Alternatively they will be grappling with a growing population of perpetually stoned people being a nuisance and the long term health problems associated with heavy pot use. Between marijuana and opioids we will probably see an escalation of the homeless and begging population. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.... |

Are residents in legal states really using more? Pretty tough to tell since so many people are tourists/visitors. |

In 2005, Denver residents voted to become the first major U.S. city to legalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. Two years later, they voted to decriminalize cannabis entirely. For the city’s elections this spring, they’re being asked if they want to do the same thing for psilocybin, the active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Hmmm...and yet.... https://www.denverpost.com/2019/01/31/denver-marijuana-raid-black-market/ Honestly though, my quibble is that I thought they would actually.enforce the requirement in the referendum that people.smoke privately. Also sounds like pot smokers in DC are having trouble respecting basic busing covenants and civility. Until the city makes progress with that...why loosen restrictions more? #fooledmeonce Yes, I voted to decriminalize. Feel like a dumbass now. |

| It has been said before in this thread, but as someone who voted for the decriminalization of Marijuana in DC, I have been extremely disappointed in how the city has implemented the changes. DC now smells like pot, bottom line and nobody seems that interested in enforcing the rules as we agreed they be modified. Therefore, I will not be voting for any further loosening of the rules until those we have agreed upon are actually enforced. I have ZERO faith that DC will enforce the limited rules that would be required with a further loosening of Marijuana laws. |

I personally do not smoke outside and would prefer that others avoid this as well. I also believe it is unnecessary to use police resources enforcing a trivial "crime" such as smoking marijuana in public. Whine about it to yourself and move on with your day. |

What’s important is reducing crime due to high unemployment, as well as jail time for petty offenses, which both cost us dearly. If a legal marijuana economy can do this for DC, then the benefits will outweigh the very real but as yet under appreciated health risks associated with heavy use. |

My cousin is in law enforcement in CO. I wish I could show you his FB feed. It’s not just an upside if money to build schools. Many young families are unhappy at what they see in their neighborhoods. |

Of course your law enforcement cousin is against MJ legalization...it requires him or her to stop wasting time on easy, otherwise law abiding MJ users and instead focus on real, serious crimes.
Lol, do tell |
