What is fixin' to happen is the neighboring states (SD, WY, UT, AZ, NM, KS, NE) are going to watch that spike in tax revenue, along with a corresponding savings in enforcement and incarceration costs and the dominoes are going to finally fall one after another.

State lotteries. Casinos. They promise the voters that the whopping increase in sales revenues will make everything so much better. I've seen it before. Hopefully they'll legalize Heroin and Meth next year. Then we'll have a dang paradise goin on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Actually, the politicians didn't pass anything. It was the voters (the ones who actually went to the polls) who swallowed the, "This wil be great for state tax revenues and it's no worse than beer and beer is legal, and the cops won't have as much work to do, and marijuana makes you peaceful and creative and besides everybody does it anyway, and the drug cartels will dry up and disappear...." campaign hook, line and, sinker.

What if they make the stuff right next door to your abode, Charlie? Not a good neighbor policy in my book. Sadly, if dope heads want to take the stuff and snuff out an otherwise good life, well, I do not have any good plans to stop them. Some folks are just too stupid to survive.

MT All it takes is voter's signatures to get on a ballot. The pro weed lobby has a lot of money nationwide and mounted a big campaign to sway folks. (Didn't take much swaying in Boulder of course) Most legislators stayed publicly out of it. The marijuana advocates are now emboldened with the CO and WA successes and are working on other states.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I've seen Capt Christ before. He is on the board of directors of LEAP Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. He makes valid points about the need for education, treatment, family involvement etc. This is nothing new and virtually no one in law enforcement would disagree. But his views on legalization are based on a frustrating career where assets are used to combat drug offenses and it's never enough. His pro legalization stance is in the minotrity in law enforcement. I just saw Dr Christian Thurstone from Denver Health on tv. He was saying how they have seen a large increase in addiction since the legalization of medical marijuana here a few years back. It will now get worse. He's particularly concerned about the parents who will have it around. Before the legalization, there were lots of people who might have wantedto try grass. The onlymbarrier, it's illegality, has now been removed. It's now okay for the folks pick up a little Cambodian God on the way home from the PTA meeting. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's okay. Legalization seems an easy fix, like rounding up and sending all the aliens back where they came from. Alas both issues are far too complicated for an easy fix. Christs opinions are his opinions. I disagree with many of them. And I'm a retired captatin too so I guess we cancel each other out. I remain firmly against legalization. I also know some police captains who think only the police should have firearms. I disagree with them too.
