Definitely plenty of stoners in this forum. For the record, this site does not condone MJ abuse and it never will. Guns + weed are not a good combination any more than alcohol + guns.

And no matter how much you like to toke up, nobody is obligated to breath your bullshit. If you want to do that to your body, do it at home.

Light up anywhere in proximity of my house and you find out just how much of an asshole foxtrot really is. They do come in the area occasionally... it's a hill with a view of the city. But I keep a nice 300 yard bubble around me clear. I don't give a monkeys anus as to any arguments of legal, illegal, amendment 64, etc. I have my techniques for getting people gone, but they are not public forum material, not universal, and don't work with a neighbor.

ETA: For the record, Amendment 64 is an affirmative defense to Colorado law. Under federal law, of which almost all firearm regulation sources, MJ abuse is a controlled substance. Enforcement aside, discussion about MJ + guns is technically illegal - again, this site will never condone any "pro-weed-guns" discussions on this site. If you want to smoke at home, not my problem. PC principle doesn't run the site though, so I'm not obligated to listen to any of the stoned SJW.

The OP described the person getting high and driving. Which is illegal in Colorado (and should be). A good friend of mine had his ranger career terminated by a driving stoner... driving over 100MPH on the interstate when they rear ended Dan on his motorcycle. Broke just about every damn bone in his body, the only thing that saved him was the fact that an ambulance was chasing the stoned idiots trying to get LEO to pull them over. (response time = 0 seconds, helps to save lives...) I've seen MJ related sucides and it's assisting in making our State a shithole, I am not obligated to let it be endorsed on a GUN FORUM. It is not harmless. If you want to do that shit to yourself, do it inside your own home. A gun forum is no place to advocate the abuse of MJ or any other substance.

Hopefully that makes my position clear.

Did you make either of these posts with a straight face?

Well, it appears some posting here do need to smoke some weed and chillax a little.

I dislike the idea where someone can't enjoy something legally at home w/o nosey neighbors thinking they need to call the cops.

Would you feel compelled to call the cops if a neighbor smoked cigarettes outside? Why not? Your kids shouldn't do that either & as far as the law is concerned their basically the same. You wouldn't call the cops for that so not sure why you feel the need to call for weed either.

Starting a war with a neighbor over something so petty is an even worse idea. What if he sees YOU do something he doesn't approve of that is legal & calls the cops on you? Imagine loading firearms into a vehicle or something like that & next thing you know you're being ordered to the ground at gunpoint over it because nosey neighbor disapproved of what you were doing & called the cops even if it was legal.

If someone is actively breaking the law for a fact & lives are in immediate danger as a result, call. Otherwise put on your big boy pants & talk to them yourself if it's so important to you. Better yet, realize that the reason you're struggling with what to do is because you know deep down it's petty & if you raise your kids properly it won't matter what your neighbors do. Sounds like a teaching moment & a great example of teaching right from wrong. Stop expecting society to impress morals upon your children with laws or police intervention when it's your job as a parent.

If this reads harsh then good because I can't believe some of the Liberty crushing bullshit I'm reading in this thread from adults. You all want people to not look at guns with a negative view because they're legal & then in the same breath do the same to others. Freedom applies across the board whether you personally agree or not.

If the worst thing you ever have to deal with is a neighbor smoking a joint quietly & peacefully in his car in the driveway then consider yourself lucky & move on w/life.

What a worthless thread.

IBTL indeed.

Well said Jer.

And for the forum I do not partake in marijuana consumption. When the neighbors are taking rips off of their bongzilla I just close my windows.

Ibtl i guess

As others have said this has run its course. Not for me or others to judge one way or another. Just like many other subjects that get peoples panties in a twist it is a law and here in the state of Colorado and it is legal. [Flower][beatdeadhorse]
