Helen Thorpe ( Hickenlooper's ex-wife ) said that legal pot is affecting kids negatively, especially edibles.

That there would be greater incidents of car crashes involving marijuana users is unsurprising.

What it doesn’t tell me is if the overall auto fatality rate has increased or decreased, as the total fatality rate would be a more telling correlation of marijuana’s effects

Leftists always seem to use inverse logic. Poor and dependent on government is a good thing to them. The successful are enemies of the state.

The governor of Colorado is another stooge politician in Soros’ pocket.

The “Chicken Pooper” is still governor out there? Wow.
He did Colorado a grave disservice when he made them trade their rifles for dope.
I doubt they’ve yet seen all the unintended consequences of that little ordeal yet. We used to go to Durango on vacation about once every couple of years. The last time we were there was the last time we’ll ever be back. Degenerates have taken over the place.

When I saw this I couldn't help but tell the story of a woman I met yesterday while I was sitting at the garage having my car worked on. She came in with her rat-sized dog on a leash. We got to talking, and she mentioned that she had been a Correctional Sergeant in a woman's prison in Colorado, and moved back to this area after she retired to be near her daughter. What a coincidence, I had worked for 25 years in the NY State prison system as an officer, and a Sergeant, but I'd only worked in male prisons. Turns out we were both the same age...70. She told me she'd been married 3 times, and I told her I'd learned my lesson after my one and only marriage that ended in divorce back in '79. Somehow our conversation got around to health problems, and she told me she had some, but didn't take any pills to treat them. Told me she drinks a glass of cabbage juice a day, and every night she smokes a joint so she can sleep.

She went to make herself a cup of coffee with the Kueurig machine they have, and looked for the sugar, but couldn't find it. All they had was Sweet & Low, and Equal. I asked her if she wanted a Splenda as I carry them in my purse. I'm diabetic so switched to Splenda when I was diagnosed. She went on a rant, telling me that those sugar substitutes aren't good for you, that they do all sorts of things to your insides, and will eventually kill you. She finally found some sugar and put it in her coffee, then decided she was hungry and took a walk across the street to the bakery. By the time she got back her car was ready, and she left. I had a good laugh over this woman, because after her tirade about sugar substitutes, I discovered she was a smoker, not just of marijuana, but regular cigarettes. I guess she doesn't realize what cigarettes do to your insides. I know both my parents and one sister died of lung cancer.

My town of origin has a new school and other improvements due in part to taxation of marijuana sales. There are two dispensaries in the town of 500 so I guess that makes De Beque the pot capital of Colorado.

Of the three MJ smokers I can't disassociate myself from:

1) One is dead of drugs at 30

2) A second toker, a biker who's also a retired sheriff's deputy, is tethered to oxygen at 70. His girlfriend, maybe 60 y-o, smokes MJ even more often and just had a heart attack.

3) A third toker, a neighbor and very long-term regular user, is also tethered to an oxygen bottle. For years, I never saw him outdoors. Retired at 60 from a grounds-keeping job, and inheriting millions, he can no longer visit his summer lake place.

Fake News.

Hickenlooper tried to stand in the way of legalized cannabis, he was steamrolled by the people.

Colorado’s economy has grown by leaps and bounds this decade with a standard of living most states would kill for.

Legalized cannabis is here and it is staying because it is the wish of the majority of voters.

Nanny Statists and Busy-bodies will have to find another dragon to slay. Their Jihad is over.

We hope the governor will use his considerable skills to foster a national dialogue to help limit the harm to youths and communities from legalized marijuana.

Funny. I thought the conclusion to this report would be to roll back pot legalization. Instead, it's just about more regulations...that won't work.

Lets just keep weed illegal so the criminals and the criminal bankers can keep getting rich off it. It’s worked all this time, why change it now?
