people won't stop, they're counting on them not stopping - but they get to wash their hands about it as they cash the check.

Meanwhile, 20 months after WA legalized weed, we still can't buy the shit legally, outside of Seattle. Fuck you for dragging your feet, fuckers

Where are all the free market types rushing in to service the consumer? You'd think that you'd be awash with the stuff huh? Hehehe, pot dealers and backyard growers are not farmers. Give me one season and some haybaling equipment.....marijuana co-op anyone?
