Members DEADBYDAWN Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 I think Colorado will limit sales to dispensaries for the time being. I think the wording of the amendment left it up to the Governor how he wants to set up sales. That means that the Governor has the power to make it available everywhere tobacco products are. If the population of Colorado doesn't screw it up, this could happen one day. I haven't read about the WA state amendment yet. I don't think Coors will go into the pot business until they think it will make them an extra $500 million/year. It wouldn't surprise me to see Philip Morris or Lorillard get into business in Colorado rather quickly. On a documentary I saw it mention P M has purchased a ton of land in Cali.

As someone that has investments in PM's parent company, I am pretty psyched at what this could mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GodBlessTexas Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 Its a strange situation because its still a federal offense. The Obammy admin cracked down hard on legal weed in his first term, I would assume they will continue to do so. Yes he did, much more so than the Republican administration that came before him.

Members .homewrecker. Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 you can lie to your insurance company about smoking tobacco because they don't test for it, but they can catch thc.so they could raise your risk rating and make you pay more i'm sure. They absolutely do test for tobacco, what's worse is that typically it's done posthumously, so if I think I'm being a smart ass, lie about smoking and die in a car accident and they test me for tobacco use they can deny life insurance claims, so yeah, good luck with that.

Members .homewrecker. Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 No I meant as it is a "new" product to compete with alcohol. Also who will be able to sell and will they be required to use an easy identifier for non tobacco cigarettes? I find this all quite interesting. I don't think this really competes with alcohol, honestly it'll probably increase alcohol consumption if I've learned anything from experience...

Members charveldan Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 A lot of companies actually purposefully exclude marijuana from the testing.Never heard of that. Is that a CA thing ? A hair folicle test can tell every drug you did going back 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's common in California just because so many people do it that organizations would have a hard time keeping their best workers employed if they adhered to strict drug policies. Most companies don't use the hair follicle test because it's very expensive. It also is only as effective as your hair is long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reverend179 Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 Also the cheek swab doesn't seem to work very well. I had a coworker who didn't know he was to get cheek swabbed on his first day and had smoked weed in his car before he came inside, and he STILL passed the swab test.

Members Stonedtone Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 how will they regulate it and how do you think the alcohol and tobacco industries will respond? Specifically coors based in CO. Also will the rockies now be called the smokey mountains? Coors is no longer an American company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true, Dan. Its actually a hair analysis. They test the hair shaft itself Also, the detection window is only 90 days. They only cut the first 1.5 inches from the scalp... each .5 inch represents about 90 days assuming your hair grows at the average rate of .5 inches per month.

Members SnowStorm Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 i don't like this at all. i am immediately regretting colorado and washington's decisions. I'm not saying you but that moment of irony when pot smokers dreamed of weed becoming legal and then realizing the financial implications that they will make no money selling it anymore.

It's been decriminalized in MA too and is a fine for less than an ounce if caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bucksstudent Posted November 12, 2012 Members Share Posted November 12, 2012 Gee, you haven't followed this at all have you? Ya, he a pothead I don't smoke pot at all, but I do realize that marijuana is probably the best resource on earth, and our greedy government keeps it illegal to keep Exxon and other corps in business.
