In Colorado, We Are Entering a Stoned New World

We are entering a Stoned New World here, as Colorado entrepreneurs come up with new ways to make money in the new… ah… atmosphere… of tolerance. It’s also an interesting test case for longtime proponents of legalization such as myself, to see what happens when perfect theory encounters an imperfect world. Our first stumbling block is that the state-sponsored growers and sellers cartels have kept prices artificially high (no pun intended), so we still have a black market for the green herb. That also means, as we’ve discussed here before, that tax revenues are not meeting expectations.

So you have never tried to make beer yourself and I don’t know why you keep telling me about it, I have made beer, and my father did, my modern beer making materials are about 30 feet from me right now, and you have never grown pot either.

I asked you if you make the beer for you and your friends, almost no one does that, or does it permanently after the novelty wears off because it is too much work, but pot growers do, and if they feel safe from the law, then they keep doing it.

Besides, you are getting too far away from the point, make growing pot legal and it will become common, free, unlimited pot growing in your back yard or on your patio, would be silly not to have.

You have never made beer yourself, have never grown pot, are you at least a vegetable gardener who grows tomatoes every year?

Why do you have to turn everything into a pissing contest? I don’t participate in them, I’ve learned even the winner gets wet.

We’re done. You’re wrong. Good bye.

I didn’t see any mention made of the problems this legal pot has brought to the states bordering Colo. in the area of law enforcement. Maybe these states can send Colo. the bill for some of the problems their idiots have created?

Weird ramblings there, but Western Civilization has always used alcohol, including socially, while refusing to adopt Cannibis.

See post 41, you created a pissing contest on things that you don’t seem to have even done, and made claims that simply flies in the face of reality.

I’m not sure who is going to be doing that, and I can’t recall the name of the talk show host. He is on 740 AM out of Denver daily at about 9am until about 11 am.
