Rep. Jared Polis will gladly visit a marijuana dispensary in his home state of Colorado. He’ll stand in a fluorescent-lit room with hundreds of skunky plants, discuss the different types of high someone gets from Willie’s Wonder versus Super Lemon Haze (one’s a “creative upper,” the other “uplifting and euphoric”) and ruminate on the local ban on edibles. Just don’t try to take his picture in the grow room.
“It’s like, that could go viral,” Polis says, leaving Choice Organics in Fort Collins. “I don’t shy away from the issue; we talk about it, whatever. But the problem is, we get so many more invitations to talk about it than other things, so it seems like that’s all I talk about a lot — when it’s really not.”
His chief of staff, Dan Turrentine, chimes in: “And let’s be honest, the audience in D.C. is a little different than out here.”
This is something new for Polis, the 39-year-old self-made millionaire member of Congress: He is starting to care what people think about him. The same guy mocked by GQ for his sartorial choices — known as Congress’s chief video-game enthusiast, the first member to accept bitcoin donations on the day it became legal, and a top spokesman for legalizing marijuana — now wants to be taken seriously by the establishment. That doesn’t mean he’s about to start going along to get along. It just means he’s looking for a change in style.

I would crawl on broken glass to vote against someone like that
Colorado ping!
He also is a buggery aficionado.

That was fast!
Jared Polis is a queer commie baby killer.
He’s a democrat.
I’d have bet my lunch money that he was a registered Libertarian.
Headline should read:
Jared Polis — a pro-Pol-Pot video-game playing congressman
Let’s hope he can convince his party. Get the entire Democrat apparatus stoned. They’d miss votes, appointments, and elections. It would be heaven.
In other words, he's a typical Democrat.
Wave his anti-gun history all over the place. Signs, bumper stickers, etc.
I’ll never understand how a twink’s stool-encrusted anus is preferable to a woman for these dudes.
That is the succinct way of putting it. lol
“Jared Polis is a queer commie baby killer.

No, he’s “progressive caucus” that means he’s an actual card carrying communist.
Probably was molested as a kid, that will really mess with the wiring in the brain.
Distinction without a difference.
