Violent crime is up, there are shootings and robberies happening far more often than I have ever experienced here.

Interesting take.

As a drug of abuse it's safer than alcohol. However, it can take the wrong peeps towards harder drugs. Alcohol use is much more socially acceptable...

I’ll just chime in an give my 2 cents: meh. Weeds easier to get than booze already, there have been stores selling it to anyone with a credit card for a couple years and it’s been decriminalized for years. I’m optimistic about the tax income but don’t think much else will change.

I'm sorry.

That's all they care about in Colorado, the tax money, they couldn't give a shit about how it's ruining the state.
