Pot Is Making Colorado So Much Money They Literally Have To Give Some Back To Residents

[Spooky69]

28. Talk about short sighted . . . .

To think the Colorado example of pot "legalization" is a good model is silly on many levels .

Recreational marijuana legalization is an issue about the FREEDOM to make our own choices not the right to pay taxes for something we have been doing just fine for the past 10,000 years plus without any help or interference .
Our government has been throwing us in jail for THE PAST HUNDRED YEARS on the premise that marijuana use is dangerous, will turn us into vandals, rapist's, and lunatics, and is a threat to the public health and safety . NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, its ok to smoke weed as long as you let uncle have a little bit of the money . So the motivation is only about money and certainly not about freedom .
Here we are, as if we never ever learn, all excited that the state is collecting another "vice tax" as if we dont pay enough already . We've allowed the politicians that run the state to once again gloss over the fact that we pay enough taxes already and the need for additional monies is due to intentional mismanagement, incompetence, and just plain thievery. Yet, were falling all over ourselves to celebrate a "surplus" .
But the thing that really makes me laugh is how thousands of pot heads, who have been getting busted for smoking flowers, are now running down to their local government sanctioned pot store and showing their ID's to the very same government that was throwing them in jail only just yesterday .

I dont write very well but Im sure yall can get my point - - - these pot laws suck.

For me the only real pot law would be something simple that would contain one sentence only.
The bill would read as follows : "The state of (your state here) will no longer arrest, prosecute, or jail a citizen for manufacturing, selling, or using of marijuana and / or marijuana by-products."

pretty simple huh . . ..
