Ban alcohol for idiots by locking them up and throwing away the key.
Same with potheads.
And the pothead who worked on my car’s brakes and forgot to insert the springs in the proper direction, I’ll take him out on my own.
Same with potheads.
So, ban pot for idiots? How do we distinguish idiots from non-idiots?
More money to stuff those addled brains. (Ever hear of a contact buzz, Governor?)

Tell that to the "Climate Change people.
People thought it was the end of civilization as they know it. It wasn't
I think the jury is still out on that one.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. I assume it is night and partly cloudy where you are.
No, it goes to politicians instead.
huh?
Good post. I like it. I don’t understand why FR has so many drug addicts. Why do they insist upon posting here?
You forgot to add the mindless texters should be banned from the roads too.
Because it frees our minds.
And thank you for the post!
A tremendous amount of blood and treasure has been spent to keep that war going, and the more obvious answers to the worst of it are ignored (Secure the border, for starters).
If nearly half of Colorado's demand for pot is supplied by illegal sources,there is a lot of money flowing into criminal hands yet. That money won't be spent on education, or for that matter, anything else beneficial to the state.
As for drugs, we have enough problems with the recreational use of alcohol, a drug that has been wildly popular for thousands of years. Do we really need to assimilate another intoxicant into the culture? --especially one which is difficult to quantify levels of intoxication? which lingers in the body long after consumption, making the effects difficult to assess?
At least we understand the physiology of alcohol, elimination rates, long term effects, etc.
While the law may not be enough to stop the abuse of drugs, nor eliminate demand, it is a starting point. The "war" part needs to be toned down, though.
It’s not that they’re addicts, it’s that their stance is a natural conclusion of their “get the government out of our lives as much as possible” and “you’re free to be stupid; we’ll punish you only if you hurt someone” axioms.
That was a selling point, but if it was a true major goal, they should have proposed less regulation and taxes (I didn't say none).

As a pothead you can’t distinguish. You’re too f*cking stoned.
Well said.
As someone who uses cannabis (ingested) to cope with horrible withdrawal symptoms after decades of prescribed anti-depressant use with great success—I’m just here to smile at you. Peace :)
> “Why do they insist upon posting here?”
On their little pot blogs, they get bored with themselves and their stupid arguments for frying their brain cells.
So they pick a target where they can try out their stupid arguments and that would be conservative sites because conservatives by and large don’t give a sh*t for their cause.
Their day in the Sun is coming to an end as Americans have had it with all the social deceit on many levels.
As a pothead you can’t distinguish. You’re too f*cking stoned.
I haven't used pot in two decades - but for the sake of getting back to the actual issue: How would YOU have the law distinguish idiots from non-idiots?
The mods didn't.
I don’t understand why FR has so many drug addicts. Why do they insist upon posting here?
Who are the drug addicts posting here, and how do you know they're drug addicts?

Looks like someone else has been hitting the bong. Or, the bottle... ;) LOL!
Much less than before legalization - which is a win in my book.
As for drugs, we have enough problems with the recreational use of alcohol, a drug that has been wildly popular for thousands of years. Do we really need to assimilate another intoxicant into the culture?
By that logic, do we not need to remove the intoxicant alcohol from the culture? Have you heard how our last attempt to do so turned out?
--especially one which is difficult to quantify levels of intoxication? which lingers in the body long after consumption, making the effects difficult to assess?
What lingers in the body is inactive metabolic byproducts, and THC stored in fat cells (so not affecting brain or nerves) that leaches back into the bloodstream so slowly as to have no measurable or detectable effect.
