Lee I dont care what people use in their own homes, the problem begins when it's shoved in others faces and becomes a problem fir everyone else. I have the same arguement with alcohol. Drunk drivers are a huge problem. Drugged drivers including marijuana are also a huge problem.

I never defended these two, they broke the law and they should pay. What I do defend is my right to use a safer alternative to the prescription pill garbage that is being forced on us by money hungry big pharma companies and the politicians who are funded by them.

My point being Lee, you rushed right out the defend these idiots. And I knew the Amendment 64 dope freaks would have something to say. What drug do you guys want to make legal next? How about cocaine? It's a harmless plant too. It bet we could makes tons of money on that too.

Where is the nearest Dispensary to Grand Junction? I bet that store owner is selling people from Grand Junction more than $25,000 in weed per day. In fact, if GJ continues it's asinine restrictions on the commercial sale of cannabis I will personally set up a store that is one mile closer than the nearest store to GJ and I will take advantage of the stupidity of Grand Junctiionites.

And your point being?...You're a special kind of stupid aren't you?

Drugs are drugs no matter how you try and spin it.

Upset, what is your problem with a plant that is safer than alcohol,tobacco, or even prescription drugs? Are you still stuck in the 30's?

Upset said on Saturday, Feb 9 at 5:11 PM

All of you Amendment 64 dope people should be trying to help these two, or all of you to high to care.

The guy on the left bears a striking resemblance to Keanu Reeves. Perhaps he was researching a role in his next big movie.
