high quality drugs may end up out of reach of average consumer. |

I can see you've already taken it back. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 3

not sure if srs or trl |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 39

have you tried reading it? |

jmmmmmm, yes but no, it didn't |

Legalization would take drug MONEY out of disenfranchised communities |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 2
|
tax money collected from drug sales will be spent in disenfranchised |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 4
|
I like that idea, but I can't see the govt doing that |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 6
|
it's already happening. |
|

Colorado also has TABOR: the Taxpayers "Bill of Rights" |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 17
|
It's a reasonable assertion. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 16
|
Yeah, it is. By living in the hood they 'spent it in the hood' |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 28
|
that cash is 'in the hood' now. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 53

The problem is the hood can always do worse |

it's not about wealth, but basic employment |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 69
|
a bunch of jobs at drug stores? |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 70
|
yah |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 134
|
this is a very optimistic view of capital society |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 141
|
public jobs are #1-schools, post office, firefighters, cops, etc |
|
Nov 08th 2015 | 183
|
i'm thinking it'll also take the violence out of those same communities |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 21
|
Don't know the politics behind it, but wasn't Opium legal in China? |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 5
|
I don't see a similar chain of events happening in the U.S. over drugs. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 7
|
|
Yeah, but it does mean I wouldn't consider that a good reason. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 10
|
And for that, I don't blame China for executing drug-dealers. |
|
Nov 07th 2015 | 175

what you gonna do with all the zombies in the street? |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 11
|
haha, we're talking about legalizing drugs, not the zombie invasion |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 12
|
Bathsalts and they're legal |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 13
|
shoot them in the face, obviously |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 66
|
i don't see how legalizing dope (heroin) would help |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 14
|
i see what you mean, but i think the argument for legalization is |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 15
|
like methadone?....they zombie's too...it's like the same minus |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 18
|
That's not true. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 19
|
i used to lived down the street from a meth clinic..i seen it 1st hand |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 22
|
They're probably cheating. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 26
|
gotcha...makes sense...thx |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 32
|
sure, if they're abusing it. same with saboxin (sp). |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 23
|
you mean suboxone? |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 29
|
yes. i put the little (sp) thing there Haha. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 33

It would help on a number of levels |

I was gonna say something that i shouldn't say in regards |

side note: |

Nov 04th 2015 | 40

honestly...i look at everybody here like characters on a reaity |

Nov 04th 2015 | 48

that makes sense. |

I saw this documentary some years back about a heroin clinic in Vancouve... |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 36
|
I'm being nit-picky. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 43
|
what? google harm-reduction model and get back with me |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 73
|
I'm well aware of the 'safety' aspect...I'm personally not |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 86
|
it would also open the conversation and better educate people |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 88
|
i think your 1st paragraph is relevant to the 80s maybe 90s |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 103
|
I think lack of education is what's driving the pill epidemic |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 106
|
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit ....they know EXACTLY what's in it round here |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 109
|
I doubt that. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 113
|
that doesn't mean they don't know what's in it |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 124
|
i dunno. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 108
|
true to a certain extent...but best believe they know ALOT more |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 111
|
and they're full of misinfo about both. LOL |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 112
|
i'd respectfully disagree, i dont see an honest convo happening |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 145

i agree. |

What definition of legalization are we using? |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 20
|
yes, like booze. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 24
|
lack of education on the real effects of not using moderation |

This would be the hood... |

Doesn't this article prove the opposite? |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 44

no. there's no prohibition here. it's a 5 minute drive away. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 52

most people are trying drugs UNDER 21 so there would still |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 42
|
No. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 46
|
probably true to a large degree but grey/black markets will exist |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 49
|
that's not legal. selling drugs to kids, college students is not legal ... |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 51
|
it would go from black market to tinted-grey market |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 64
|
That would create a false sense of security |

Not at all |

cartels will not fail. they'll sell heroin like they are in colorado |

uh, it says ALL DRUGS, doens't it? |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 152

It does and you really don't know what they would do |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 156

Because this has never been tried lmao |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 159
|
see post 42. we know the black market doesn't go away |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 160
|
Is there a thriving black market for alcohol for underaged kids? |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 162
|
no but there would be if it cost the same per ounce.... |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 164
|
define "thriving," sounds pretty niche to me, compared with ... |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 171
|
probably billions, one co alone put 1/2 billion fake wine out there |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 172
|
uh, do you not see the problem here? |
|
Nov 07th 2015 | 178
|
there is a thriving black market for cigarettes in new york. |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 173
|
you mean where they cost more than double the national average? |
|
Nov 07th 2015 | 181

ppl are still selling illegal mexican weed in colorado, so no. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 123

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 140

Nah. Its D-I-R-T cheap in Colorado |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 144
|
doesn't matter. black market is still thriving. |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 151
|
the black market they're talking about is unlicensed local growers |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 153
|
doesn't matter, your safer, regulated drugs argument is null/void |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 155

I really can't help you at this point. Good luck. |

your help isn't needed. see post 42. |

Legalizing is a no-brainer but HOW we do it is a big question |

The ads would be ridiculous. *Remembers cigarette commercials* |

yeah |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 60

some drugs can kill people. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 62

that assumes use would increase, which is ridiculous |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 65

It's worth asking and studying the effects of legalization on use rates |

here are some old numbers: |

Nov 04th 2015 | 68

well, where would you find data? here is what i can tell you |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 76

ask Portugal. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 78
|
i am curious to go there and see what it's really like |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 90
|
use might not increase but it would be easier access for users |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 101
|
users use anyway; but we can stop arresting (poor) ppl for using. |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 119

Decriminalize some of them - yes |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 71

Portugal legalized (decriminalized?) all drugs several years ago. |

Does the K2 epidemic happen if legal pot is available? |

Nov 04th 2015 | 94

you can get 6 blunts out of a $5 pack i heard.......so yes |
|
Nov 04th 2015 | 97

yes? |

Nov 05th 2015 | 146

there's no getting 6 blunts of cannabis for $5 though |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 150

I mean is K2 "decent?" |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 158

my source is a k2 smoker who was being interviewed on reasons |

Nov 05th 2015 | 163

doesn't matter, if you're on probation or are being drug tested |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 165
|
good point, actually forgot about that "benefit" |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 166
|
yup, which would no longer be the case if it were legal on a fed level |
|
Nov 05th 2015 | 170

no because some people are drug tested for their jobs like cops |
