I don't think anyone should wait any-longer, I can certainly understand why my judge friend is a bit edgy lol The hypocritical bastards are called politicians lol Capitol hill will string along a decision long enough to get their investment dollars in first and then vote in power who they invested their money in. So I don't see a true end to this for a few years down the road, and likely big pharma or tobacco will prevail for all of our hard work. As long as it settles along the lines of alcohol, I'm cool with that. I can make wine, the 14th amendment should assure me I'll be able to grow my own cannabis. the same as I can tobacco, for personal use .Why wait? A lot of these two faced bastards love to shit-talk pot all day long- and then invest in it when nobody's looking! Specific example? How about a prominent Wyoming state legislator, who invested millions in a giant MMC just outside of Boulder, this like 3 years ago already?
Thats really why I'm steping forward and trying to be part of this, not that i'm trying to jump on the bandwaggon, but feeling like I have to join in support so we push back. I'm just a regular guy but im gonna do what I can. I do agree with AzMMJ too that we have to let them know they better back down...and as usual, the fuckin' blews loves to slant this as negatively as possible; just tonight they have some blowhards from the local chamber of commerce whining about how the negative stigma will impact the local economy. Of course they cited no evidence whatsoever...
Plenty of idiots in the local opinion pages too; how the moral fiber of our community is threatened (how? that was never addressed), how the 'small' impact of pot-tourism won't make up for the shortfall from other- curiously undefined- economic impacts, blah, blah, blah.
My favorite is the one about how this has increased access to pot for our kids- as if any 7th grader with the brains to tie his own shoes can't get his hands on some between morning classes and his lunch break right?! I don't know what planet they inhabit, but whatever THEY'RE smoking has to be pretty good!
kolah, are you staying warm up their? I agree don't want out of staters coming in just to grow or claim a plant count, just repeating what the paper stated. You are right working backward, what is so surprising about that? Just interesting watching the developments unfold. I think there needs to be a prerequisite before you start writing the new laws that will ultimately govern our state. You should have to be stoned, that way we will all see eye to eye. ha ha 100 plants, yea I would go for that, so far I have been getting by on 13 or so. Gonna need some help for that though. Anybody need a job. This is way to funny. To be continued.....I am not so sure I like the idea of non residents flocking here to CO just to grow. To me I think this will cause problems for us residents in CO and it may also send more feds here to investigate/stop interstate shipping.
I also think there needs to be some type of plant limit. 100 would seem fair to me. IMO anymore than that and it's pretty accurate to say that a grow is falling into "commercial grow" status. That would be 100 per person, per grow site. ie No combining 5 people to grow 500 at one site.
They have one entire year to pick this amendment apart, alter it for regulation and tax it. Let's hope we get some benefit out of it all.
I kinda wonder why they didn't lay down all the details BEFORE passing it....we are kinda working backwards IMO. It could have been very simplistic and straight forward. Mostly just follow alcohol regulations....that is what they advertised 64 as... "Legalize like alcohol". And drop all this bullshit MMED badging bullshit. No one needs a stinkin' badge to work in a g-damn liquor store.
First it's good to see all the new peeps getting active on the forum. New ideas and fresh comments.
Here is the latest from the Denver Post this morning. Slowly but surely county after county in Colorado is now starting to overlook those with an once on marijuana in their possession. Weld county with Ken Buck is the one holding out the most by saying nothing has changed in his county until the law actually goes into effect.
In reading the article there was a very interesting quote from Jim Gerhardt of the North Metro Drug Task Force To paraphrase he said they weren't actively arresting for simple possession anyway so not much has changed there, however grow operations will be greatly impacted by 64. It has created a loophole in plant numbers. He said we won't be able to automatically shut down a grow with more than 6 plants because if there are more than one person claiming ownership. There is nothing prohibiting 100 people combining their plant count in one location. He went on to say they don't even have to be a resident of the state or the US for that matter.
That is interesting, today my wife owns 6 plants. May start calling shirt tail relatives as well. lol
I just read where Denver is following Boulder and dropping recent MJ busts.
Is it too early for me to eat Crow, yet? :)
Do you want that fried or baked lol
How do we get laws passed in this country with such vague guidelines. Reminds me of Obama Care. It's the law of the land and NOBODY has read it. For all I know we could be supporting the Chinese health care system. But if it was read and refined it would take a 20 year feasibility study just like the ongoing study of how to lessen the congestion on I-70 on weekends. They have had an ongoing study for years and have spent millions and can't figure out what to do.

LMFAOlol...I think it's a bit early. 2014 is far off but I'll probably slow- bake the sucker....if need be...and videotape it.
Do you remember when Obama care was only like 12 pages and they complained? lolAgree. Reptilian Nancy Pelosi said "lets pass it and then we'll see whats in it." LOL. Obamacare law is something like 20,000 pages.
The states need to secede from the union, one by one. Supplement the loss in federal money by legalizing weed.
