That's every day here in Colorado. I wonder how many folks are driving around way F-ed up. We got a huge influx of homeless people once they legalized it here.

Steve, I can guarantee you've been driving around with smoked up and half drunk people since you've been driving. I'm also sure the homeless are moving to your state to pay a couple hundred dollars to cop a buzz while they're sleeping in a trash bag..................... Nothing in the real world has changed enough to move the needle on the gauge they use to track all these changes, unless they choose to, to fit a narrative on one side or the other that they see fit to push.

It’s been one month since Missouri began approving licences for dispensaries to sell recreational marijuana, Feb. 3. In less than 30 days, Missouri’s nearly 200 dispensaries made about $103 million in weed sales, nearly $72 million of that came from recreational sales. If sales continue the way they did in February, the industry could top $1 billion in revenue this year. I will say that people from neighboring states are part of that figure. Why don't you open up a dispensary, It's big business with a lot of money to be made and it's not being run by stoners'. I look at it as a means to make money legally now instead of through a cartal. One way or the other, it's never going away, they've spent billions over the years trying to fight the war on pot. I'm sure that was money well spent. It's just a way for the government to finally get their share of the proceeds. Maybe they can use pot to fill POTholes, pun intended!! LOL
 
I will say it may help some people with chronic pain. I tried it 40 years ago and didn't care for it. Three of my kids use it. They know how i feel about it. They don't use it around me or my house. They all say they need it to cope with life. I guess I didn't raise them very well. The one piece of advise I gave them to much of a good thing can be bad. That goes for drugs, booze, beer, etc.

The folks who run the tag and title agency I deal with here in PA looked into the possibility of going into the pot business when it was legalized in PA. They passed, because upfront investment with permitting was close to $5 million. Surely a great source of revenue for the state, both upfront, and in future tax revenue. Still far more profitable for those operating under the radar in my area. Weed functions as a non government farm subsidy of sorts, and profits get funneled into local businesses.

The state sponsored business is much like hazardous waste hauling - huge fees to the government to play, but a payoff in the form of a protected market. When I ran my truck, I paid a cut to the carrier I was leased to for the use of their permits. They took the risk of paying the fixed cost if work slowed down.

Here you see crowds of homeless people gathering around the dispensaries waiting for them to open. Is it really your argument that impaired people were on the roads before pot was legal so now there are 10x more impaired people driving high and that's okay?

Judge much?

Where are "all those homeless people" finding money to buy cars and weed?

Buying at a dispensary makes it easier, I can get you two tons on the black market and always could. Testing for pot vs alcohol in your body will always yield more findings with pot, it stays in your system for weeks and in your hair till it grows out. Homeless people stand everywhere looking for anything including a new shopping cart. I would rather my doctor be a smoker than a man operating on me with a hangover. Alcohol is definitely harder on your body and family. I have a friend who has a dispensary and you have no idea what you're talking about. The lobby on alcohol has and is strong and that's why it's as cheap as it is. It's all in who is pushing what narrative. How many times can you get busted for driving drunk and buy your way out of it. Like everything, it will slow down once the novelty of it goes away and people look at it as they do alcohol. It's not the end of the world, if it were, that would have happened in the sixties. Peace out, brother!!! LOL.......... and yes I do have a dog in the fight. I have spent my whole life chasing a buck and I've never sold alcohol.
 
Up north of the border, a small town of maybe 5K has not one, but 2 pot shops... That's more that Tim Horton's has, and boy are they PO'd at that!! But like my former neighbor who had a card to buy it for medical reasons, many still buy it from their regular dealers cause the stores are so damned expensive. $20 for 1 joint.. I remember when that was a half ounce..

Hey-O, are you calling me a liar? You'd better back off with accusations like that! What, do I have to have a picture of homeless people waiting for a dispensary to open? I'm sure if I drive downtown I can get one where I have personally seen it. So you have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe that is true at your friend's dispensary. I have no idea where they get the money. Theft? Like other drugs/crime-infested cities. Let's get to basics. Do you want your kids or grandkids high on drugs or do you think they would be more successful without marijuana? Do you want to drive your muscle car on the roads with other drivers impaired by legal marijuana?

Well, the homeless people obviously do not have cars. They don't have jobs either. I suspect they are involved in crime or are panhandling to buy their drugs. The same as any large city. Studies show most cities like Seattle and San Francisco show they don't have a homeless problem, they have a drug problem. When homeless people are interviewed about what percentage of homeless are drug addicts they say 100%. Theft is so common the police do not even arrest people for it anymore. If you live in a large city you know homelessness and drug addiction are a HUGE problem.

In high school I had a picture of George Washington smoking a doob as a book cover I stole from a Playboy magazine article on legalizing it..

Honestly.. I only read the articles!

Of course you're not a liar, you just don't know what you're talking about, big difference. You see and then you assume. I really have lived a very colorful life and for me to explain it to you would take me all day. I'm already taking care of the homeless with my taxes, I can't fix the whole country's problems and as I said before, people have been driving stoned and drunk since the beginning of time and if you don't believe that you're delusional. People standing around in front of dispensarys is not allowed and is intimidating to customers. Home depots starting pay here is 16.75 and after 4 or 5 years It's 24. They should get a job like the rest of us. I don't have time for this dick measuring contest. You started this thread and I brought you the rest of the story.
 
This will get everybody to lighten up and laugh again!

Even the announcer seems to be having a tough time keeping a straight face. Just wait til you see what popular show it was on!!!!!! (Hint, your parents may have watched it and may have even forced you to.)

:rofl:
