Congratulations to Barack Obama for securing yet another term in office as President of the Unites States of America. I was very pleased to get to vote and take my place as a participant in such a historic event…

WHAT?? COlORADO BECOMES THE FIRST STATE EVER TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA FOR RECREATIONAL USE??

According to the internet its true, Washington became the second state to end marijuana prohibition soon after. Apparently, state police will do nothing to weed smoking pedestrians, but federal officers can and will make arrests since it’s still a federal crime.

WHERE’S THE MONEY YOU SAY?

The most interesting angle to this event in my opinion is how the numbers will begin to change on all levels of the spectrum. Colorado will still need to pass more bills in order to be able to properly tax the marijuana, which is likely to take months. And the black market will certainly see a shift in marijuana prices and activity. Who knows, maybe all those illegal fields of green down in South America will make somebody very rich once our businesses start outsourcing.
