    LAS VEGAS HAS STRIPPERS, SHOWS AND NOW LEGAL WEED

    LAS VEGAS HAS STRIPPERS, SHOWS AND NOW LEGAL WEED

    BY HARRIET SINCLAIR ON 6/29/17 AT 5:13 PM

    U.S.LAS VEGAS RECREATIONAL CANNABIS

    If there was ever any doubt, Las Vegas is set to further solidify its reputation as a party town this weekend, with one state senator saying it will be like “Amsterdam on steroids” after sales of cannabis for recreational use begin on Saturday.


    Nevada voted on November 8 in favor of legalizing weed for recreational use, and the law goes into effect July 1. Existing medical cannabis dispensaries will be permitted to sell their stock for recreational use if it meets the labeling requirements.


    “Everything we know shows that millennials are very pro-marijuana, and that’s the new marketing push,” Nevada state Senator Tick Segerblom, a cannabis advocate, told the Las Vegas Sun.


    “This is a game-changer for Las Vegas and tourism here as far as I’m concerned,” he said, adding the city will be like “Amsterdam on steroids.”

    A total of 37 dispensaries in Las Vegas Valley were granted early licenses to begin selling cannabis for recreational use starting this weekend, and the owner of one told the Sun he is excited about the new development.


    “It’s a historic moment, and I think the growth will be both immediate and gradual,” Armen Yemenidjian, owner of Essence Medical Dispensary, said. “We’re ready to go and very excited.”


    The new law will regulate marijuana like alcohol, meaning only those existing dispensaries and liquor distributors will be allowed to sell weed for the first 18 months after the law goes into effect, Carson City District Judge James Wilson ruled last week, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.


    However, there is uncertainty over who is allowed to transport marijuana. Dispensaries have been forced to stock up ahead of the law going into effect, given fears that they will not be able to restock their supplies until the transport dispute is settled.


    “I hope that we’ll have plenty of stock on hand to serve customers until the distributors are ready to resupply us,” Andrew Jolley, CEO of the Source dispensaries in Las Vegas, told the Review-Journal.


    “Nobody really knows [how much stock to order] because nobody knows what the recreational sales volume is going to be,” he added.

    I'm good with this. I think all states should legalize marijuana. Focus your law and order on prescription and hard drugs that actually harm, debilitate and kill tens of thousands of Americans every year while running up the cost of health care.

    I'm not fine with it and disagree that all states should legalize marijuana. As a Schedule I class drug under the Controlled Substances Act, marijuna is still illegal under federal law.

    Allowing individual states to ignore our drug laws should not be tolerated. We should never pick and choose which laws we decide to obey. We're either a country that respects the rule of law or we're not. This is no different than what the Obama administration did in ignoring many of our immigration laws! You change laws through legislative agreement, not ignore them because you don't agree with them.

    62% of conservative Republicans oppose legalizing marijuana use, while just 33% favor it the latest Pew's latest poll found.

    I want all states to legalize marijuana and shut down the illegal drug trade that today is controlled 100% by foreign drug cartels. Marijuana is 70% of the foreign illegal drug market. And grow some hemp too. That is a truly wonderful product and we need our own native supplies of it.

    GO STATES!! SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL WAR ON MARIJUANA AND HEMP!!

    Support for marijuana legalization continues to rise

    By Abigail Geiger
    October 12, 2016

    The share of Americans who favor legalizing the use of marijuana continues to increase. Today, 57% of U.S. adults say the use of marijuana should be made legal, while 37% say it should be illegal. A decade ago, opinion on legalizing marijuana was nearly the reverse – just 32% favored legalization, while 60% were opposed.

    The shift in public opinion on the legalization of marijuana has occurred during a time when many U.S. states are relaxing their restrictions on the drug or legalizing it altogether. In June, Ohio became the 25th state (plus Washington, D.C., Guam and Puerto Rico) to legalize marijuana in some form after Gov. John Kasich signed a medical marijuana program into law. This November, Americans in nine states will vote on measures to establish or expand legal marijuana use.

    Young adults have disproportionately driven the shift toward public support of the drug, though support is rising among other generations as well. Millennials – those ages 18 to 35 in 2016 – are more than twice as likely to support legalization of marijuana as they were in 2006 (71% today, up from 34% in 2006), and are significantly more likely to support legalization than other generations.

    Support for marijuana legalization has also increased among members of Generation X and Baby Boomers (ages 36-51 and 52-70 in 2016, respectively). More than half of Gen Xers (57%) support legalization, a considerable jump from just 21% in 1990. A majority of Boomers (56%) also support legalization, up from just 17% in 1990.

    The Pew Research Center survey, conducted Aug. 23-Sept. 2 among 1,201 U.S. adults, also finds persistent partisan and ideological divides in public opinion on marijuana legalization.

    By more than two-to-one, Democrats favor legalizing marijuana over having it be illegal (66% vs. 30%). Most Republicans (55%) oppose marijuana legalization, while 41% favor it.

