The owners of a mountain hotel and a southern Colorado horse farm argue in a pair of lawsuits filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Denver that the 2012 marijuana-legalization measure has hurt their property and that the marijuana industry is stinky and attracts unsavory visitors.
So a 'horse farm' smells good?
And what's the legal definition of "unsavory?" It's almost a self-parody. I mean, were they stoned when they filed these suits?

I wonder how many business owners are whining about all the obnoxious drunks entering the nearby liquor store down the street.. oh wait a minute obnoxious drunks are ok.

Liquor stores won't sell to intoxicated people. A pot dispensary will however sell to someone who is high.
Like gay marriage, it's simply a matter of time. The ignorant generation is slowly dying... and we will all be better off because of it.
I don't wish death on anyone, and I wouldn't necessarily say ignorant, but misinformed. My parents are part of that generation. But what did you expect when people have been brainwashed for the past 77 years or so with the "Reefer Madness" propaganda?
To me, the more interesting story here is why these folks chose the grounds that they did - unless there's more to the story.
If the issue is a local nuisance, and if the grounds are found to be valid, then that could mean amending the law to make clear that the local authorities have the right to police *where* pot businesses can locate. There's nothing groundbreaking about that, and in fact, I support it, if only to help out the folks who are having major heartburn about marijuana.
The more interesting issue is how to resolve the differences between state and federal marijuana regulation, which certainly does bring up states' rights issues.
To my mind, the most obvious way to fix all this is to remove marijuana from a Schedule I list. I dunno why there has been no push for that, I'd love to know why.
Follow the money, and the special interests that got behind implementing prohibition back in the day, as well as the special interests today that lobby to keep it going.

What?? Hahahahahaha, you've never actually been in a liquor store, have you? Can I tell you how many times I've been at one with totally drunk people in there at the same time? It happens literally ALL. THE. TIME. Every weekend in fact. Why do people just make up stupid s*it on here?
