(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So Colorado has now legalized the sale of Marijuana. What are your opinions? I think its all right. I believe not that it's legalized, some teens will stop using it because its not "cool" anymore.

I'm pretty happy about it, this just shows that US citizens are becoming more progressive and actually using their brains. Too bad Oregon failed to legalize it but it looks promising for Washington.
*Edit: Well according to several news sources and GrassCity it seems that Washington may have also just legalized Marijuana.*

On a federal level it is still illegal... And because of that they can possibly overturn or make it hell for those that attempt use. Not to mention since it is still illegal on a federal level the DEA can still arrest people for having Marijuana. While it is a large step for Americans in a certain way, it is only a step... When we need a leap.

Actually no that is incorrect. Federal law does not trump State law. The only the DEA and federal government can do now is either sue, impose an injunction, and when those don't work all they can do now is raids and that will most likely be on illegal grows (just front the $1000 for the license.) The effects will be so small scale I wouldn't worry about it. Plus with this being Obama's second term he doesn't have to care about the next election, so he might be more lenient on marijuana for once.

I know that Federal law doesn't trump state law. But that isn't to say it will not be a conflicting agent. But look at the arrests made by federal agents on those holding medical marijuana cards. Just because the federal government is supposed to play by the rules doesn't mean they will. And until people are seriously willing to join together to protect their constitutional rights we will fail. I apologize for lack of source or a sloppy rebuttals ( I am supposed to be working on a term paper which sucks ass).

While it is good they have gotten this far there are still some issues such as the fact that employers can still fire you if you test positive. I know for some jobs that is easy to deal with. But where I worked when I started the job I signed a contract which has me agreeing to possibility of a couple of random drug tests throughout the year. I feel that such action should be removed, but there needs to be a way for employers to tell if an employee is high on the job. I do see that they have a DUI system essentially setup for marijuana that is good if done properly.

You're not going to die from smoking pot... In fact there has been no scientific data showing that smoking marijuana has any affect on the developing brain. The only bad thing about smoking marijuana (in the case of anything) is that you're smoking plant matter which can damage your lungs. But then again, edibles and vaporizing...

I never called you a noob?

I would live there

When i grow up im gonna move there
