The second Colorado started talking about decriminalization, people started complaining that every traffic infraction they saw was "some stoner." Same shitty drivers every day, but now it was all being blamed on weed. When PokemonGo came out, I kept hearing people complaining about how people were just zombies on their phones because they were all playing PokemonGo. Really? People have been glued to their cell phones for the past 20 years, and now if you see someone not paying attention it's because of Pokemon? Then that died down and people went back to just regular complaining. It's just human nature to pick the newest change in your environment and start blaming everything you can on it. Pot, pokemon, liberals, puppy mills, texting, whatever. I know it's annoying, but if I feel like something is getting blamed that may not be related, I'm going to say something about it. I feel like Colorado has been swirling the bowl since before I was old enough to understand and experience the changes myself, and regardless of legal weed, the population here is growing and we're getting all the increased regulation and dipshit nanny state laws that come with that. I just can't imagine any other place of similar population levels where people aren't spending most of their time complaining about things they don't like.
