Our governor here in Colorado, Hickenlooper (R), is hell bent on keeping the weed money. The municipalities that have allowed recreational sales are collecting taxes hand over foot, and the state has its own taxes in place to milk the cow. Manitou Springs is a good example. They only have a handful of recreational shops open, conveniently next to a city with nearly half a million people and no recreational shops allowed outside of a few clubs (pay $5, you're a member for a day) that have been given a hilarious 8 years warning before the city shuts them down. Anyhow, Manitou levies a 25%~ tax on all recreational sales, and the prices there are double to triple what it goes for in Denver or Pueblo. That's a lot of drat side action that would go missing for that city if the feds shut down just one of their shops in town. And the money (for the state, anyway) goes to funding poo poo like upgrading prisons, buying police equipment, and social safety net poo poo, as well as dumb poo poo like advertisements for telling kids pot makes you dumb.

Re: Colorado cannabis quote:A bill pending in the Legislature would allow pot growers and retailers to reclassify their recreational pot as medical pot if a change in federal law or enforcement occurs. http://www.thecannabist.co/2017/03/27/colorado-federal-crackdown-marijuana-recreational-medical/76138/

I'm in school in Trinidad, CO. The only reason this city can fund anything is pot shops. In a city of ~9000, there are 31 shops, with 42 approved.

What kind of marijuana commercials do you guys get in those legalization states? Michigan is medicinal-only right now, but I've seen several ads along the freeway for the WeedMaps app, all about how to find your nearest dispensary. At first glance, I thought it was a billboard for a new maps app like Waze, then I read the name and started laughing hysterically.

He's shot what credibility he had and cast his lot with Putin apologists.

This strikes me as a very good idea and one that more states should do: naloxone (opioid overdose reversing drug) over the counter. https://twitter.com/jasonnobleDMR/status/846438744727179266 Edit: he's SO CLOSE to becoming self-aware.
