Colorado voters legalized medical marijuana in 2001, with the passage of a state constitutional amendment. The industry languished after the amendment became effective, since marijuana was still illegal under the federal law. The risk of federal prosecution, even though medical cannabis was technically legal under state law, was simply too great. However, in 2009, the federal government indicated an unwillingness to enforce federal drug laws in contravention to the 14 state medical marijuana laws in effect around the county.

A good smoke shop is really kind of hard to find. A lot of them out there either specialize in only cigars and tobaccos or, at the opposite end of the spectrum, many shops only carry cheap, discounted cigarettes.

Let’s hope you never hear them. “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.” Some people believe that a police officer has to provide every person whom they stop or with whom they speak their Miranda warnings.

An La Times medical reporter interviewed a group of doctors that were researching the benefits of medical marijuana. The issue of whether marijuana has any medical benefits is all determined on whom you ask–should marijuana be labeled with the dangerous drugs like PCP and heroin, or is it a miracle herb that has an abundance of uses and is being suppressed by the government–perhaps its something in between: an herb with tremendous medical benefits yet with drawbacks, worth looking into.
