[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1979814, member: 1535"] I visit Colorado frequently in my music career plus I go there quite a bit to see old friends who are California and Tulsa natives who live there now- one couple ironically run a hydroponics store and nursery in Denver and another couple of friends have their MM cards. They have been texting me since early in the evening celebrating. Being from California I will accept this as only a 'start' in the right direction towards it being legalized or decriminalized, regulated, taxed, sold in stores like liquer stores, as well people who have committed small possession crimes would then free up badly needed jail space and trim corrections budgets, etcetc. Large scale smuggling and the mayhem that goes with the territory seems likely would end at some point or be made unprofitable anyways to continue in that business when your customers could now just go to a store and buy higher quality and cheaper products. Even though there would still be some type of black market still. But, back to reality, there is still an uphill battle for them in fighting the feds for it to be totally legal in all 50 states. I dont see it happening any time soon. They should enjoy their small victories. I will still be visiting my friends there, but I wont inhale, I promise. (winkwink)...
