Now isn´t that special? What a bunch of morons.

Duuude!

I hope the cops were around to watch for stoners who tried to drive home.

And how many potters will be found lying on the ground too stoned to move on home or just dead?
Son tells of picking his way through A Danish city back when drugs were first legal stepping around and over bodies living and dead looking for AWOL American soldiers.
If the bodies hadn´t moved by late afternoon they were scooped up and tossed into carts like garbage to huwl off

I thought the law was for using on your own property.... so didn´t they all just break that law?? or it just doesn´t matter, everythings cool.

There is a time and a place for everything. That was their time. Maybe not the place. To shove it in our faces is just like the liberals. This United States is fast becoming unrecognizable to me.
I would probably go along with a well regulated legal pot market nationwide, where they sell limited amounts and TAX it heavily. This, in my mind, could help with crime rates, over-populated prisons, and perhaps ease up on the drug cartel violence. That´s the libertarian in me.
But this thing they did in WA and elsewhere seems like just releasing the horse´s reigns with no intent to control it. Could be wrong.

Their mothers must be so proud.

What about second hand smoke? No problem suddenly?

There are many angles to the cannabis legalization question, some of which merit serious thought. At the same time, the incredible importance and apparent regular use of this drug to what is clearly a large number of Americans, is unsettling. How many potheads, as opposed to occasional users are there? One cannot help wondering what accounts for the fervor of some users to make the drug more available. It is difficult to deny, of course, that legal prohibition of cannabis has proved to be an expensive and futile endeavor, serving principally to enrich suppliers and drug dealers. But that is only because of the enormous demand. Is America becoming a nation of potheads? Marijuana consumption and advocacy and Leftism seem to have some kind of innate natural connection. Perhaps weed is now the opiate of the masses, soothing and calming and mellowing them out to prepare them for the serfdom that awaits those who succumb to the Sirens´ song of collectivism. And it seems likely that smoking pot makes belief in Leftist fantasy ideology easier for some. I don´t know the answer to the legalization question, for there are arguments pro and con. It is the huge demand for this mind altering substance that concerns me.

Just try to light up a fine cigar there.

Hope Washingstonians are prepared for the great buzzkill to descend upon them when the DEA decides to re-assert federal jurisdiction over Schedule 1 drugs there.

Re #3 -- it´s virtually impossible to O.D. on marijuana. Anyone who tries will eventually just fall asleep until it wears off.

#7 Yeah, that is what gets to me!

Look for this one to be repealed. They have no idea what they have just unleashed.

Now the test begins.

Other countries that have legalized pot report their experiences as:

• Use and sales of illegal drugs went up
• Cost of police enforcement went up
• Rehabilitation costs went up
• Drug usage deaths went up
• Violent crime went up

For example, see reports to the Swiss parliament, which has reversed itself now.

Just what America needs. More purposeless and mindless behavior. That 47% will be at 52% within a year. Put them all on unemployment to stimulate (sic) job growth.

Pot smokers welcome on the public square, but Christians banned.

Well prohibition of pot has worked so well in this country. Almost as well as the 18th amendment.

Soma for the masses. I´m sure our majesty, George Soros, is pleased.

Good. Now all the dopeheads can move to Washington and Colorado and I won´t have to deal with them.

And in Boulder, CO they are now outlawing smoking in some outdoor areas, while overwhelmingly voting to legalize smoking pot a couple weeks ago. Good thing they never have to reconcile all the contradictions.

Leading to all this was Eric Holder giving a free pass to all "medical pot" users and low level traffickers four years ago by the phony claim of only focusing limited federal resources on big dealers. That garantee of no federal prosecution of such use and trafficking has resulted in the explosion of pot shops in "medical marijuala" states. Also resulting in teen drug use soaring along with drug market profits much of which went to re-elect Obama.

Look for DOJ and DEA to continue that ruse for granting another free pass to exempt users and minor traffickers from obeying federal laws against pot use and trafficking in Washington State. Also look for Obama and Congress going deaf, dumb and blind to this quickly developing American horror story.

Yo..yo..Which airplane manufacturer is in Washington?? Boeing?.....Yeah that´s the ticket!!! Who is wanting to ride the friendly skies when those stoners put one together???

I hate Washington state. And I live here. Creeps. King County (Seattle) screws the rest of us. Saw some teenagers walking down a path yesterday openly smoking marijuana.
1. they´re minors
2. they´re outdoors
...both of which are not allowed under the new POS "law"...but hey, u kidding, you´re gonna enforce the "fine points"...NOT! Idiots. I´m moving and taking my tax dollars with me, thanks DEMS.

Marijuana is not a healthy drug. However, I do support its availability as a prescription drug only for terminally ill patients or patients who are suffering pain that is insufferable.

Updating a classic: Okay, all the freedom haters out there, find all your music files and delete them. Those musicians? Really, really stoned.
