Could this be paving the way for the rest of the world? I just hope Obama has a good chat to Cameron and lets hope UK can eventually follow suit.


Why can't we all just get along?

Voters in Washington and Colorado became the first states to LEGALIZE THE RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA! They'll regulate sale of marijuana in privately owned stores, and create a standard for driving under the influence of pot. The law includes a 25 percent sales tax on marijuana. Forty percent of the new revenue will go to state and local budgets. The rest of the taxes are to be used for substance abuse prevention, research, education, and health care. Once vote totals are finalized in the in the next month, anyone 21 and older can legally purchase and possess up to an ounce of pot. <<what i found on the subject!! :D lets hope the federal falls for this and no DEA showing up like the Nazi party brown shirts ;)

Marijuana
Voters in 38 states have been asked to decide on 176 ballot initiatives, ranging from highly contentious to simply unusual.
Colorado and Washington appear to be heading towards a conflict with federal authorities after voters approved measures allowing the possession and sale of marijuana for recreational use.
The US Department of Justice said in reaction to the vote that its drug enforcement measures would remain unchanged. Marijuana is classified as an illegal narcotic.
In Colorado, the measure would allow people over the age of 21 to possess up to an ounce (28g) of the drug, and to cultivate up to six marijuana plants.
Separately, measures to approve the medicinal use of marijuana were on the ballot in three states, including Massachusetts, where it appears to have been passed.

I'm obviously hoping for the best, and a snowball-type situation to begin with other states.

BUT...I'm also waiting for the feds to show up and Rochambeau Colorado or WA, a la Cartman from South Park.

washington state has already set up their cannabis site on the liquor control board site. if the feds don't get involved the law will take effect on december 6 and the state will probably have a system for the sale of cannabis by this time next year.
educating myself and waiting for the next trip.

Nope, and I'll tell ya why...
It's been a ruse, the whole thing is a sham. This whole pro-cannabis (bowel) movement was the brainchild of the CIA. :shock:
A plan was conceived to assist the DEA in identifying major figures in the cannabis movement. Success!!! :o
Wait for it................ on the 6th of December 2012, mass arrests will be made in CO and WA. Excellent for the private prison system. :wink:
Sports stadiums will be used as temporary holding areas. We've seen this before... :twisted:
CO and WA in one day will have more people in detention/jail than all other nations combined. :cry:
The FEDs will not back down, and Obama will remain feckless (ineffective) mainly because the WCR (White Christian Repuglican) controlled congress is dictating national policy.

Wow... :o :shock: :roll: and finally :lol:
I suppose the use of the winking emoticons at the beginning and end meant nothing? :wink:
Sheesh, some need to relax, I'm having a bit of fun. Look up the meaning "taking the piss" and "taking the piss out..."
If anyone doesn't like what I write, may I suggest moving on to the next thread, nice! :)
Better yet, and although I'm not a supporter of the option, for those not wanting to read my posts simply hit FOE. Too easy...

Wait for it.........................
