Washington State...!!!! (is awesome)

[Chizzang]

Yes...
Pot has been "legalized" in the great state of Washington
Anticipating 1 billion in revenue generated - and I don't even smoke pot - Yee Haw..!!!

Same Sex marriage passed
So finally we'll all get to see the first high profile ugly gay divorce sometime next year..!!!
Very exciting

Charter Schools passed
The public school system gets some actual competition finally
The end is near for that bloated sea horse

[griz37]

Lots of good results gays, women & stoners tonight.

[Chizzang]

I got a text that said: Jill got 3,900 votes in Washington
(Holy crap that's a ton)

[Grizalltheway]

So how long before the Justice Department steps in and shuts down our burgeoning pot industry? Couple months?

Meh...
They have to take some serious steps to make that happen
I figure at least 24 months - to see if the state manages it properly
if it's a Sh!tshow then they will eventually shut it down

Obama will make quick work of the marijuana referendum.

Yes, unfortunantly he is not a fan of states rights.

Charter schools are good in theory but many times poor in practice. Many charter schools have been epic failures here in PA, with some even being investigated for improper use of taxpayer funds. Hopefully WA can make them work as intended.

Perpetuation of the War on Drugs is another reason I didn't support Obama.

But the Washington and Colorado laws are a little different in that they involve recreational use rather than hide behind the ruse of "medical" clinics. Washington's is tied into heavy taxation at both the manufacturing and retail level with estimates of billions be raised in revenue for the state.

I'm sure they crafted the initiative with an eye towards pending court cases. So it will be interesting to watch.

Washington State is ready for the legal fight
That was ALL over the streets - the state has a right to make money and manage the process
the drug has proven to be less dangerous than alcohol

The Feds will have a hard time fighting this

[89Hen]

the drug has proven to be less dangerous than alcohol

How do you perform social studies on something that isn't in society?

Two things:
By now that is common knowledge
and widely accepted even among those who do not want to legalize the stuff

2nd
It's all over the west coast
For the last 15 years in Washington and Oregon you'd literally have to wave a garbage bag full of the stuff on school grounds to get arrested - nobody even bothers to hide the daily use - and the police have no interest in arresting the users unless they seem too young...

Now it's time to make money on the stuff and regulate it properly
and get the dealers out of the game

This. If other states aren't ready/don't want to legalize it..fine. But this initiative should have been called Common Sense 101.

And any true conservative should support it.

Great, now there is going to be sex for other reasons than procreation, probably in public too no less..

Don't forget queers getting married and handing out joints at the reception.

Hey, that's fun. I can just add that to anything and try to get a guilt vote. Nice!

Might as well catch the next train back to Decatur, Ill circa 1954, Hen. The world has clearly moved on and left you behind.

And yet the laws on this, dope and gay marriage all favor a progressive outlook, or are trending in that direction. And, as my generation reaches middle age, it'll only continue that way.

You are actually using a Gallup poll?



Let me ask the guy next door - just as accurate!!
