Why would they go there and not to Denver? More likely to score money on the streets in a big city than a tourist town.

Unless you do a survey of all tourist towns and gauge the rate of homelessness increase -- this means nothing more than Fox, the conservative media, trying to make marijuana the big bad drug -- as they all drink at night and discuss the merits of a fine bourbon.

Yes, that is a possibility.

I would think it would be very unpleasant for some people to have to live with some of the fallout from legalizing it.

Especially if that has always been there home and they have to make a choice to leave or not.

LMAO....there absolutely is. How do you think 100's of pounds of edibles, weed, hash, hash oil, etc. from the dispensaries hit the streets? I know someone personally who drives to Colorado and buys it RIGHT FROM THE DISPENSARIES at 50-100 lbs at a clip.

And you want your points spoken to be taken seriously.
Here is a serious question. Do you on occasion enjoy an adult beverage? If so, you are doing more harm to your body than what pot might do and alcohol is addictive.

The tax revenue alone is why it should be legalized nationally.

50-100 lbs. Now that is funny. Do you have any valid articles or statistics to back this up?

It's not like people weren't smoking it before it was legalized. Most people in Colorado support the initiative and most people nationwide will as well once it has been proven to not cause the degradation of society predicted by the Christian Right. Same with gay marriage. We legalized it, the world didn't end, and now the only people who are still making an issue of it are the Christian extremists.

It is because they love their power.
