That's one of the things I was curious about... So technically this goes one higher at the State Constitutional level, it won't even be detailed in the CRS... Is alcohol in Colorado handled the same way? Or is alcohol legislated in CRS?

It's CRS 18 for criminal and CRS 42 for traffic related. CRS 12 I think is licensing regs not sure.

Alcohol isn't mentioned in the state constitution. It is handled in the statutes. While I am normally loathe to quote Wikipedia, they do a pretty good job of outlining the constitution.

So if I understand correctly, the voters decide upon amendments to the state constitution, but state legislation decides on changes to the Colorado Revised Statutes... Right?

Simplistically speaking, yes.

Spot on that. I concur. Let them legalize it somewhere else, then tax the hell out of it.

Please explain why you believe the concept of "tax the hell out of it!" is acceptable in any way, shape, form, or context.

Let me be clear here.. I hate taxes. Some are necessary in order to carry out the constitution. I'd rather have drugs taxed... somewhere else. California seems a good spot. They like taxes there. I don't like my alcohol or gasoline taxed and I especially don't like my deisel taxed. I hate taxes. Let the liberals pay all the taxes since they like taxes so much. Hollywood libs can pay all the taxes. If it were up to me, there would be no paper money and everybody would pay. Period. Call it consumption tax or something. VAT. As long as everybody pays the same percentage. I don't like freeloaders.

While this happened i was a 4 year 3 sport varsity athlete. 3.5 gpa I hold the school record for the ACT and SAT at my school. National honor society. president of the FFA chapter.

School of mines and CU both recruited me to their schools and no not for sports.

I would have been at the air force academy had all my ducks in a row but i am color blind and too tall to be a pilot.

Yup weed ruined my life I am lazy a leech on society et al.

Ronin sounds like you need to surround yourself with more productive people.

So you didn't go to the Academy because you couldn't be a pilot? There are lots of other jobs in the AF, even if you're colorblind. Service is not about you btw.
