Governor: Colorado pot market exceeds tax hopes

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

 

"You put it in terms that they may understand," Carol said in an interview with Mashable, who first reported the story. "I'm not condoning it, I'm not saying go out in the streets and take marijuana [...] It also adds a little bit of cool factor. I can be a cool parent for a little bit."

Wow Glenn. Are you trying to take the stupid title from Ms Tree?

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

Because I posted an article about Girl Scouts selling cookies outside a pot shop? Do you see those quotation marks and link to the story below it?

Comprehend much?

I bet that little capitalist doesn't go to a socialist public school.

On a related note, non revving to Colorado destinations is at an all time high.

😀
 
It gives a whole new meaning to "Rocky Mountain High"... 🙂

He took an oath to uphold American law and has REFUSED to do so. Add that to his list of lies.
 
 
 
I find the reference to my "binary world" peculiar.
 
Are you saying I only see things in black (0) or white (1) and never gray?
 
Or
 
Is that supposed to be a subtle joke where you are referencing my  "socialist programing: 2+2=5 (a liberals ability to self-delude) Vs 2+2=4 (reality)  comment by implying I cannot see "1+1=2 (reality) Vs conservative programming: 1+1=3" (which is how binary works)?

I thought conservatives were supposed to be in favor of states rights? I guess that is only in cases that agree with your POV huh?

I also agree with the protests and civil disobedience during the 1960's.

I do believe in the rule of law so long as the law is just and protects the public good. Having the government intrude in a persons private life is not justified in my opinion. To say people can smoke tobacco and drink alcohol but cannot smoke weed is hypocritical at the very least.

Feel free to boil it down to your simplistic binary rant if it makes you happy.

I would think that having the DOJ not pursue a fail policy of drug enforcement would make you happy. Why waste even more money on something that obviously does not work. I guess in your binary world anything Obama does is wrong regardless of the reality of it.

 
You agree with the rule of law but at the same time support civil disobedience?
 
WTF's wrong with this picture?
 
Some 40 people died during the civil rights movement aged 11-66 while you were supporting the rule of law.

If a law was passed banning guns would you be blasting Obama if he had a non-enforcement policy?

What if a law banned certain types of sexual acts between you and your wife and the government chose not to pursue enforcement?

That law would have been signed into law by him.
 
A no enforcement policy would be a violation of his oath of office.
 
God forbid he ever selectively enforce the law.
 
You can't have the law both ways.

 

[La Li Lu Le Lo]

My state DOES have laws that ban certain types of sexual acts between man and wife.
 
Chances are your state does to.
 
No. The laws are NOT enforced.

Because the article was a prime example of the media pushing a liberal agenda.

[SIZE=10.5pt]Listen stupid, federal laws trump state laws. The sale of marijuana is still illegal at the federal level. Obama is taking it upon himself to refuse enforcement because of a political agenda. He is pandering to the "do what makes you feel good" libtard crowd.[/SIZE]

Just to clarify. Colorado passes an amendment by a 10% margin and you are against that. A young girl and her parents come up with a creative entrepreneurial idea and sell over 100 boxes of cookies and you are against that also. The failed 40 year war on drugs has cost the US over $1 trillion but you support that because some how you think government would have the right to tell me what I can put in my body.

So you are against states rights, against capitalism but for a strong central government yet you call your self a conservative?

Yep. Fed law trumps state law. Perhaps Obama see the writing on the wall that enforcing a policy that has cost the US tax payer a fortune and has failed on virtually every level is not a good way to spend US tax money. Perhaps it is time for the Fed to listen to the people on this one. Unless of course you want the US to wast another trillion.


I assume you are equally upset about the KS and AL gun laws? After all, they are ignoring Federal law right?

"Girl Scout sells 117 cookie boxes in two hours outside pot dispensary"

"Want to sell a lot of Girl Scout Cookies? Set up shop outside a pot dispensary.

Just about everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies. And one 13-year-old girl came up with an ingenious strategy to significantly boost her sales: setting up shop outside a San Francisco medical marijuana dispensary.

In a major surprise to no one, it was a huge hit, with Danielle Lei selling 117 boxes in just two hours.

Danielle’s mother Carol said she supervised the sale on Monday and that it was the second time she’s allowed her two daughters to sell their Girl Scout Cookies outside of a Green Cross establishment.

"You put it in terms that they may understand," Carol said in an interview with Mashable, who first reported the story. "I'm not condoning it, I'm not saying go out in the streets and take marijuana [...] It also adds a little bit of cool factor. I can be a cool parent for a little bit."

And for a little context on just how intertwined these two things are, one of the more popular and potent strains of medical marijuana is in fact called Girl Scout Cookies.

In fact, the website Leafly says that the Girl Scout Cookies strain was invented by San Francisco-based rapper Berner. So, in a manner of speaking, it’s all coming full circle."

Quag's.....that's what capitalism and logistics are all about.
 
If your State had laws against certain sexual acts performed in your privacy......would it be more satisfying when you did them illegally?

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

All I did was post the article. I added none of my own comments yet you and la it da want to somehow make me part of the story?

I thought it was ingenious. I am willing to bet the closest McDonalds to the dispensary has doubled business as well.

As for those laws governing sexual acts, la to di do took that exactly how I thought. He would want the government to force those laws. Yep, he is for small government...except he wants larger enforcement of laws that states clearly do not want.

Most conservatives, and many liberals, and most in between are for states rights on many issues.
