Now the potheads in Colorado are pissed off about corporate MJ since it was legalized.  Did we not see that coming?

Who says dope doesn't make you stupid?

The problem with that is Colorado is trying to put a stranglehold on regulating it.  Model it after tobacco regulation and it will be a lot better.

Hell, just legalize it nationally and that would solve a lot of problems.

Latin American drug cartels wouldn't like that at all!

Oh well...the mobs/gangs/OC didn't like when prohibition was repealed.  We somehow got through that.

Government only seems adept at making things more complicated.  We would need a whole new bureaucracy with 5000+ agents to oversee that clusterfark.

When government legalizes anything it has the need to regulate it to death to keep the weak, dumb ones from hurting themselves.

Why?  Just put it under the same agency that regulates tobacco and/or alcohol.  Problem solved.

That’s too obvious and logical of a solution, Hoss.  Even if they did that, I’m sure they would see the “need" to add thousands to government payroll to oversee it.  Metastasis is all our current leaders seem to understand.

Besides the private prison company lobbyists will never allow it.  There’s simply too much tax payer money flowing into their coffers for keeping evil and dangerous dope smokers off our sidewalks.

Oh, I'm not saying they wouldn't try to do it, I'm just pointing out the most logical solution in the hopes that someone would buck the system and actually listen.

I'm not sure what happened there.  Must have had a brain fart.

Love this story about our police.

Most disappointed? Patric, of course.

You two are harsh.

patric has pointed out many examples of police brutality and or police abuse. It turns out that he is often right and that there are some bad apples in any barrel.

I am glad that a citizen like him cares and writes about them. The stories are not generally picked up or explained from traditional media. Can he be obsessive? Yes. But no more obsessive than guido or gaspar writing about democrats.

guido and patric are very alike. Embrace the differences rather than attack them.

It's a nice story.  It's a shame it has to be made into something negative due to feelings toward another poster.

Ain't my feelings towards a poster, it's my reality towards an anti-cop obsessive. I have read over and over that guy's incessant attacks on police, and the fact I am calling him out--in this context--is more than appropriate. You and RM need to get beyond your condescension.   

As for police misconduct in general, other than b!tching about it, what else does he or anyone in here do about it? I actually help victims of this abuse. But I keep in mind that these people are in large part doing the best they can, risking their lives, and doing good works.

I have to say I have had the best of treatment by the Tulsa blue.  I was given a mickey-drugged-drink one night in the Blue Dome District and walked out the bar very messed up.  The police responded and even though I had been drinking, after I told them I think someone had given me a mickey, they accepted this and even drove me to a friends house in Brady Heights.  Maybe the Jail was crowded, but if I ever could have been busted it was then; and they showed me mercy.  But I walk a tight line.  I do not want the police to have a need to mess with me.  I walk a line so straight you could open a pop bottle down there.

I ran from OK about 50-yrs. ago & in 2010 I saw downtown's potential.

Tulsa's in a Phoenix rise, reason enough to stick around.

Besides... you can't fully be an Okie except in Oklahoma.
