It conveniently left out that it's still a federal crime to grow or possess.

The word "legal" is misleading.

So when a Kid turns 21 instead of going to a bar for his first legal beer he goes to a pot shop? Yeah Colorado.

A Cop driving his beat in LoDo doesn't give a fuck about "federal law" and is How/Why the law passed to start with.

Yes, an 18yr old w/Weed is akin to having a fifth of Jack Daniels now....

Did you buy a new bong to celebrate?

 

[TheVictors]

I haven't owned a bong since the 90's

I didn't say a local cop would care...I'm just pointing out that a law saying it's "legal" is misleading.

Plenty of people will think it's 100% legal not knowing they could still face federal charges for that ounce of chronic, fancy pipe, or those 6 plants.

Sooner or later you're going to have bored DEA agents or Marshals, or FBI, or whatever who have not had a bust in a while that will decide to go nail some dispensaries, head shops, or growers. And then saying "but we made it legal!" will be as useful as tits on a bull.

In Our Idiot Brother, there's a scene where a uniformed cop comes up to the Paul Ruud character, who is kind of like a hippy throwback, and asks if he can buy some weed; he's feeling "kind of down, and needs something to take the edge off..." So Ruud ends up handing him a bag of grass, and the cop says "do me favor; let me pay you for this; I wouldn't feel right if I didn't (I'm basically paraphrasing all this) and the Ruud hippy dude says, "okay...$20 bucks, then..." the cop hands him $20, and then he busts him.

a guy I used to work with had a younger brother who worked at a pizza joint while he was a college student in Chicago. during a break he was sitting in his car clambaking when a cop came up and started pounding on his window. he practically pissed himself but all the cop did was yell at him and tell him to smoke in his own house.

no arrest. didn't even check ID. totally harshed his buzz though.

My mom used to be a nurse who worked nights at a local hospital, every so often the sheriffs department would bring in all the old pot they confiscated after the trials were over to burn in the hospitals incinerator. She mentioned it was pretty funny that they needed 6-8 deputies to burn a few pounds of pot...while leaving the door to the incinerator open and letting the room fill with smoke.

All in the name of duty.

Oh, yeah...and the subtextual humor in the "Our Idiot Brother" scene was that...a cop needs to go out and score pot from some hippy type?

Seriously?

Cops have access to the best free stashes of pot that there is!!
