The Political Pot Thread

Georgia - 2022.  Calling it.

when Idaho and Mississippi legalize it, it's the beginning of revelations.  Or the start of the 3rd Book of Mormon.

We all know how backwards the south is.  It does surprise me to see non-southern states with horribly written drug laws.  The real revolution begins when that Mushroom shop opens up across from the Hard Rock in Vegas.  Then we know we've won.

andddd retail rec sales started today at many of the big dispensaries in town!
couple opened at 8 am and heard there was line at a couple before they opened.
Was lookin at prices 70$ / eighth for top shelf dispensary grown
60 $ / 8th for lower tier dispensary herb
50$ / 8th for 3rd party grown herb
thats all before taxes.
with a red card its about 25-50 for an eighth.
havent gone over to a rec shop yet but might walk over there and get an edible or gram pre roll or something.

Sixty-two percent of Democrats and 59% of Independents, but just 36% of Republicans, backed legalizing marijuana.

They only want you to think they embrace libertarianism.

I've been trying to tell you that for years now. :wink:

Here's a good article in the latest Rolling Stone about the current state of CO and WA's transition to legalization, and where they fit in with the country at large. One obvious takeaway: CO is doing it much better than WA.

Also, here are some of Taibbi's latest thoughts on legalizing pot.
