It’s also less cost effective. It costs the court system every time they have to prosecute a case regardless of how petty the crime is. It would save the taxpayers and the county money if they would just drop the cases but some DA’s have such a big ego they can’t let them go.

That’s pretty much the long and short of it, Tom. I used to work for one of those “big ego” DAs in Texas, and every decision we peons made was centered not around what was ethical and right, but what would make “The Elected” look good. It was so, so wrong.

In the end, the egos in our local governments will just have to suck it up. My county went something like 63% in favor of Amendment 64. (I’m sure San Miguel County’s was similar.) As much as it pains the local powers that be, they’ll eventually have to submit to the will of the people. :cheers

The trend has always supported this fact and I am so proud of CO!!! Why does it take the Gov so long to catch up with the actual times. Is oral sex still illegal in some States. Hua, do they have camera’s :huh :lol

The revenues this creates is huge and will be a light at the end of the Fiscal tunnel. Could actually flip everything around if managed correctly.

Apathy, do you think apathy will set in to cheetos , Goldfish and the channel changer? Nope not me. Peaceful free thinkers. I knew the 70’s trends would roll around again. :medal So proud to live in CO and so glad I voted. Pretty exciting these days, lots of issues to weigh :flower

One more small thought on this issue. What effcts do you think this new law will have on Business. Are you kidding. My brother moved to Amsterdame long ago to open his Business.

Open minded folk.

Our reputation will stand tall and folks are going to flock here. This is the negative. Hold steady!

We’ll have to see what the new legislation introduced effects the passage in Colorado and Washington.
Most politicians are also waiting on word back from the DOJ on how they will deal with it.
It does look promising though. :thumbsup

This might motivate me to apply for a vendor’s booth. Fritos, Oreos, Bugles, etc.

Any menu suggestions would be appreciated!

Ya know I was wondering about the Legality of a food booth all hemp related. Would that be like a Beer Booth. Someday. Think about it :rolleyes

[system]

The gov signed it: http://www.coloradoan.com/article/20121210/NEWS01/312100022

Sale and public consumption are still illegal. Soooo, if you just have toooo much money, maybe you could get a booth and just give it all away?? I think since you have to buy tickets the festival could be considered private (not public) if PB saw things the same way.

Just kidding… :cheers

Pot Tourism In Colorado OK’d By Marijuana Task Force

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/999211/thumbs/r-POT-TOURISM-COLORADO-OK-large570.jpg?6

DENVER – Marijuana tourism is on the way to Colorado, under a recommendation made February 19, 2013 by a state task force to regulate the drug made legal by voters last year.

But Colorado should erect signs in airports and borders telling visitors they can’t take pot home, the task force recommended.

Colorado’s marijuana task force was assembled to suggest regulations for pot after voters chose to flout federal drug law and allow its use without a doctor’s recommendation. Made up of lawmakers, law enforcement authorities and marijuana activists, the task force agreed on Februrary 19, 2013 that the constitutional amendment on marijuana simply says that adults over 21 can use the drug, not just Colorado residents. If lawmakers agree with the recommendation, tourists would be free to buy and smoke marijuana.

“Imposing a residency requirement would almost certainly create a black market for recreational marijuana in the state,” said Rep. Dan Pabon, a Denver Democrat who sits on the task force.

Tourists could see purchasing caps though, possibly as low as an eighth of an ounce per transaction.

Afraid that marijuana tourism could open the door for traffickers to load up and take it across state borders for illegal sale, task force members agreed that non-residents should be able to buy only limited amounts, though a specific amount wasn’t set.

“Marijuana purchased in Colorado must stay in Colorado,” Pabon warned.

(Make sure to hook-up with me on your way home, and I’ll legally take your leftovers.)

Enjoy yourself and carry all that revenue to Schools, Roads, Open Space etc!!! :flower :medal

One of the many things I love about this place!

I was thinking about starting a discussion related to Amendment 64, but thought I would check to see if someone already had and of course somebody had.

I’m no thinking it will make much of a difference to TBF, at least not this year, as many have already noted, much work to be done before there will be a cannabis cart on the sidelines.

Grounds are private and I have often been told by the local gendarmes that as long as personal consumption is all you are about, you are OK with us.

Streets of Town, would undoubtedly be considered Public and I would not recommend sparking one up thinking otherwise.

Is it correct that legal sales will likely not be happening until next year and definitely not by festival time?

Is it true that Planet Bluegrass just signed a sponsorship deal with Doritos and Oreos?

Actually, I think per Governor Hickenlooper, it was Cheetos and Goldfish!!! :lol

[Linds]

No recreational sales until next fall or winter, I think. But yeah, I think the Cheetos and Goldfish peddlers will do really well this year.

Not to mention the bacon peddlers.

[Mandhoe]

“Marijuana Tourism”, LOL! I love it! :pickin < This is me after I toke up on some of Colorado’s finest.
