Micro, my best friend lives out in Denver. She said that they're pretty much everywhere... grocery stores, ball games - everywhere. I'm guessing it shouldn't be too hard to find

Hold up I'm slightly confused about an issue. If colorado says its okay to have an ounce of weed isn't it still illegal federally? Than if I'm not mistaking the federal government or supreme court will have to decide whether to let them slide or not which I don't think they would. I hope I'm wrong.

Yes the fed could still charge you. But from what i understand is that they don't go after people YET.

Over 40% of the jail inmates in Colorado (possibly more) will be release.. all minor drug offenders. Massive amounts of money will return to the eceonomy because that money won't be spent on prisoners.. over 40 thousand per prisoner per year. Colorado will flourish, and once they see the financial gains, other states are going to follow suit.
This is very exciting, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.
That's not gonna happen, is it? I imagine that MJ will be legalized in the state, or rather decriminalized for less than an ounce, but does that grandfather in all of those drug offenders? I don't think there's anyway that Colorado is going to release tens of thousands of inmates just because this bill passes. That would be devastating to all those rich prison-industrial-complex good ole boys, and they got lots of power.

They prefer to occupy their time drawing guns on and prosecuting sick and dying patients. Rec users are safe so far from any feds busting down their doors.

In Response to Special K
Yes, the feds will still be able to bust us. But I think the FBI has better things to do then take away my ounce.

The supreme court wont decide this issue. If legalization is attained in the state of Colorado, state and city funded agencies will enforce the new laws, while federal agencies will continue to enforce the federal laws. Most everyone who gets busted with an ounce or less, is busted by local cops, not the DEA or FBI. Depending how hellbent the feds are at busting pot smokers in Colorado, it could get ugly. I hope we wont be seeing special agencies created to police federal marijuana laws in Colorado/ any other states to follow suit.
