“ 80% of the vehicles police pull over now for the smell of cannabis turn up illegal guns.”

Where did you read this? Thanks.

Yeah it did not work that way in Colorado. In fact it's actually hilarious that the tax dollars aren't materializing the way the State thought it would lately. It seems people prefer to grow it at home for free and the cannibas businesses are suffering as are the state's coffers. Totally predictable except by idiot voters/politicians.

Not only that, but the roads are more dangerous.
There are more ER admissions.
An increase in bipolar disorder diagnoses among those with cannabis use disorder diagnoses.
And adverse mental health outcomes for even casual teen users.

Marijuana is a gateway drug, I know from personal experience with friends over a lifetime. Welcome to the new world of addiction!

Sorry, guns kill, cannabis doesn't. That's where your comparison falls flat.

Once again, nobody said you had to like cannabis legalization. Just deal with it.

plenty of kids die from smoking weed, buying weed, selling weed,

guns don't kill either, the person pulling the trigger does.

How?

Not that poster, but 100% of drug related homicides in Montgomery County are marijuana-related.

What, specifically, is the relation of marijuana to these homicides?

Kind of, but the illegal market (and associated violence) will never go away.

So what? People die by lightning strikes

But nobody is suggesting policies to increase the number of lightning strikes.

I drove past a dispensary today and the lines were insane.

Our current government is off their rockers to legalize without being to enforce when someone is driving high, the smell which never goes away is bothering people, and now more kids being able to access it. I am all for dumbing down society but what they should have legalized was gummies. Not skunk. At this point, I will not feel so bad smoking cigarettes in public. Why should I care anymore what effect it has on others.

One of the points of legalization was indeed to prevent cops from wiping their asses with the bill of rights by lying about smelling cannabis. Not to prevent police from enforcing driving while high.

Your stupidity isn't really doing much to sell your argument here.

Kind of pointless in jurisdictions with BWCs. Any cursory review of those will show police are acting legitimately.

I truly never realized how many people I know who are potheads. I can certainly smell it all over them now! I'm laughing out loud about it, but definitely changed my perceptions about them and their choices. For one, I'm not hiring you if you smell like pot, or seem high, not going to happen. Second, I will find a way to fire you if you use pot during the business hours you work for my company, I will find something to throw you out of the office (and it won't be the pot). On a personal note, my SIL and BIL's house reeks of this smell, my DC are no longer aloud to be babysat by them. Their attitude is, everyone is doing it, your kids might as well get used to it now. No thank you.

Americans have a goddamn addiction to weed and so many clowns can't even go to work on a Monday morning without blazing at 730 AM. You smell weed everywhere while driving on local roads and major highways. It's disturbing the number of people who are out there every day driving while high.

Lol, your reefer madness is incredible. Thanks for the chuckle.

Your frothing at the mouth over cannabis is rather entertaining. Keep up the good work.
