It was suggested to me earlier today that I should write a 'do you smoke pot?" diary.
I thought this was interesting, a mix of cannabis activism (polling) and meta (polling kossacks).
So...here 'tis.
The poll is supposed to be 'rather serious' in that it contains my serious effort to provide options all the way across the spectrum...so you get only one goofy option: the rest are intended to be serious.
Just a reminder: Six months after marijuana legalization: Colorado tax revenue skyrockets as crime falls
Denver, dubbed the “Mile High” city, now has about 340 recreational and medicinal pot shops. They tout the relaxing, powerful or introspective attributes of the crystal-encased buds with names like Jilly Bean, Sour Diesel and Silverback Kush.
In the first four months, marijuana sales amounted to more than $202 million, about a third of them recreational. Taxes from recreational sales were almost $11 million.
Despite some critics’ fears of a pot-driven crime explosion, Denver police say burglaries and robberies were down by between 4 and 5 percent in the first four months of the year.
Hss little to do with the poll, in a way, but it's there to suggest the days we have to sneak around, hide, fear incarceration and ruination are coming to an end.
I have had the pleasure of Sour Diesel many times already this year and that's some amazingly nice weed.
So please vote and maybe add a blurb about your history: when you started, how it happened, favorite pot-related story/adventure.
Thanks
