33. You're right - it won't pass Constituitional muster.

The major problem is knowing where to put the fine line between legally stoned and extremely stoned.

Colorado attempted to put 50 ng THC as a limit - too low for a MMJ patient - average about 200-300 ng THC (from what I know).

The legislation didn't even pass - not even the special session managed to pass it. So it'll be restudied in prep for the legalization part.

I suggest they drop the idea of DUID - hell, do the cops even pull over cigarette smokers for high levels of nicotine?

How do you spell "prohibition?" "T-a-x." Already big biz for cigarette smugglers. Eleanors38 Nov 2012 #12
Very similar to liquor laws in most places frazzled Nov 2012 #3

How is the law in Co. different than in Wa? dixiegrrrrl Nov 2012 #8
In CO, you can grow up to six plants in a locked room in your home RomneyLies Nov 2012 #15
So, legal State sales plus home grown. Best of both worlds. dixiegrrrrl Nov 2012 #17

Is your state government growing it? Mr.Bill Nov 2012 #27
Private, I believe. There's a grower in Kirkland a few miles from my brother aletier_v Nov 2012 #28

Decriminalize, not legalize. JohnnyRingo Nov 2012 #20
That was always the best option, IMO. randome Nov 2012 #22
I agree liberal_at_heart Nov 2012 #39
You are allowed to grow with both laws nt Taverner Nov 2012 #23
