Marijuana-themed vacation spot opens in Colorado, offering high yoga, pot pairings with dinner and your own 'cannabis concierge'

A cannabis-themed vacation camp tailored to pot smokers is about to open in the Colorado countryside, offering events including high yoga and the services of a 'cannabis concierge'.
It is the first destination of its kind to open in the state, which legalized marijuana in 2014. Doors will open on July 1.

Marijuana camp: the ultimate adult summer getaway!

As a kid, summer camp consisted of canoeing around a lake, perhaps practicing archery in a field, and of course the familiar scent of bonfire mixed with the unmistakable odor of bug spray. Summer camp as an adult is basically the same, except it also smells like marijuana in this case.

Be ready for vicious attacks as druggies fear the slightest impediment to their drug flow. People attack that which they fear and druggies fear an opponent.
Colorado was becoming too much like California, seeing a huge influx of those who had screwed up CA and could no longer afford the taxes and high property costs. It looks as if the dope smoking queers are going to take over our country one state at a time.

Colorado is embarrassing.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Yeah Colorado's Embarrassing. If you consider a lower crime rate, higher state revenue, and less highway fatalities "embarrassing."

Market means no restrictions right? Entrepreneurship right? You CANNOT insert morals and virtues into a capitalistic soy. The goal in capitalism is purely to make money. So now we have aqn entrepreneur who has opene3d a business and some will complain about it. They are nothing but hypocrites.

Higher state revenue. Certainly this was the reason for passage. No doubt Colorado caved to the desire for increased revenue, but did MJ cause that increase? Well certainly sales of MJ that are now taxed woulld obviously raise sales tax but in general was it a boon for Colorado? Here are the statistics from the state itself which shows a general trend upwards without MJ being legalized.

Lower crime rate: According to the FBI crime is generally down across the country. To assign causality to the legalization of MJ to a perceived drop in Colorado does not explain the drop in other states.

Less highway fatalities, hard to make that argument with actual information:

Have Colorado highway fatalities decreased since marijuana use was legalized PolitiFact Oregon

It's true! There are still people who think smoking pot is worse than drinking scotch. Silly people.

The point is, marijuana was legalized, and the world did not end. Things are, in fact, better! The tyranny and bullshit has to stop. Legalize it!

You set up a false paradigm then argue against that paradigm. ALL laws are based on morality, every one. We could say that being against robbery is just someone's morality decision. It is illegal to dump mercury into the environment, that is a moral decision. As are ALL laws.

Can't open a Heroin den, moral decision made by society. Can't sell Meth on line, moral decision made by society. Selling drugs to increase state revenue is another moral decision made by society. Made no matter how destructive or damaging the sale may end up being. Much like prohibition, Alcohol is definitely dangerous for society but society made the moral decision that they rather get drunk then be safe.

What I am pointing out is that your statement that "things are in fact, better" is based on what? There is no causality between legalizing MJ and a lower fatality rate, more likely the cost of gasoline had more of an effect. There is no causality between the lower crime rate and MJ sales, or at least you have failed to show a causality. The only "benefit" would be an increase in state tax revenue. But even at that the increase comes from somewhere and that somewhere is a person's pocket book.

So making the claim that because the the legalization of MJ sales everything is better is just a statement you can't really back by fact. Your only real argument is that there is no evidence that everything hasn't gone to pot. (badly) Even with that, time will tell.
