Default Colorado ski town legalizes pot!!!

DENVER — The Colorado ski town of Breckenridge has voted overwhelmingly to legalize marijuana.
Early returns Tuesday night showed the proposal winning with 72 percent of the vote. The measure would allow adults over 21 to have up to 1 ounce of marijuana.
The measure is largely symbolic because pot possession remains a state crime for people without medical clearance. But supporters said they wanted to send a message to local law enforcement to stop busting small-time pot smokers.
The vote comes as communities nationwide are struggling with how to enforce pot laws at a time when medical marijuana has surged in popularity.

Yea, I'm from Denver, and the whole Medical Marijuana thing is EXPLODING!

There's a new dispensary opening up every other day, and with so few laws to regulate the new businesses it's practically the Wild Wild West of Medical Marijuana.


Fixin' to get my medical card here real soon.

ATM here in CO it's super-easy to get a card, I even think they have people circumventing certain parts of the system so people are obtaining them without any real medical issues. I have a feeling that will change soon. People such as my self with the accomanying medical history will still be taken care of.

Eventually they'll completely legalize and tax the shit out of it.

But for the time being, an interesting anecdote; It's allready begun, I've heard of some sort of push to require that the Dispensary owners, known as "caregivers" legally, to actually provide a care-giving service beyond supplying the medicine, i.e. "bathing" or "feeding" the patients. This is one of the sneaky ways the gov can try to put a stop to this in the state of Colorado.

Imagine some pothead with a bad back who can't take prescrip painkillers needing to be given a bath by some other dude haha! I think the guy they interviewed on the local news was broadcast as saying "all I need is help eating while on radiation, not some guy bathing and feeding me." lol
