I would strongly advise him not to cross state lines with seeds.

He was kinda joking... at least, I think he was.

How in the hell would the fed know this? Are there that many dog sniffers?

Your post has already been noted and filed away in the DEA database.

And, please remember to order extra pizzas for the guys in the black vans sitting outside your house.

erm... that they could be reading my post now? they can't catch me!

Many Dakkanauts may indeed be FDAs, so be careful what you post....

Mostly that it's been used for drugs monumentally more than terrorism.

You mean the DEA / Federal Tobacco&Firearms dept... right?

Be aware that now law enforcement no longer has to get a Warrant to raid the dispensaries and then pass it on to the D.E.A. Decriminalization means that law enforcement can simply check up on the bussiness to check their compliance with the amendment, then pass on that information to the D.E.A. Meaning, it just got that much easier for the federal government to harass dispensaries.

The chances of the Denver Broncos ever winning another super bowl went down a bit.

or did they go up attracting elite players?

can you play well while high?

This is also why Montana is able to manufacture it's own ammo, and give it's citizen guns. That is iLntrastate commerce. BUT.... If you take that ammo and/or the gun, and cross the state border without a weapons permit, you are now the Fed's bitch.

While I can nod along with most of your post you seem to be mixing and matching some things. Ammunition is virtually unregulated and while mentioned in the FFA, as the name suggests. The bill is about firearms.

After reading your post I looked into it, and you are right. Thank you for clearing that up for me

Well, I know I won't be visiting Colorado any time soon. I have a severe allergy to pot, the stuff could kill me if I inhale the smoke.

the Netherlands.

I thought it was just decriminalized there??

I want to see the effects of this in 6 months in terms of whether or not major corporations will begin selling and the revenue the state is bringing in

It is legal to purchase and smoke in private or in designated cafes. They made it so only Dutch citizens could do it recently because of so called 'weed tourists' causing trouble. i.e. they got sick of spotty students with board shorts and dreadlocks turning up.

Wasn't there a canadian lawyer who got extradited for selling seeds to the States?

For having worked many years in Customer Service Call Centers, I can assure you that marijuana consumption is a great help for dealing with (annoying and dumb) people.

I follow you, now.

I seem to be one of the few people who is against the legalization of weed. I've seen too many people get obsessed over something that cost so much yet is so temporary. Also it really does change people's personalities. And not to confuse correlation with causation here, but most potheads I know do extremely pants-on-head stupid things on a regular basis.

Another reason I would vote against something like this: Every time I go to a concert, I don't want to come home smelling like a fething hippy.

NO POT HERE, thank you very much.

And I have a severe allergy to idiocy, so I won't be visiting Colorado any time soon either. Unless it is to do some backpacking, of course.

Something tells me you have a lot of anger issues.

Alcoholics tend to be bright? Oxy users tend to drive well? See where I'm going here? Abuse of anything isn't good. Nor is anecdotal evidence that pot-heads do dumb things. All people do dumb things. Should we really be incarcerating people for years or even life for a fething plant? That has proven medical uses to boot.

And how the hell do you come home smelling like smoke from a concert? I've seen Phish at MSG on new years eve and my clothes never smelled like pot. Methinks hyperbole much.

Well, I must admit I could get high just breathing the air at the last Australian Pink Floyd show I've been.

What an awesome show that was.

Also, I don't see how cost can be seen as an issue. Going out once every two weeks is going to end up costing you more than my weed consumption, and is going to last a whole lot shorter... On top of things, cost would probably go down once legalized, even taking in account the taxation that would surely occur.

I think pot should be about on par with a traffic violation. A ticket will do. Medical weed is alright by me if it is regulated. I don't drink either, I hate feeling different from normal, honestly. And no, I have no "anger issues" . I'm perfectly happy without any "assistance". Also focusing on school and such is much more important than blowing cash on weed. I wouldn't even want to risk getting caught with pot, because I've set my goals quite fething high (space engineering ftw!). Would wreck my chances for scholarships.


And I have much better things to spend money on, like airsoft and 40k

Wouldn't it be possible, let's say, to smoke pot AND to focus on school? Or do you truly believe that those are exclusive?

Well, she is, especially considering she's the example I'm trying to follow in my family.

Also, isn't James Franco a major pothead and a legendary student? Our averages are on 4.3 here, not 4, so I'm not sure what 3.5/4 qualifies at. Considering he's taken more than 3 times the amount of courses than normally permitted, I'd assume it's pretty badass.
