Weed

[Spracne]

Weed is the new tonic of the upper middle class, at least from what i have witnessed firsthand

[Tobias]

good way to truly separate from the booze-ridden middle class trash

Once it's legalized, they will be called connoisseurs while smoking with the girls at book club.

I knew a number of people in high school - smart people and good athletes - who got heavy into weed. Things did not work out well for them. You can argue 'til you're blue in the face that regular pot use doesn't harm people, make them lazier or dumber, but I've seen it first hand. Some of them we're friends of mine and it still makes me angry to see that wasted potential. But believe what you want. We don't need any more legal opiates for the masses. There are too many already.

A number of people that went to your high school is certainly a sufficient sample size.

CASE CLOSED!!!

Ok. I'll just stick with my personnel observations and common sense. I don't expect to convince any of you otherwise.

maybe some of that money could help ksuw with his financial struggles

We had lazy seasonal lifties that got high all the time before it was legal.  We have lazy seasonal lifties that get high all the time currently.  I didn't hire them then and I have no trouble finding competent people to hire now.  As a bonus, I get more money to local schools and maybe a tax refund.  Will take.

Was in Denver this past July.  We encountered it a bunch on the street around the 16th st mall.  It wasn't fully out in the open, but we often saw ppl holding it with a cupped hand hiding it and smoking as they walk.

I would see how people would take the edibles in public, but it seems like smoking bans would make smoking it in public just as stupid as walking around with a bottle of booze.

   I didn't notice anyone being outraged, and there are/were plenty of police all around that mall not enforcing the crap out of it.

Tourism.  Maybe they are worried about squashing something they just got?

I have yet to see people just flat out smoking it in public, which is still illegal.  I've definitely been walking down the street and caught a strong smell on occasion.  I've been to bars before/after legalization where people will just step outside to smoke and nobody cared.  As CNS said, I would imagine if a cop saw you smoking it in public he would at most make you put it out and be done with it.  It would probably take a complaint from someone for them to even do that.

I have a buddy who's having a huge bachelor party next month in Colorado and his sole premise of choosing to go there is so he can get super baked with his buds up on the slopes. I've partaken before, but i'm not good on it. I passed on this trip. I'm sure it will be fun for them tho.

I generally don't see any more people smoking weed in public than I did when it was illegal. Like, ChiCat said, it's still illegal to openly consume. There are a lot of things that haven't been fleshed out with respect to the idea of what constitutes "openly" since the regs basically just took it from the liquor laws. One thing that kinda hampers the whole thing is that tourists come into town, buy their bounty, and then have no place to really consume it due to the Colorado Clean Air Act's restrictions on businesses and general snobbery of hotels in denying their patrons the ability to smoke in designated areas. Basically it's not that big of a deal, but you generally can't just walk down a main street smoking a doob without getting some looks. Vaporizors have changed the game with respect to that though.

Please tell them to kindly stay the eff out of my way.

I would recommend vaporizers or edibles for your buds Wacky unless they are going to crash at a friends house.

Getting baked on the slopes just sounds like a really bad idea.
