Joe's Smoke Shop on a ski slope at Breckinridge Ski Resort in Colorado was blown up. Skiers were taking breaks, smoked some weed, got stoned and then proceeded down the slope.

Maybe Colorado should have designed slopes for those who want to get high and let them slam into trees and crash into each other.

Ah... Rocky Mountain High! It's not like people didn't smoke marijuana and drive before. It's just out of the closet now.

So they legalized pot, which has created such a high level of additional risk to the safety of society, that they need to run PSAs?

Driving under the influence has always been illegal.

Or, it's reminding people that like ALCOHOL being legal, marijuana use can impair your ability to drive a vehicle, and is illegal.


Believe it or not some people do not realize that driving while under the influence of narcotics OR ALCOHOL is illegal.

Ok, so subtract the cost of the ads from the tax raised from selling pot.......

Wonder why someone thought expensive ads were required to keep people safe?

No labels on the pot sold yet? hope they use the larger sized font when they do, the same size that is being forced on food labeling.

The majority of Colorado people are certainly stupid enough, they have to be told not to drive stoned.
