It’s high time we took a breath from marijuana commercialization
In 2012 we were told Colorado would lead the nation on a grand
experiment in commercialized marijuana. Six years later — with two major
industry reports just released and the state legislature and Denver

time to pause and assess some results of that experiment.
Where has our breathless sprint into full-scale marijuana commercialization led Colorado?
Well, recent reports from the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area, from Denver Health, from Energy Associates, from the
Colorado Department of Revenue and from the City of Denver should be

Progressives have fooled everyone by claiming that "medical" marijuana (a subterranean synonym for "recreational" pot) must be legalized as a painkiller for victims of disease, old age, and ultimately minor pain and stress. In this report, you will see that the sea of red ink caused by state-sponsored drug addiction is horrendous and unsustainable. ..."

"Sgt. Nathan Borman has noticed a disturbing trend among motorists in Outagamie County — and he only sees it getting worse.
“We are experiencing a rise in drugged driving arrests,” said Borman, who works at the county’s sheriff’s department.
