Never have understood why the basic economic advantages of legalization don’t come into play. Check this HuffPo 14 econonmic bennies of legalization.

America’s obstinance on this is on par with rejecting the Metric System.

I would love to boutique shop for various blends. But I wonder if the law will stay true to it’s meme of Tax and Regulate Marijuana Just like Alcohol.

I can buy beer, wine, cigarettes and spirits in Colorado with my Utah Driver’s License. I wonder if as a way to not piss off surrounding states and the whole “evil” of drugs tourism (see Amsterdam) if they confine the parameters to Collie-rado citizens only.

I’m more worried about the Highway Patrols in Wyoming and Utah. 2/3 of the Mormon Triangle and the last two states to ever legalize/decrminalize the seven leaf plant.

One way Holder/Obama put a kink in the Medical MJ “non profit” states is to get the IRS to deny business writeoffs that other non profits enjoy.

IIRC, the Medical MJ establishments can no longer deduct salary expenses on their federal returns

First thing he do is fire the hag left over from GWB’s term as head of the DEA. Michele Leonhart.

I’m sure you guys are right that Obama will betray us herbalists just like he will all the other lefties over the Grand Bargain/Sellout, Keystone greenlight and the rest of the hallmarks of Bush’s fourth term in office.

A pox on that hypocrite. Smoke dope and snort coke and then get to be president and think he’s better than the rest of us.

One), you must know that most of us libs were probably high when we voted.

And B), maryjane got a whole lot more votes than Romney.

Yes, but assuming the feds allow it, rec-pot biz would be at least 10x med-pot biz, and some form of legal banking (with no interstate biz interests lest the feds crack down) would need to be established. Maybe we can get our own ND-style state bank up and running.

Easiest way for Zero to immediately deal with the inevitable pro-pot demographics would be to de-list pot from whatever demon drug schedule it’s on, and let it work out on the state level (with the corps horning in).

That issue is specifically why I mentioned it. They have either found a bank that will do business with them, or somehow managed to operate a business without a bank account.

Point being, businesses with exactly the same state legal/federal illegal status are managing to function. Who better to move forward under the new law.

It would appear that President Obama may take his “second-place” showing quite personally … with more than token resistance, apparently.

Ah well, the Lesser Weedvil … and all that.

People MUST come to realize that it does not matter what they, the people, “want” … President Obama, clearly, knows better … and he now has all the power necessary to have his way … just the “way” HE wants it. Which fact all good, and loyal, Democrats must regard as “good news” …

Enjoy.
