Moving to Colorado... Talk to me, people!

[Hydro-Soil]

Those among us with emotional control... are well aware of who's out of line here. lol You really need to go smoke something sedative in nature.

Do what you like people. As far as I'm concerned, you can smoke anywhere the landlord says it's ok and you feel comfortable doing so. LOTS of places outside and, sort of, in public that are perfectly suitable.

Society is mostly ignorant and damaged, they will react accordingly. Be prepared and act accordingly.

Stay Safe!

Extremely well put, Astartes.

It’s all about “set and setting”…
what utensil/device you use and where you are/who’s around you.

There’s a huge difference between:

…smoking a joint at (most) disc golf parks on a Tues. afternoon,
a Phish or Reggae on the Rocks show at Red Rocks,
or using a vape pen in an empty public bathroom…

…and…

…smoking a bowl while walking past an elementary school at recess,
a packed playground on a warm, sunny Saturday afternoon,
or whipping out a joint at Red Rocks, during a Raffi concert.

I just hope people will continue to use a little judgement and consideration, the way we all did before Amendment 64.

: i feel yas nattynattygrl!! well put. schools of any kind even college campuses are FEDERAL drug free zones.... aint noone TRYING to be stupid.
i think joints are much more acceptable in public, any form of glass pipe just makes people think drug.....


and:
can we keep it on topic or what in here?

I wonder what Mr. Brown considers 'Spring' and if he has arrived in Colorado yet?

 

[DreamsofTesla]

Just in case anyone's losing the plot --

Recall that a couple weeks ago NC's MMJ program got squashed in committee again. Had 58% approval statewide.

New survey this week, 76%. That's across party affiliation, religion, gender, race, and age.

Almost like taxation without representation.

 

[monsoon]

Definitely sad, Tesla.

Sorry for my passion regarding Colorado folks. I've been smoking for 42 years, 30 of those have been here in Colorado, and I've grown full time w/o a break since 1991 in both "legal" and "illegal" scenarios. I helped get the med law passed and have been med for over a decade. In the beginning of all of that we were still hiding and being busted, even if it was "legal" and the law allowed it. After that, I helped collect sigs for each of the Denver legalization initiatives and the failed legalization attempt in 2004. Censor me all you want, i know where I've been and how I've helped many of YOU waltz into the sweetest and most freedom-filled State in the Union regarding marijuana prohibition without doing anything but showing disrespect for what has been laid at your feet.

What some folks here who take this so very casually need to do is to investigate what happened in Montana when a percentage of the people involved in MMJ there failed to think the laws couldn't be challenged and the way to proceed forward and "progress" the "scene" was to flaunt the entire program in the public's face. As a backlash, the entire MM program and any hope of legalization was crushed in it's tracks by the legislature.

I don't want to see that happen here in CO because a few folks lack any respect for others or the very laws that allow them the luxury of "legalization' in the first place.

smoke em if ya got em.

"I wonder what Mr. Brown considers 'Spring' and if he has arrived in Colorado yet?”

Mud season is nearly in full swing out here on the western slope!

 

[monsoon]

Wow... that was the wettest snow I've seen in a long time today. (I'm on the Western Slope as well, but with a bit of elevation) We need about 3 ft of that slop...

 

[monsoon]

Hot off the press for anyone who wants to see where this all may go.

ch..ch...ch...ch..ch...changes....look out you rock~n~rollers

thank you! i saved it and am wading into it right now. a lot of interesting possibilities.

 

[Avinash.miles]

also dont forget this amndmt 64 task force just wrote up suggestions for rules, these rules are not the law yet and the legislature can alter these suggestoins before signing them into law...

is that what u understand also monsoon?
i DLed this earlier today.... glad u shared it monsoon

 

[wantaknow]

i would say ft collins is where i would head out to!

 

[Avinash.miles]

^^^ why is that?

 

[Adrift]

crazy stuff! thanks for that monsoon

 

[monsoon]

Yes, they are just recommendations at this point, avinish. Thing is though, that is what the legislators/law asked for, and you can bet they will vote most of this into law. They have 3 years to see how badly things will be fucked up, then they can alter everything to fuck it up all over again.

Wanted Hydro-Soil to take note of this from page 92 and get yoour take on it.

