My lovely little town of Breckenridge, sitting peacefully at the foot of the most beautiful snow covered mountains you'll ever see, is leading the way. Though some would say Breck is full of young people who are content to work in local shops and restaurants to make rent in order to to live here and dedicate their lives to what is most important.. snowboarding :) We have put our collective heads together and made a huge statement for the rest of the nation to take note of. This past Tuesday proposal 2F won with 73% of the vote to LEGALIZE the possession of marijuana!!
Making Breck the first city in Colorado to do so, this is huge folks. I'm so proud because Breck is the perfect example of the benefits of debunking this nations fucked up drug laws where weed is concerned. we have a zero crime rate and live in near perfect harmony. Stoners are not criminals and should never have been treated thus. Have you ever seen or met a stoner who wouldn't choose a bag of Doritos and a cheech and chong flick over going out and starting fights or vandalizing shit? If anything there should be stricter laws regarding ALCOHOL. It's seriously ridiculous dude. The Government wastes millions of dollars trying to bust people for growing marijuana, a plant with natural and medicinal benefits when they should be focusing on real threats to society

hahaha! That is funny!
I thought it was already legal in Denver??? (or Boulder maybe) According to People's Court it is. :-)
I honestly don't know EXACTLY how I feel about this. I DEFINITLY agree with the fact that it can be medically helpful...AND there are FAR greater battles to focus on out there.
I do tend to think that the numbness, or relaxation, or whatever it causes could also be detrimental though. If you think about it in an extreme...if Breck (or the whole nation) is chillin in a sweet cloud of smoke...who's stopping people from coming in and taking over...or worse...cause your defenses and boundaries are down. You know???
yea i feel ya Jenn, but the issue i want to address with this isnt promoting a stoner lifestyle, I dont even smoke myself, its the current federal laws against marijuana use because its not a crime. It may be irresponsible but so are so many other things that are legal. Alcohol, prescription drugs, smoking etc.I would use the same analogy towards a group of people who choice to be morbidly obese and sit around eating junk food and rendering themselves useless to society. You wouldnt make junk food illegal just because some people choose to abuse it? The thing about it I detest is that the government is taking that choice away from us and It should never have been their call. Besides I bet you anything that within a year or too of completely legalizing pot the percentage of people who use it for other reasons then pain management, namely young people, would go WAY down, you know how it goes for some the thrill of doing something 'rebelious' would be gone ;) haha
