The Political Pot Thread

[Pholy M. Pia]

So do you Washingtonians and Coloradians think these props/amends are going to bring a lot of heat from the feds to shutdown/intervene with these?

Call me naive, but I welcome the showdown as I think it'll force a larger dialog and conclusion that I think is inevitable.

I agree, but I think the presence of the medical marijuana trade is an indicator here. Yes, there has been interference from the Feds, but mostly directed at the organizations that were, frankly, blatantly overdoing it. There remains a booming new old underground economy building finally coming out from the shadows into the light.

Accurate.

From NPR:

Here is the first few lines of the article, there is an interview with the source further on down the page.

On Election Day, voters in Colorado and Washington state legalized the use of marijuana for recreational use. What's next?

No, really, what happens now?

Residents in the Mile-High State are already looking to buy, says William Breathes, a professional pot critic for the Denver alternative weekly Westward. (By the way, that's a pen name for reasons that may be obvious.)

Obvious in a way that Prince Caspian or Character Zero as a pen name would not be?

It's funny because they used a bong.
