Who's Bringing The Funyons? I Have The Munchies
 
Let's spark one, bros!

BroncoMan4ever 11-06-2012 09:40 PM

Great day. No Romney and I am going to go smoke up

Taco John 11-06-2012 09:45 PM

Washington State and Colorado setting themselves up for a showdown with the Federal Government. Should be interesting to see what happens. If the DEA allows these states to have their way, more will surely follow. I'm curious to see how Obama handles this situation.

Funyons. Gross, bro.

Pancake batter, oreos, deep fryer.

Fried oreos.

I advise you to fry before you get baked otherwise that **** becomes a daunting task.

I do not know anything about the vote in CO, but it sounds like pot has been voted legal... Gather the family, friends and your children and smoke yourself silly. :welcome:

jutang 11-06-2012 09:48 PM

Obama will let this go... Found a way to cut the deficit.

Broncos_OTM 11-06-2012 09:54 PM

As far as most work places, youll find most employers follow federal law.

Feds are going to have to decriminalize it, let the states decide. There's no way for them to enforce it. I don't normally see any DEA or US Marshals around. :)

So its legal to smoke pot but its been decided with other case law its against the law for a state to regulate the sale of something that is illegal federally. This is something really states have trouble winning. Like many of Calif propositions I predict it gets swamped into the courts and overruled. You simple cant sell pot legally under federal law.

The enforce it by punishing the states for regulating the sale of it. States will then feel they have to not do it because they want to regulate the sale by age, amount, price , tax etc etc. That is the big issue and Colo simply doesnt have the power IMO.

Unless Obama wants to legalize it but not sure he can just do that without congress. Could ne decree it? I guess he could but IMO he would never.

cutthemdown 11-06-2012 10:15 PM

a state can say we dont care if you grow it, smoke, whatever, we have nothing to do with it. but once they step in and say anything about how its grown, sold, regulated then feds will pounce on them.

Won't the state have to fight back? Being as it was passed? With Washington and Colorado both its going to get messy.

Quoydogs 11-06-2012 10:32 PM

I'll take a dog, 2 Coors lights and a half northernlights/greenbudskunk cross please .



My order at the next game i catch.

Quoydogs 11-06-2012 10:34 PM

If the feds want they can bypass this law in about ten minutes. I read an article some thing about the 6 th constitutional right federal law overrides state law. They used it on California prop.19 a few years ago. It will be interesting with two states passing it though.

KevinJames 11-07-2012 12:48 AM

I-502 is hilarious I can't wait till the first person on my facebook friends list gets a DUI for weed without even being high at the time of the police stop :spit:

Also that government weed is about to be $$$$$$$.

oh and the people dealing beware of FBI raids.

I don't smoke I did it in high school I think its dumb now and I realized what I wasted while I did do it.

I really don't think the Federal Government has a leg to stand on constitutionally speaking. Not that that has stopped them in the past...

Yes, and when the case goes to trial in the state where such laws were passed? Juries that give the Feds convictions may be hard to come by.

I think you mean DEA raids. And honestly they just don't have the manpower to pursue this (they're kind of tied up with drug cartels and the like). So unless D.C. explicitly orders them to, don't expect the DEA to show up in Washington or Colorado in force.

Bronco X 11-07-2012 06:05 AM

People complain about government over spending, often with good reason, but rarely does the most wasteful spending get targeted. Anyone who has had an issue with spending of late would be a hypocrite of the highest order if they didn't object to the DEA wasting tax money and resources to kibosh a state voted measure like this.

MrPeepers 11-07-2012 07:07 AM

i know you cant smoke in public areas very often, in my head I visualize a scene from idiocracy waving beers and joints at the bronco game on TV.

in high school i stood on second base of mile high at the pink floyd concert. I was about 18, and my boss said look for people smoking joints... most hopeless undertaking ever. I hope it casually slips into society without government backlash. I don't know anyone seriously harmed any worse than alcohol by a little puff.

I saw a piece on 60 Minutes awhile back where they interviewed a DEA official who pretty much said they have bigger fish to fry then marijuana sellers. Sure, it's illegal Federally, but if the DEA doesn't care then there really is no Federal marijuana law in practical terms.

Exactly.

They will still target large scale grow operations though and shops near school zones which they recently cracked down on in CO on the Medical shops (all of them simply moved).

Drunken.Broncoholic 11-07-2012 08:11 AM

Gangs will not like this. In Cali they tried to stop medicinal and up the west coast it's gonna pot on pot crime. All this means is less money in the gangs pockets. And what does that mean? More crime. Now when they rob people they are going for 2 things. Money and weed. Better buy some guns and ammo to protect your plants. Cause they will come for them. I know a guy who owned a medicinal pot dispensary out here and he was robbed multiple times. They now have more than just Mexico to load their inventory.
