Colorado, Washington Pot Legalization Deals Drug War Major Blow
Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana in the prohibition era on Tuesday, dealing a major blow to the war on drugs.
ok, now we are winning, a small step for dem THC’s, a giant leap for the common sense…
I heard about this yesterday, strange that it wasn’t mentioned in any debates, but then again they are not really debates anymore, more like battles of the witless.
Depends what happens, Obama could either take a zero tolerance approach, or let it slide.
If his first term is anything to go by, he’ll go in there guns blazing and lock everyone up. The feds will likley take the states to court to block the law coming in in the first place.
Or, since obama has now secured his second term, he could be lenient and just let it happen.
If it happens, it will change the game. If it doesn’t its a blow for democracy.

There isn’t much he could realistically do beyond getting the DEA/FBI to monitor everything that goes on in those states, which would undoubtedly be a waste of time.
In case you missed it…
