These hypocrite politicians have some balls, I'll give them that. If they were a bit smarter they would be allocating that money for schools, roads, and the real elephant in the room: state employee pensions.

Thanks for the heads up Shaggyballs.

You sound like a blast to hang out with at a party. You assume just because a state has "legalized" that is a good thing for everyone that consumes cannabis.

That statementt is full conflict with itself.
Funny that you think jailing people for cannabis is not a waste of money, now that is a real laugh.
If there is a worse way to spend dollars earned from selling cannabis and using that money to lock people up for selling cannabis?
What is it?

Was it not the purpose of legalizing cannabis to keep people from being jailed over a plant.

No, thats right Cannabis was legalized in order to profit from this plant.
Legalization will just to allow the rich to get richer.
Big cannabiz and the tax man are gonna be very well off.
Now cannabis is paying the way for people to be locked up for cannabis.
What a joke, the American people have been fooled into thinking legalization means people will not be jailed for a plant.

I do not care what anyone has to say, when some people profit from the same action as some people are being jailed for it is an atrocity by any standard.
So what you mean to tell me is you believe in anarchy? You feel just because you are allowed to grow 10 you feel entitled to grow 1000? You are missing my point. They have legal options these people they break the law not because they love cannabis but because of greed. Fuck them they will make people want to take away legal weed. If you get caught breaking the law too bad. Its not a laughing matter jailing people who cant follow simple laws, they have legal avenues. Its rediculous.

People like you will never be satisfied unless you can do whatever you want and still even then... lets see... thats the attitude your post presents. I dont get why anyone feels sorry for those people. If they quit growing illegally law enforcement would be like sweet job do e lets spend the mo ey taking out meth dealers the potheads finally fell inline.

Your statement not caring what others have to say, it goes both ways. I think you are too entitled. The morons who get swept up in those busts probably should have got a real job. They could work in the legal weed industry they choose not too. Its their call they know the risks. They dont want to make $15/hr they wanna take home max profit millions a year if possible and not pay taxes. How is that right when everyone else does it right?

We spend money on police to police us. Its a fact of life get over if if you dont like the law go fight it call a politician not complain on a forum. Spend less time fantasizing about "big cannabis" taking over the world and do something. Monsanto wont take over the world walmart isint going to either. These large corperations have their negatives but the whole conspiracy thing is nonsense. Why would they want to jail everyone who would work for them then? Im not going to spend anymore time on this. As soon as people bring up conspiracy im out like a flash my heart cant handle the laughing fits...

Wrong again quote me if you can! You are missing my point.Well what is your point? They have legal options these people they break the law not because they love cannabis but because of greed. Fuck them they will make people want to take away legal weed. If you get caught breaking the law too bad. You have made it clear you do not care if people are doing hard time for a victim-less crime.

Its not a laugh jailing people who cant follow simple laws they have legal avenues. Read my signature for this answer. People like you What are you referring to when you say people like me. What kind of person am I? People like me need to be locked away in your eyes..WOW! will never be satisfied unless you can do whatever you want and still even then... lets see... Have you ever heard of a thing called freedom? It would seem from your statement that you are not a fan.

Your statement not caring what others have to say, it goes both ways. I think you are too entitled. Entitled to freedom, yes I am! You seem to know me but your off base here. The morons who get swept up in those busts probably should have got a real job. By your statement I can see you are a very judgmental person. They could work in the legal industry they choose not too. Its their call they know the risks.
Never said they did not have a choice. Where the hell this came from, dunno.

We spend money on police to police us. Wrong, they take an oath to serve and protect the people. Is that what you call protecting us from ourselves?Its a fact of life get over if if you dont like the law go fight it call a politician not complain on a forum. Now you would like to take away my freedom of speech too. Spend less time fantasizing about "big cannabis" taking over the world and do something. You sound like you think your my boss/ mom.Monsanto wont take over the world walmart isint going to either. These large corperations have their negatives but the whole conspiracy thing is nonsense. It is? I have given countless facts to back my statements. You?? Why would they want to jail everyone who would work for them then? Im not going to spend anymore time on this.Bye-Bye
Did you read my signature? What do you think of that?
This guy is not even aware of what is going on around him.
Must have his head in the sand or stuck somewhere else....LOL

Yes, yes I do. Please explain how it is not a good thing. Every single person can grow 6 plants, and flower 3 at a time. If they don't want to grow, they can allow someone else to grow their plants for them (co-ops). So there should be no problem with cheap and legal access to it. It also means that you don't have to worry about having your door kicked down for a personal grow. It also means that you don't have to worry about loosing your car or freedom if you want to carry some around with you.

Sorry If I sound harsh, I put a lot of time and money into the legalization efforts in CO, but unfortunately left the state before we won the war.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-sta...-co-op-growing

There is just one case, where the flood of black market growers are f'n it up for everyone else in the state that just want to grow, posses, and smoke their own. So no, I don't have any compassion for the greedy fucks taking advantage of what a lot of people worked very hard to accomplish for the people of Colorado.

How do you think the cops are going to find illegal grows? They will do it by coming into your so called legal grow to "check for compliance".

Hell yeah I remember it, I live in Boston! People around here formed up militias when the British government taxed their tea. We have re-enactments every year.
