    That said, the release went on to say that that it is still illegal to buy or sell marijuana or to consume marijuana in public.

    It has nothing to do with condition of employment, you can still get fired for testing positive. Especially if a company does any work on federally funded jobs.

    from a local business "The drugs we have on premises are regulated by federal law. We follow federal law regarding employee drug use."

    I'm of the opinion that what you do outside work should not a factor in employment (in the general case). The second it affects your performace though...

    It's still against federal law. Which means it's incredibly stupid for anyone to engage in the business of growing or selling "Colorado Legal" Marijuana (even MMJ).

    All the feds have to do is sit around and wait for a few pot dealers to get rich and they can swoop in and take ALL THEIR STUFF. Homes, cars, furniture, bank accounts, EVERYTHING under Federal asset forfeiture laws.

    Should be fun to watch.

    Don't you all understand? This is all for the children since all this tax money will help pay for schools right?

    What will this do for law enforcement officers. If someone is trafficking drugs, won't they just say that I have a legal amount and you can't search my vehicle?

    Probably not that big a change. Consent to search, and the law about searches where a person did not consent, haven't changed.

    About the only change here that I can see is, drug dogs don't distinguish between one drug smell and another when they alert. The alert signal is the same no matter the drug. Which means, if MJ is one of the smells on which the dog is trained, then that dog's alerts suddenly became a lot less admissible.
