Ah. Well it's a start. Hopefully people in those other counties can get it allowed there.

I would guess that alcohol is responsible for more death, and misery than any other drug - taking many innocent lives. The biggest detriment associated with pot comes from punitive government actions! People should be able to live their lives how they see fit if they do so responsibly; not placing others in harms way! The war on drugs is a war against Americans; freedom! This dichotomy of pot vrs. booze escapes me - get slobering drunk they call you a cab, get a little pot buzz they call the cops? That vet deserves to smoke all the weed he wants - ooh rah!
Just curious. Why is it only legal in 9 of Colorado's counties? I thought the vote was state wide?

That will work as well as dry counties in southern states. Did someone mention curtailing illegal activity as a plus here? Yeah, that doesnt work either.
Should legalize all illicit drugs. Safety isn't a valid excuse since nicotine and alcohol are both legal. What should it matter how someone gets stupid or kills themselves? Can die drinking a liter of liquor on the spot (or for that matter a gallon of water.) Reason for the prohibition is fairly clear, many of the drugs like marijuana produce calm-inducing peaceful behaviours. Not the kind of thing a country bent on military conquest wants lest another hippy anti-war movement get started. (ducks as a lone corporate gunman's bullet whizzes overhead)
So your argument is that alcohol and tobacco present problems and we should make these problems worse by allowing other dangerous drugs? Let me know how it works out.
Yeah, an entire state stoned out of its mind. We'll see how happy people are with that, and what it does to public safety.

Pot isn't dangerous. No one's ever died from pot/THC, and there's no lethal dosage for it (whereas alcohol kills partiers every day hitting the lethal dose.) If you can die on the spot from too much booze, prohibiting illicit drugs because they're dangerous doesn't make any sense. Stuff ad'ed on tv is dangerous too. This one for plaque psoriasis can cause instant death AND cancer. But they ad it on tv. Where's the sense of that?
No hippy ever got cancer from shrooms or acid.

It is being treated as if alcohol, and the 21st amendment allows states, counties and cities to regulate alcohol as they see fit.
Are you really comparing crack to water? Seriously?So? So's water. Wanna ban that too? Too much water interupts cellular function causing death. Water intoxication it's called.
Too much of anything is dangerous. But drugs are not as dangerous as the media's portrayed.
"Because governments formulate criminal and social policies based upon classifications of harm, a new study published by the Lancet on November 1st makes interesting reading. Researchers led by Professor David Nutt, a former chief drugs adviser to the British government, asked drug-harm experts to rank 20 drugs (legal and illegal) on 16 measures of harm to the user and to wider society, such as damage to health, drug dependency, economic costs and crime. Alcohol is the most harmful drug in Britain, scoring 72 out of a possible 100, far more damaging than heroin (55) or crack cocaine (54)."

Hardly. Or it would be taxed the same and public outlets like bars would be allowed. It's basically a baby step over decriminalization.
Finally, in 1986, the electorate voted to repeal the prohibition on open saloons in Kansas, effective January 1, 1987.[4] The Legislature thereafter amended the Liquor Control Act to regulate and license sales of alcohol in bars in any county which had approved the 1986 Amendment or did so subsequently and only in towns with a population greater than 11,000 (lowered to 5,000 in 2000).[4] Sunday sale of liquor was prohibited, but Sunday sale of CMB was permitted in restaurants deriving more than 30% of their profits from food.[4] All of these new establishments and allowances were subject to a 10% "drink tax."[4] Grocery stores were prohibited from selling any liquor besides 3.2% beer.[4]

Of course people have died from pot. They just call it something else.

The minute someone gets high and steps out their door, their high affects others. So let them get high in their private homes.
Under the Colorado law, a landlord can evict someone if they know they use pot and an employer can fire someone who uses pot, even if they never use it on the job.
