High Demand: Price of legal marijuana soars in Colorado

the volume of threads posted alleging that legal pot in Colorado is a disaster is the best evidence that it isn't.
 
I know a few things about a few things for a few reasons. Divide by zero.


I'm a cognac/absinthe/jager guy myself. I do love me brandy (well, all cognac is brandy, but not all brandy is cognac). What do you drink?

Hennessy.
Probably wasted in eggnog, but I like what I like.
Absinthe, eh?
I saw a guy on the Travel channel--The Thirsty Traveler--trying to get absinthe in Europe.
It was illegal at the time, but legal nowadays, I think.
Good luck with med. school......maybe you could give me a cannabis Rx? ;)

That's just the way of the world.
Naysayers can't wait to...well...say "nay".

Nothing wrong with Hennessy. +1 Nothing is wasted in eggnog. Eggnog is a divine drink worthy of Zeus, Odin, the Dark Lord Kramdar, and Elvis Aaron Presley.
Absinthe is delicious.
I'm shooting for a different direction, but if I go primary or something along the lines, I'll be a serious advocate for it, specifically in the department of oncology and general pain management. I'd rather see a country of high people with healthy appetites and enjoying life, pain-free, than people getting withdrawal symptoms because they are 30 minutes late on synthetic opiate dosage. Big Pharm pushes synthetics. Cost effectivity and ease of production, nothing more. If cannabis would produce as fast, efficient, and profitable...trust me...oxycontin would be a non-issue.

This I like.
Thinking outside the box.
See you around, Doc.
 
Who said Liberals and Libertarians couldn't get along?

Who says any of us can't get along?
True believers of every stripe....my way or the highway types...inside their own box types...:shrug:
Most logical people want to get along with their fellow citizens.
Good night, Doc......hey...shouldn't you be studying or cramming for something? :)

True Liberals and Libertarians aren't so different. Business, taxes, and guns. That's about the only places we fist-fight over.
Yeah the in-the-box thinking is what has managed to get us into this mess, left and right.
Unfortunately, logic is on short supply haha
Studying? Man I'm on break and enjoying what I have left. Back to business Jan 7th. Until then, Jager and Cognac.

I wonder.
I've owned businesses and guns and pay taxes.
Maybe a game of H_O_R_S_E instead of bare-knuckles, huh?

Slacker.
Goodnight...really...Doc.
 
Good Lord! That's expensive....It's true, people will waste their money if given half a chance....I wonder how many of these people have paid their premium for their O-care? heh, heh....[/FONT][/COLOR]

It will 100% go down. The market needs time to stabilize. People are now watching how expensive it is, and a bunch of new grow operations are going to sprout up and the market is going to be flooded. MJ is even easier to grow than tobacco and look how cheap that stuff is.
 
A lot of times it looks like liberals are for less government than establishment Republicans.


Who said Liberals and Libertarians couldn't get along?
 
it is amazing how many over the years could not afford healthcare but could afford pot, iphones, new cars, liquor, and cigarettes. Liberals are advocates for irresponsible people and it is tearing the country down.

To a liberal, two men having anal butt sex is good.... children praying in school is bad.

To a liberal, smoking weed in your mom's basement is good.... making a lot of money is bad.

Did I miss anything?
 
Just for your information the first person allowed to buy some was an Iraq vet and the rest of the day was doctors and lawyers type according to the news reports. Perhaps you might consider developing opinions off of facts rather than throwing around really stupid generalizations you simply made up.

You mean you don't see people exactly what he just said?

I don't know, that's a pretty good collection of straw men as it stands. But if you really want I'm sure I could think of a few more.

Isn't the discriminatory against poor pot smokers?

How does this stop the crime people commit in order to buy the drugs?
 
Something like a 4 or 6 plant grow ur own limit I think.

Which is plenty, especially easy now anyone can buy the clones and start with a great strain.
 
Yeah, but my goodness...I remember buying an ounce for around $100. maybe I am dating myself....:(

Nah, it's supply, demand and government interference. If there were 1000 supplier instead 300 or so.. prices would have what you can it at illegal on the street.

Back before weighing the stuff, a lid was ALWAYS $10. Four or five fingers held up in front of the baggie. Came back from Germany and some asshat tried to sell me a lid for $15, yelled at him calling him a pusher (the pusher is a monster...for those who get the reference), little did I know how high it would go.

Seems like someone has trouble understanding the Constitution, personal liberty, and supports big govt.

Sounds like you are very confused in your political identity...whatever it is.

Absinthe delicious? You have to be kidding me. When I drank absinthe, I poured it over a sugar cube into the glass, as is the custom. That's the only way to alleviate that horribly bitter taste. I like the way it turns cloudy when you add the water.... Better living through chemistry.

The effects of making MJ legal is not going to be known for several years. Whether good or bad. IMO It is foolish to cry success or failure at this point in the game.

Oh I love it. Reminds me of a cross between jäger and sambuca

How can it be a failure? Constitutionally, IMO it cannot be.

Unless it takes more law enforcement lives, and costs more in court and prison costs over the next 5 decades than in the previous 5, I'm not sure how it could be.
