Spent 3 days in downtown Denver last summer. The streets smelled like weed all day long. The police presence was notably reduced from a few years previous, and the number of obviously mentally-ill/whacked-out people roaming the streets was MUCH higher. I support their right to smoke dope, and I'll miss the scenery, but I won't go back. SLC scratches my big city itch without being around nutjobs and dopers.

People have as much of a right to be annoyed as they do to smoke weed. I couldn't care less if weed was legal, just don't be obnoxious when someone says they don't agree with it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, regardless of whether or not they "trigger" others.

I thought Colorado closed the "gun show loophole" which makes it illegal to sell your gun even to family members without getting the FBI background check?
When you sell the gun let the guy fill out the form if you really want a bong that bad 
He has to state whether or not he's a user of a controlled substance. While glass bongs got Tommy Chong in trouble, Porsche store in Charlotte, NC used to sell an aluminum hookah. If your guy made alluminum bongs it would be a fair deal, glass bongs are only for one thing

One of the most irritating things about it isn't really the gun thing... Offering weed for guns is ridiculous in itself, but it's EVERYTHING. Try to sell anything on Craigslist or on a Facebook group and all you get offered is weed or bongs. I listed a bunch of brand new 5.11 boots that I can't wear... ZERO cash offers... 3 weed offers and 2 bong offers... What size and color are the 5.11 boots? I'm a LEO and my duty boots are coming apart at the seems, and my department doesn't have the funds right now to buy new ones

I love CO and am truly interested in moving there, but I already know that's going to be a trial of my patience. That's the whole problem I have with weed. Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass how much weed you smoke after you get off work. What you do when you're at home is up to you. It's the whole #burn420, weed air freshener, hemp clothes, ect, that I can't stand. I can drink a lot of whisky but believe it or not, my life doesn't revolve around it. |

I took my family from the SLC area to Denver last weekend to check out the Zoo and the museum. We stayed downtown in the Westin Denver.
There was a Pride Parade scheduled for Sunday along with some comic convention going on. The scene and sights were unbelievable. I won't forget the stagnant smell of mj smoke, and the crazy homeless people. There were 2 occasions where a wondering, yelling cursive & babbling homeless persons got closer than I'd have like. I don't think i'll be going back. |

More tax money for schools/anti-drug programs.
Less time wasted by law enforcement. Less money wasted in court on minor drug charges. Less money wastes housing criminals in prison on minor drug charges. Which leads to fewer individuals who become worse criminals after their prison stay. Who gives a fuck that you have to deal with one guy offering glass in trade? Fucking Nancy. |

People are moving here from other states, buying houses and gutting them and growing shit in them, then running the drugs back to their home state. There have been 5 huge busts in the last month here, and they were from Florida, Ohio, Illinois. Also, ask them about the increase in Heroin trafficking and overdoses.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Spent 3 days in downtown Denver last summer. The streets smelled like weed all day long. The police presence was notably reduced from a few years previous, and the number of obviously mentally-ill/whacked-out people roaming the streets was MUCH higher. I support their right to smoke dope, and I'll miss the scenery, but I won't go back. SLC scratches my big city itch without being around nutjobs and dopers. I don't even believe you. I was there like a month ago. The streets were fine. I rarely caught any odor of weed, and there weren't whacked out people just roaming streets. You're being dramatic. And I think we all know why. In absence of the doomsayers predictions coming true and encountering all these awful things, you've just made them up. Yep. I live in the area, and I go downtown 3-5x a week. I never smell weed, and there are not a bunch of "obviously mentally-ill/whacked-out people roaming the streets" here. Now I will say this: I was a huge proponent of legalizing MJ, and still am on the federal level. It's silly that it's illegal, and CO and WA have proven that the "blood will run in the streets" horseshit that many like to propagate (hey...does that sound familiar to any of you?) is hogwash at best. However, I hate that we were the first state to do it now. It has brought a bunch of people into CO who came solely for the weed, and that's a problem. I thought that wasn't going to happen, and even argued with people about it and I was wrong. It happened, and it will have an impact in CO for years to come. If it were legalized everywhere as it should be, this problem would be mitigated I think. Hopefully the incredible increase in cost of living we've seen in the past few years starts to keep some folks out. I already personally know some people who moved here after legalization that are leaving because they can't afford it here.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Too all you naysayers and free trade fools, see the part in red. Quoted: Trying, but not really trying, to sell or trade a Battle Flag Colt Competition AR... One of those, if it goes for my price, great, if not, oh well. I tossed it up on one of the last remaining Buy/Sell/Trade groups on the ol' Facebook. I got one offer/message so far... Dude started the discussion with, "Hey man, totally interested in that sick AR. I'm a glass blower and would gladly trade some of my work for it. I also have a 9MM STI 1911 I'd trade with a piece of my work." With his first message he produced 5 pictures of the most ridiculous bongs I have ever seen. With the last one he included, "This is the one I use. It hits hard. I could make another one just like it if you're interested." I hate that Colorado has gone down this path.... Op is correct, also once again... ...Reading is FUNDAMENTAL. Fuck the federal government and their bullshit rules. Just sayin. |

I tried it once and almost died.
I was told at the hospital that if I had ingested just ONE MORE marijuana I'd have been a goner. Pot needles, not even once. |

Eh, the legalization thing hasn't really affected me much. It's not a group I'm part of, so I really haven't noticed a difference. I still smell pot in the same areas that I always have. The most annoying thing for me are all the jokes people make when they learn I'm from Colorado when I travel.
