Colorado becomes first state to legally sell marijuana

[Roronoa Zoro]

Legal marijuana sales begin in Colorado, making history - latimes.com

We've got our own Amsterdam now

Congratulations, Colorado. Quite funny though how more and more countries are legalizing marijuana, and here they're trying to get rid of all the shops selling it.

 

[Dark Master]

Im glad this is happening, hopefully people dont fuck it up somehow; its a small step in the right direction

And so it begins.

And so it begins.

As productivity ends .

I'm curious as to how this will turn out.

Thats great but as long as those dispensary prices are higher than street prices people will get their bud from the street.

I don't know about southern states though. I live in Louisiana and there just too brutal on drug offences. You get 20 years after your third strick for pot and a 5000 dollar fine. This state is ass backwards. But Louisiana loves their private prisons the head sheriff's owns.

My jurisdiction considered legalizing or medicating it. They ended up with neither and just amended the law to state that, instead of prison, they get a fine. We have a $80 billion debt and, if they had legalized it, tax revenues would have paid that debt in less than 5 years. Sadly, politicians have their greedy hands everywhere.

This change doesn't eliminate the existence of cops but may, hopefully, minutely mitigate the {racist} prison industrial complex, of which cannabis is a potent component of. At least to the extent of aiding a few lives, though producing its own complications...

Here in Canada, the Harper government's rigid on such laws. It's a shame, considering with how much of the lot we have. Potential global sales and profit, safe production and dispensation, the subversion of revenue towards illegal operators (the two points tied together: violence), the creation of occupations, tax revenue (to, ideally, go towards urban issues in particular), the decrease of wasted resources, police brutality, etc. These are just some of the possible, positive, outcomes of a well-executed legalization, with appropriate laws of usage accompanying them as well. Hopefully Febreeze sales would increase as well.

As of yesterday they've made more than 5 million dollars in sales alone. Sooo

that is quite an accurate statement.

Truly a golden opportunity for stockholders to invest on the government and these air freshen products.
