Colorado ski town legalizes pot - Yahoo! News

21 and over can possess up to an ounce. not for medical. just for whatever.
wow.
this is actually pretty huge news, even though it's still illegal at state and federal levels. just... wow.

Matej · 11-05-2009, 02:15 AM

Breckenridge is a classy town in a really pretty location, hope a bunch of trashy people do not start going there.

There are probably like 10 permanent residents, who are all ski lift operators or rent out mountain bikes during the summer, haha.

Edit
Just logged into Myspace. Some girl who has pot leaves and Bob Marley all over her profile posted a status update saying she wants to move to Colorado.

S14_Kouki · 11-05-2009, 10:23 AM

Well this is good news. But it just has to happen to all the states now.

Yeah I thought about this too hopefully that does not happen.

DETT · 11-05-2009, 03:12 AM

Federal law trumps state law.... think about how having a state registered and legal skyline is, just because you have it doesn't make it legal. If you do it, or wave it infront of a a FBI or fed I guaran-fuckin-tee your ass is grass, pun not intended.

BustedS13 · 11-05-2009, 03:21 AM

as of about two weeks ago federal policy is to not interfere, so long as it's legal at state level. so you can put that federal baby to bed right now.

New Medical Marijuana Policy: Obama Administration Will Not Seek Arrests For People Following State Laws

but, in this case, of course, it IS still illegal at the state level.
whatever, it's a symbolic gesture, it's still pretty amazing.

DETT · 11-05-2009, 05:01 AM

I honestly don't see it being controlled for much longer, considering the stance that the oh great savior seems to be taking on that topic. Especially considering the revenue that can be brought on from taxation if it goes full blown legal, but hey I could be wrong and I probably am. Just speculating.

Ineedparts · 11-05-2009, 10:35 AM

Wonderful, now Breck will be even more crowded

WanganRunner · 11-05-2009, 11:12 AM

Yeah, this will spread like fire. Expect most of the more liberal states (and some more Libertarian western states, like CO) to legalize the stuff in relatively short order.

I'd love to walk around with a QO in my backpack and not have to worry about it, lol. I don't even really smoke anymore, it's been years, but I'd just be amused by the legality all the same.

20 til 3 · 11-05-2009, 11:16 AM

its deff a big step imo

but colorado has been decriminalized for years now... along with many other states

anyone read fortune magazine?... big articles about pot in there also(front cover headline reads "is pot already legal?", because basicly... it is, i mean i can find green almost any day... and i live in bum-fu*k nowhere

dudermagee · 11-05-2009, 11:29 AM

time to move.....

**ThatGuy** · 11-05-2009, 11:19 AM

I will explain this only ONCE in this Thread.

As Marijuana use is still FEDERALLY ILLEGAL, it is still against Forum Guidelines to speak about it's use. Do not attempt to flex your local laws, or even a Medical perscription as an excuse to discuss FEDERALLY ILLEGAL activities.

In short, do yourself a favor, do NOT talk about the use of said substances.

Thank you, enjoy your discussion.

good question.
to be conservative, I'd have to agree.
(best to safe in this respect, but it's not my forum needless to say)
suppose it could be interpreted either way.

Interesting discussion though nonetheless.
I doubt this will be the last town to do that sort of thing.
would be interesting to see whether or not,
CO enforces their law (should what the town be doing is illegal).
would really depend on the details of their state law.

**ThatGuy** · 11-05-2009, 11:30 AM

You guys are silly. This IS Loud Noises.

ronmcdon · 11-05-2009, 11:33 AM

alright I take that back, apologies.

good call on the move, thanks!

Slideways^Jordan · 11-05-2009, 11:55 AM

WoW that's a really big leap in the activist eyes.

Matej · 11-05-2009, 12:15 PM

The government should only legalize marijuana in one state. They should pick a state no one wants to live in, so everyone wanting to smoke it legally will move to the middle of the desert somewhere.

ronmcdon · 11-05-2009, 12:54 PM

Lol, i'm fairly sure other states might want in, should CO be making $$$.
I'm inclined to agree there should be at least a limited number of places where the substance is sold.
maybe not a good idea to open shops next to local high schools, family places, & such.
use and/or possession would prob be much more difficult to enforce.

will be interesting to see how this plays out.
times are certainly changing, lmao.

There is a liquor store less than a mile away from my old High School, hell if you have a beard and it's past 10pm you don't even need an ID.

I fail to understand the double standard with dispensaries.

cc4usmc · 11-05-2009, 01:08 PM

I'm glad I don't live in that town.

Probably something like this...

ronmcdon · 11-05-2009, 01:46 PM

I vote West Virginia or Kentucky. (should it be hypothetically limited to 1 state)
the hill-billies are growing it in bulk anyways.
might as well just legit their existing industry.

Yah there's a double standard for sure.

personally I would find having liquor sold anywhere close to a hs to be in poor taste (if not also reckless).

then again if you're desperate enough drunk and/or pothead,
I suppose any reasonable distance isn't going to discourage you.
maybe it matters little, idk.

Meh california has gone to the wasters anyway, I'll let you guys keep all the hippies and potheads, hell you have dispensaries and private farms FAR larger than our backwards hill jacks farms lol

End of argument, you keep the hippies in CA the rest of us don't want them.

Bah, more like yuppies!
there really aren't that much hippies here as the media would like you to believe (or at least not any more than any place else).

Where I live los angeles really doesn't have that many hippies.
weed smokers are plentiful nonetheless.
our freeways (particularly the 101 along hollywood) smell like skunk all the time.
You don't have to be a hippy to smoke.

Once other states see how much extra money they are missing out on they will change there mind. Then the fed's will just have to back down Hopefully. Then they can put all that money into finding the real drugs not waste billions on small time pot smokers.

Like I said earlier I am pretty sure all this did was eliminate the "cracking" down possession charges for marijuana. Smoking it, dealing it, or carry anything more than an ounce on ones person is a convictable crime. They state is not seeing a DIME, nowhere did they say they are selling marijuana at the corner store and taxing it. The cops will still find people and pull them over / question them, its now just that if they have an ounce of marijuana on them they have to find something else to write them a ticket for (which is exactly what will happen). To me personally I think its a horrible idea.
