Honestly, I see this news, and it really doesn't surprise me. I love dispensaries, however I also know that with anything becoming more plentiful, the easier it will be for kids to get their hands on it. I hate to break it to everyone, but kids are gonna experiment. What this article doesn't point out is how alcohol use has also gone down. Personally, I'd rather have them experiment with something that is safe, rather than things that kill - like hard drugs, alcohol, and pharmaceuticals. Not to say that I don't approve of dispensaries getting recently removed from school zones, I'm sure this definitely cuts things down. The fact is, dispensaries or not, they're going to find it somewhere, and right now the supply is immense, and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. My advice: take this with a grain of salt.

Re: Rape Prevention Fails when it’s Focused on the Wrong Rapist

Erica Lanier — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 14:25:23 -0000

In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month I am passing along a petition and asking for some much needed support in our fight to require annual fraternity involvement in rape prevention awareness seminars in Boulder County. The CU Athletics Department and Sororities agree on the importance of these seminars and participate annually and/semi-annually. Marc Stine, the head of the Interfraternity Council, has declined speaking to us about their lack of involvement in such programs.

More details are attached to the petition. Please, if you have a moment, sign and pass it along to others.

Thank you for your time

omg with what as proof? how can you prove its from marijuana and not from some disorder he has? this article is too short and has no concrete proof of anything. sounds like grasping at straws to me

The impact of Marijuana here in Colorado has been MILLIONS in tax and licensing revenue despite the 1B shortfall for 2012. The impact has been over 10,000 jobs created out of a new industry developing. It has been a working model that is heavily regulated, monitored, and licensed by State regulators. This is not the "wild west" industry that started a few years ago and this is NOT CALIFORNIA. Colorado's model should be praised as progressive and sensible public policy, not demonized over irrational fears of teenagers smoking pot. Teaching your kids has always been the best private policy to keep them off drugs; including nicotene, alcohol, vicodin, percoset, ketamine, cocaine, morphine, soma, and xanax which kill thousands of kids each year. Marijuana is literally safer and less deadly than all of these other legal substances which teens get ahold of simply because they are teenagers. Age old problem of adolescence which has nothing to do with legal and safe access to medical marijuana for patients as guaranteed by the Voters of Colorado.

Re: Marijuana dispensaries face shutdown by feds

Mark Slaugh — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:22:58 -0000

Seriously? No dispensary is selling to your kids. If teenagers are still panhandling outside of liquor stores, which they are, then do you blame the liquor store owner for their drinking?? No, you blame the idiot who bought them the booze.

Wake up people, safe access for patients behind locked door facilities under heavy regulation is not ruining the youth of America. But I guess its nice to have a scapegoat in small business owners who help patients access medical marijuana. The feds should be ashamed, not congratulated for closing small businesses during the worst US recession in the last 50 years.

Oh, and prohibition never worked before, so how do you propose it will work now with the miserably failed war on drugs?

Mark Slaugh — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:18:53 -0000

Lol. I thought the 60's made inter-generational drug users? Oh, and don't forget that the USA consumes the MOST pharmaceuticals in the world. We are already generations deep on drug use, I think marijuana is a safer option for those who need it as medicine.

Re: Marijuana dispensaries face shutdown by feds

Mark Slaugh — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:16:51 -0000

Really? Did you just choose to ignore the Investigational New Drug Program? - *google it. If you pay federal taxes, you purchase medical marijuana for 4 FEDERAL patients. Period. The cannabis is grown at the University of Mississippi by Uncle Sam who has been providing legal medical marijuana to patients for over 30 years.

How can the federal government be praised for closing small businesses that employ thousands of people in a thriving marketplace during a recession? Doesn't it make sense to provide safe access to patients who need this medicine and to collect tax revenue and licensing fees during our State's defecit?!

People forget too quickly that children CANNOT ACCESS a dispensary. No one can, in fact, without a State issued license. Unlike a liquor store where a 3 year old could buy gum. Or are you going to argue that booze and prescriptions are safer than cannabis?

Properties like Auto-immune suppression is effective for patients with conditions like Arthritis or Lupus. How is this dangerous again considering the impact of prescriptions on our society? Just look at Whitney Houston.

Yes a story of prescription drug abuse and the real and severe damages being done to society becuse of it would be nice to see. Prescription drugs kill and maim hundreds of thousands every year in this country. No one has ever died from taking to much grass, that sort of sums it up nicely.

Social or medical reasons for using marijuana does not do anything more than make you stupid! Not turn you into a drug crazed person that has homicidal thoughts, it is not addictive and will not kill you! Stupid is not a crime! It does on the other hand work on many aches and pains and is proven to help very ill people. Stop the reefer madness now before it gets out of control again! As for kids in school, I think that
pharmaceuticals are more the issue, since they are readily available in the bathroom cabinet. They are prescribed to kids for no real reason other than the parents can't control them! That's the real threat, the real addictive drug, the true killer!

Jesus said to do unto others as we would have them to do unto us. None
of us would want our child or grandchild thrown in jail with the sexual
predators over marijuana. None of us would want to see an older family
member’s home confiscated and sold by the police for growing a couple of
marijuana plants for their aches and pains.
If the people who want
to use marijuana could grow a few plants in their own back yards, it
would be about as valuable as home-grown tomatoes; it would put the drug
gangs out of business and get them out of our neighborhoods.

In addition to the many societal costs of prohibition, it has a long history of driving the spread of harder or more dangerous drugs.

* Poppies to morphine to heroine to krokodil

* Coca to cocaine to crack

* Ephedra to ephedrine to speed to methamphetamine

* Marijuana to skunk to dangerous synthetic concoctions such as 'spice' or 'bath salts'

* Mushrooms to ecstasy to 2CB/designers

At every step the reasons for the rise in popularity of the new form of the drug are one or more of the following:

* It may easier to smuggle.

* It may be more addictive, thus compelling the buyer to return more frequently.

* It may be cheaper to produce therefore yielding more profit.

* Like a game of "whack a mole" a shutdown of producers in one area will mean business opportunities for another set of producers with a similar product.

Prohibition's distortion of the immutable laws of 'supply and demand' subsidizes organized crime, foreign terrorists, corrupt cops & politicians and feeds the prejudices of self-appointed culture warriors. So called Tough-On-Drugs politicians have happily built careers on confusing drug prohibition's horrendous collateral damage with the substances that they claim to be fighting, while the big losers in this battle are everybody else, especially taxpayers.

How come so many of us have been deluded into believing that big government is the appropriate response to non-traditional consensual vices?

Imagine if we were to chop down every single tree on the planet as a response to our failure to prevent tree-climbing accidents. That's what our misguided drug policy looks like. Isn't it time we all stood up and told the government we're tired of being beaten and jailed so that pharmaceutical companies can poison and kill us for obscene profits?
