Best post today ! I also especially look forward to the explicit instructions definitely aimed at the completely brain dead, who are then rewarded with a tootsie roll or mint at the end of the process. Especially enjoyable is the "instructor" invariably appears to be more senile than those being instructed on how to push a stylus into a "hole"....LOL ! As we say in the south, bless their tiny hearts, they mean well.

As a medical card holder I agree 100%. I obtained a card, because even after paying the fee, it’s cheaper than bail.

Since when? Does the government know this?
If it’s legal already, why do they need legalization on the ballot.

Yup, I agree. Tell all the drunks around this place that we are going to ban alcohol. You wanna see a hell of an uprising. I don’t think smoking a joint is any worse than the alcohol people consume here. You can put me in for a big.YES

If only alcohol had stayed illegal all those years ago, the world would be a much better place!

Tax revenue doesn't exist since black market is cheaper so not much uptick in sales from legalization.

Corporate Marijuana grow operations make millions, that's why the big push for legalization.

Look into Marijuana psychosis, it's a very real thing.

IMO still be in same boat with illegal drugs. Making something illegal not going to stop it.
Why does taxing something make it right or legal or good? :shrug:

This is my main concern.

It's for "home use" only? So you can get stoned but can't leave your house until you feel sober?

What if they injure themselves/anyone else in a car accident?

What if they show up to work stoned (doctor, nurse, city bus driver)? Is an employer able to legally fire them?

Just a lot of things that don't seem to be addressed yet.

I'm thinking with all the tourists planning on having "fun" here... yes there will be a LOT of pot in public places... beaches and parks, etc. Will be difficult to contain to "home use" only.

Before you vote envision your next day at the beach sitting in fumes, or at the squares listening to music with the smoke wafting over you. The non-dopers soon stop coming and welcome to Denver, at those venues they are all that’s left. Once it starts you will not enjoy those places again.

THIS!! ^^^:bigbow:

Vote No! We don't need that crap in Florida!

It’s already here, unregulated, and by definition, sold by criminals. This is a way to clean up the industry and increase state revenues
