Concern trolling. How quaint. Obviously, pot should be legalized, right? But only by methods that won't actually accomplish the task, of course, like changing federal law first. Which won't happen, so prohibition remains in force. Catch 22.
States can't enforce federal MJ law, which is why they have their own. OTOH, prohibition depends on a seamless front, full cooperation by state & federal authorities, something that no longer exists, particularly in Colorado. The part of it that really seals the deal is that legalization is part of the State Constitution & that personal growing is part of it. That can't be changed other than by a vote of the people. The feds could close down every retail operation in Colorado & all they'd accomplish would be the creation of enormous resentment while driving it back underground, depriving the state of tax revenue. Personal growers would become a lot less personal while state authorities become a lot less concerned about it, given the fucking they received from the feds & the fact that the citizenry has stripped them of enforcement powers.
Prohibitionists are having a little trouble catching on to the fact that Colorado's A64 is the marijuana war equivalent of the battle of Stalingrad. That reflects a paradigm shift in public perception that's been building for almost 50 years. Fighting will continue, but the outcome really is not in doubt. Legalization is sound policy, unlike what we've had for 75 years, and we intend to prove that here in Colorado. So far, so good, and it'll likely only improve from here. All we ever needed was the opportunity to prove it, which we now have, courtesy of Obama & Holder.
Libertopian twits might want to take that into account the next time they start raving about King Obama, Dear Leader or any of their usual hyperbole.
Probably not.