    Republicans are internally divided over marijuana legalization. By a wide margin (63% to 35%), moderate and liberal Republicans favor legalizing the use of marijuana. By contrast, 62% of conservative Republicans oppose legalizing marijuana use, while just 33% favor it.

    The differences among Democrats are more modest. Liberal Democrats are 23 percentage points more likely than conservative and moderate Democrats to favor legalization (78% vs. 55%).

    As past Pew Research Center surveys have found, Hispanics are less supportive of legalizing marijuana than are whites or blacks. Hispanics are divided – 49% say the use of marijuana should be illegal, while 46% say it should be legal. Identical majorities of whites and blacks (59% each) favor marijuana legalization.

    By 2020, marijuana will be legal in a vast majority of states. This is a correction long over-due. The ultimate wisdom of the American People has over-ridden the hysteria of those suckered by competing self-serving business and financial interests that benefit from an illegal drug trade controlled by foreign drug cartels.

    You're misinformed. Legalizing marijuna will not shut down the cartels. The cartels will always, 100% of the time, be able to undercut a legal market, plus they'll just branch out and increase production and sales on other drugs. All you're doing by legalizing marijuna is making it accessible to more people, including our children and grandchildren.

    States know better, because the sales and revenue are pouring in by boatloads. Proof's in the pudding. And the pudding has been served. Customers do not want to deal with these killers in drug cartels, they want to shop in nice safe stores and buy their weed there even if it costs a little more.

    And the Kids Card in the legalization debate is as non-selling as the Race card in the illegal immigration debate.

    Americans are awake now. No one has died from weed while 60,000 Americans are dying ever year from opioid overdose, so with facts and death tolls in hand, they're legalizing pot and going after the medical industry prescribing killer narcotics.

    Marijuana-related deaths, suspensions & problems spike in Colorado – report

    Published time: 22 Sep, 2015 04:11


    © Steve Dipaola / Reuters

    A new study of marijuana drug use in Colorado found increases in marijuana-related traffic deaths, hospital visits, school suspensions, lab explosions, and pet poisonings. The study was conducted by a federal government program.

    The 166-page report released this month analyzed the effects of legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational use in Colorado spanning the time period from 2006 to the present. Along with the state of Washington, Colorado is considered as something of laboratory in which the effects of legalizing marijuana use can be studied.

    The study showed that the number of drivers testing positive for marijuana increased 100 percent from 2007 to 2012, with marijuana-related fatalities doubling from 37 to 78. Traffic fatalities total around 500 a year in the state.

    One of the reports key findings was that the number of children aged zero to five exposed to marijuana increased 268 percent when comparing the period from 2006 to 2009 to the period from 2010 to 2013: triple the national average.

    The report showed that more young people aged 12 to 17 were using marijuana as well. When asked during a national survey in 2012 whether they had used marijuana in the past month, 10.47 percent of Colorado’s youth said they had, which was 39 percent higher than the national average.

    “I never dreamed in a million years that this would happen to my son,” Kendal, a parent who didn’t want to use his last name, told CBS, referring to a time when he came home to find his 13-year-old son unconscious from what he says was a marijuana overdose.

    “He was gray. His heart wasn’t beating and he wasn’t breathing,” Kendal said.
    Kendal used CPR to resuscitate him, and later talked to his son’s high school peer and supplier.

    Marijuana-related emergency room visits grew 57 percent in two years, from 8,198 in 2011 to 12,888 in 2013, the study found, with a 29 percent increase in emergency room visits for teens.

    The report also found that drug-related suspensions and expulsions increased 32 percent between the 2008-2009 and 2012-2013 school years. The majority of expulsions were for marijuana violations.

    From 2006 to 2008, there were 1,000 to 4,800 medical marijuana cardholders and no known dispensaries in Colorado. As of the end of 2012, there were 108,000 cardholders and 532 licensed dispensaries.

    In November 2012, voters passed an amendment allowing anyone over the age of 21 to use marijuana recreationally.

    Other findings included data showing that seizures of Colorado pot being shipped out of state soared in 2014. Pot seizures increased 397 percent between 2008 and 2013. The average number of pounds seized increased 35.5 percent from 2005 to 2008 when compared to the time period from 2009 to 2013. US Mail parcels were intercepted being shipped to 33 states, representing an increase of 1,280 percent.

    Increased distribution of and access to marijuana has also led to increases in crime, lab explosions, and poisonings, according to the study. The number of pets poisoned from ingesting marijuana increased fourfold in six years, with a total of 153 cases reported from 2006 -2012.

    The report also found that the estimated annual revenue from the sale of recreational marijuana varies from $65 million to $118 million. Interestingly, the majority of counties and cities in Colorado have banned recreational marijuana businesses despite the drug being legal.

    The report was carried out by the federal government’s Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, a program that assists federal, state and local and tribal law enforcement in critical drug-trafficking regions.
