What laws are OK to break today?

Cause Reid stands to lose money on the cattle thing.

The thing I don't get is why the feds are so hell bent on enforcing a law about a cow shitting on some BLM land in the middle of nowhere, but then thousands of people break federal drug laws at a scheduled date and time, and the feds are no where to be seen.

I would think 300k people are generating a shitload of revenue for Denver

Weed sales are estimated to bring in +40 million dollars in tax revenue, higher than originally planned. Typically Washington politics, if it benefits you than look the other way.

I estimate every 7-11 within 2mi of Civic Center will be pretty busy today. Thursday might have been a good day to buy stock in Frito-Lay.

I am sure that I broke some law last week, but I don't which one and it was not intentional.

The realities turned out to be less than half of what some hoped they would be.

Colorado tax revenue on recreational marijuana down

In Colorado, not as many people are buying recreational pot as predicted.

And that means the high tax revenues state lawmakers thought would be rolling in are not.

With seemingly everyone wanting a cut of Colorado’s pot taxes, for the first time, the joint budget committee took up the debate over how to dole the dollars out. And new numbers show sales aren’t quite the what the state expected.

Not only are sales lower than projected, so too are the number of businesses approved to sell it.

The state expected to approve one-hundred-ten businesses the first month.

Only about half that number, 59, were approved as of February 1.

“They missed the mark and so the volatility unpredictability of this revenue stream is why I think responsible prudent thing to do is spend these moneys in rears looking at last year’s actual collection,” Pat Steadman, (D) Co. General Assembly said.

Meaning they won’t spend money they don’t have yet, except this year.

The budget committee will create a mini-budget for the tax dollars collected in the first six months – an estimated 20-million dollars.

Far below the 54-million the governor budgeted for.

Like the governor, the committee plans to put much of the money toward prevention programs to protect kids.

But, the legislature will have the final say.

“If there’s going to be amendments, feeding frenzies, shopping sprees, and lots of lobbying that goes on around this so be it,” Steadman said.

So with all the open toking, the Denver Police arrested ... 22 people yesterday. Sounds to me like they just chose a small minority so they could say they arrested some people. Tell me again how much money Denver made off the "rally"? Our society has gone total 'tard.

when the .gov continually breaks laws at it's leisure is it any surprise when people follow suit?

Went downtown today to enjoy the the nice weather. Avoided City Park, but walked around Cheesman Park. Didn't go near Civic Center but there were a ton of people at the Merchandise Mart for something cannibis related.

This thing with enforcing only the laws that suit them at random times needs to stop. I think the rule of law is starting to go the way of 1 dollar gas. I saw the Merch Mart was doing a Pot fest. Thought it was funny, in a few weeks it will be full of gun lovers. One group has gained tons in the way of freedom, the other group constantly being squeezed and under the microscope. Funny turn of events.

Are you going to cheer when there is a sting that busts a firearm transfer with no back ground check?
