Marijuana legalized in Colorado

Amendment 64: The Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act of 2012 | Yes on Amendment 64: The Colorado Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol

An act has been passed legalizing the use of marijuana for recreational purposes if you're over 21 in Colorado.

Good for them! It should be legalized (at least) as a medicine everywhere. I do agree that for some it is a gateaway-drug, I have some great examples in my circle of acquaintances, but still. All my support for legalizing it.

Awesomeness.

Legalizing MJ, gay marriage being legalized in more and more states. This countries at least sort of on the right track.

I'm personally against legalization of marijuana, but that's not what this topic is about...

apparently, it was legalized in Washington too.

It was in WA also. If they were smart, they'd legalize in every state. There is no downside to it and the amount of money in taxes we'd collect would be ridonk.

it's legal in Washington because Obama needs his Mary Jane.

Blows my mind that there are people serving 5+ year prison sentences for just a few ounces marijuana possession. Some child molesters get off easier than that.

This is definitely a step in the right direction.

People are waking up. So many things are irrationally labeled taboo, and the laws that prohibit them make absolutely no sense. Let the gays be happy. And let the stoners get blazed and eat too many tacos. I guarantee both will cause less problems, and are significantly less annoying, than those that try to keep these laws in place.

I think legalization and regulation is always a good way to go.

I'm glad even though I most likely won't be seeing any of it myself soon.

Wrong Washington there but it's legal in DC too but the laws are a bit difference though. Don't know the specifics though.

Oh okay then my comment is invalid.

Never really cared if they legalize, people can do what they please IMO, but I personally will probably never use it. I've seen too many of my friends turn into complete idiots and have it ruin their lives.
