    Actually, it is my understanding that people cannot smoke marijuana in
    public in Colorado. Buying and posessing it is now legal, but they must
    smoke it in private.

    ‘The largest single change for the better in U.S. foreign policy, and one
    that could be accomplished simply by an act of political will, would be the
    abandonment of the so-called War on Drugs. This last relic of the Nixon era
    has long been a laughingstock within the borders of the United States
    itself (where narcotics are freely available to anybody who wants them and
    where the only guarantee is that all the money goes straight into criminal
    hands). But the same diminishing returns are now having a deplorable effect
    on America’s international efforts.
    Consider the case of Afghanistan. Thirty years ago, it was a vine-growing
    country, renowned for its raisins. It is now so deforested that a farmer
    planting a vine would be an optimist, while a farmer growing poppies is
    assured of at least some income. We burn and destroy what is in effect the
    Afghans’ only crop, while suffering from a shortage of analgesics in the
    United States. The beneficiaries of this policy are the Taliban. Why not
    instead buy the Afghan crop, use it to manufacture painkillers, and burn or
    throw away the rest (if you insist) while simultaneously offering
    incentives and aid to vine growers? We already pay the Turks to grow
    medical opium; they don’t need the money. The revenue that now goes to drug
    lords and terrorists could be applied straight to Afghanistan’s
    reconstruction, while weakening those who benefit from an artificially
    created monopoly. This might be termed “win-win.” And this is to speak only
    of opiates. The usefulness of marijuana in combating glaucoma and in
    helping to ease the pain of chemotherapy is now well attested.
    Decriminalization of drugs could also mean fewer lethal impurities (the
    result of gangsters “cutting” the stuff) and a decline in the glamour
    associated with prohibition. The opportunities for the corruption of
    officialdom, both overseas and in the United States, would decline also, as
    would the deadly turf wars that inflate the crime rate. One does not have
    to be an apostle of Milton Friedman’s to realize that any attempt to
    prohibit a commodity with such huge demand and ease of supply is doomed. It
    has no place in the policy of a great nation.’

    LMAO at getting high on the slopes, every single friend I know that
    snowboards or skateboards does it stoned alot. Its a big part of the
    snowboarding/skateboarding culture.Obviously for non-tokers it would be a
    bad idea.

    Yeah that will surely bring in the respecable people to these places. Any
    respectable company would not want their business full of druggies.
    Families on vacation would just love to run across these idiots right? Any
    repectable business would want to stay clear of these people and make their
    private business drug-free.