The Task Force recommends that the General Assembly enact legislation revising the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, Section 25-14-201-209, C.R.S. to incorporate marijuana smoke. The following changes are proposed:

Section 25-14-202: Change “tobacco smoke” to “tobacco and marijuana smoke”; change “tobacco products” to “tobacco products and combustible marijuana”.

Section 25-14-203: Insert definition “(11.5) “Marijuana” as defined in the Colorado Constitution, Article XVIII, Section 16(2)(f).

Section 25-14-203(16): Delete the words “medical” and “as defined by section 12-43.3-104(7), C.R.S.” from the definition of “Smoking”.

Section 25-14-204(1): Change “tobacco smoke” to “tobacco and marijuana smoke”.

The Task Force further recommends that there should be no exemption that would allow the smoking of marijuana in “cigar bars,” smoking clubs, or similar establishments where tobacco smoking is allowed.

There's some scary stuff in there. What do ya think, folks?

 

[greenmatter]

i think you are 100% correct!

at this point i would be shocked if the morons who make the rules did something that wasn't scary....... like legalizing the fucking democratic process.

but i'm still glad i'm in colorado instead of texas, florida,oklahoma or about 20 other states

 

[2 Legal Co]

I think you misread my post as you clearly misinferred the gist. But anyway, what's your point? Is MJ free in CO? People give it away? Nobody sells it? People don't buy it? Jesus Christ, dude, I don't get why you're so put off...then again, you're not exactly articulate or friendly, so I don't really care. I don't have to grow more than I personally need, but in most places, folks appreciate the opportunity to get some superbly grown organics, so I do grow a bit more than I need. And no, I don't give it away but I do give great deals to a few good friends.

"Sick life?" WTF EVAH!

There's a good possibility that both of you are reading between the lines,,, and seeing negative, instead of positives. lol

Sure there's a certain amount of 'I'm native,,, and you're not', going on here. Always has been, long as I can remember, and I came here in the mid 70s..... The slogan for years was, " If Texans were meant to ski,,, cowshit would be white". lol

Colo Springs: You are correct in that there are a few of those there,,, and they shout from the rooftops, getting a lot of attention. After a while people get tired of the BS and superstition, and ignore them.

In selecting your location. You might want to consider the cost of sparks... it varies greatly, ($.06 to over $.16 per KW hr). Of course if you do a Greenhouse, not so much. Or if you are going to do Wind/Solar, it's a whaTever. Sort of.

We're still waiting for a response from Congress as to the Federally's stance on Amendment 64. Hopeful.

However, if you plan on growing. There are state statutes in place that limit the numbers, etc.... not all 'wild west'.

However, there used to be a Dispensary on every corner, it seemed. Some are no longer there. So you're idea of 'teaching', or 'designing/selling grow rooms', might be a good 'niche'. For that reason alone, I'd bring equipment before I'd bring a couch, etc..... Used furniture is really cheap here too.

Where do we need to apply pressure on this?

This is complete b.s. The statute specifically states that the landlord has the say on what goes down on their property.

Cannabis is NOT carcinogenic like the polluted tobacco they sell here in the united states.

Anyone already dug up the contact info on these people? Can you post it if you have?



Stay Safe!

 

[Avinash.miles]

task force is not the peeps to holler at soooo

I hate to say it but it's probably ur legislative rep. u wana put pressure on, just my guess.

 

[greenmatter]

just some math from a grumpy old voter but .......

64 was a statewide vote that won a majority

the other statewide votes are limited to our 2 senate members and multiple congress clowns all of whom work in washington and the governor. or am i wrong?

the guys with who are actually writing the rules and or voting on regulation are all state level, which mean they are voted by their districts right? so even if they got 100% of the votes in there districts they got LESS votes than 64 did

maybe i smoke to much, but that seems kind of bassackwards to me. why do clowns who did not get as many votes as 64 get to say a fucking thing about it?

"the will of the people", "majority rules" and silly catch phrases like "democracy" don't seem to mean much when politics is thrown into the mix

anyone else scratch their head a little when they run the numbers?

should i just not think about it? and smoke a lot more

 

[Avinash.miles]

representative democracy versus direct democracy.....
we have a bastardized version, creates this mishmash of bullshit, will of the people constantly being perverted by the representatives elected in their districs.
