As I stated before, this is why I'm voting against it even though I support MJ legalization.
We become the only state to legalize MJ and we'll end up becoming California (or worse). You can kiss any chance of future conservative leadership goodbye and expect a massive increase in spending, taxes and ruinous regulations. I figure the first thing these new hard-left Coloradoans will do is dismantle TABOR. And if the winds ever blow in favor of gun control again you can kiss our shall-issue CCW system and NFA friendly sheriffs goodbye too.
Now if the Federal Government were to de-criminalize MJ at the Federal level first, And then there were several other states passing legalization laws at the same time (or better yet, before us) I'd gladly vote for it.
Do you feel that this is different than the way that Montana bucked the Feds by trying to make local machine guns legal, even though they weren't Federally? Do you feel the same?
