Boulder County detectives find marijuana plants at scene of triple homicide - Boulder Daily Camera

This just the latest in the many robberies, burglaries and drug-related homicides in Colorado.

Amazing, the massive surge in homicides and robberies since the pot shops started infesting the city of Denver.

In 2010, Denver had 33 homicides

In 2016, Denver had 58 homicides

In 2010, Denver had 1,002 robberies

In 2015, Denver had 1,239 robberies

I am all for very controlled medicinal marijuana but it is completely out of control in Colorado.

There are some states that have it legalized at the state level for limited medical conditions which I don't see an issue with.

In Colorado though it is basically a mecca for it. Travelers can't stay in some hotels, the light-rail ridership seems to be weak because of the contact high many people don't want and overall it has caused Colorado to have massive rates of far more serious drug use then other states.

Some of the light rails, hotels and motels reek of marijuana. I have been in Southern California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado recently.

Only Las Vegas can compare to Denver when it comes to smelling it in public.

Colorado Springs and Denver also have a massive heroin epidemic due to the states ultra-liberal turn the other way policies towards illicit drugs

So distraction of the week is a handful of zealots attacking weed despite the fact Sessions would get his ass handed to him if he comes after Weed states...

frankly it would be a god send if he did. It would give the dems 2 more senate seats without a doubt, maybe 6-8 more..


pleasee sessions go after Alaska i would love it.

I wonder how often alcohol is found at crime scenes. I bet it's more often than pot.

Stoners just want to get stoned.

Those fools have no redeeming qualities. The dregs of society that need an artificial substance to "escape". Escape from what?

Trust me, as a Colorado resident, nothing is "out of control".

However, because of the massive funding provided to prohibitionists in Arizona to fund their propaganda campaign, combined with your location, I can see why you think so.

As far as the small uptick in crime that you have considered so out of control, anytime the government forces a multi-billion dollar per year industry to operate on an all-cash basis you are going to have to expect the industry to be targeted by criminals.

I'd much rather live in any of the cities you listed than live in Gilbert.

All that stuff and no "cause and effect" proof of any of it. "Lies, damn lies and statistics" Mark Twain was right.

Whats out of control is that people like Sessions are the root cause of this. This is what happens when you force a business to operate all cash. Trying to tie it to marijuana is nonsense. You should be ashamed.
