But if the only person it's affecting is the driver, then it's limiting my freedom to drive 100 mph if I want. Now, I may or may not hurt someone else, and in the event I do, then I deserve prosecution. That's pretty much the same argument for legalizing marijuana and other drugs.

It is not the same argument at all. The government builds roads to be used by licensed drivers and thus has a responsibility to design to a standard and regulate the licensed users, their occupants and other vehicles on the road as well as people in that area. If you travel outside the design limitations of the road you risk everyone on and near the road. You agree to follow speed limits and other laws when you obtain a license. You dont have any rights outside state road laws.
West Virginia could make allot of tax money off legal marijuana the 1st 40 million made in Colorado was ear marked to schools. Legal Marijuana did not lead to civil unrest the world did not end. Legal Marijuana in West Virginia is not a question of If its when. get in the action now be ahead of the curve don't play from behind
You are way off your numbers. The state of Colorado earmarked $13 million for schools before legalization, and now has flagged $19 million.
Perhaps YOU are the one buying in to the propaganda and misguided information?
Amendment 64 language stated that the 1st 40 million of marijuana taxes collected be ear marked to schools voters upheld this last month. maybe you should read the complete language of amendment 64 that was passed by the voters. Colorado collected way more than the figures you quoted

Ummm......maybe you should read your own link. It says my numbers buddy.

40 million needs to be spent on schools read it . The prohibitionists like your self have wasted 100 times that on your failed policy
I have. And it plainly states "$19 million". Sorry....you have been lying the entire time. Propanganda..... ????
you should read what the voters past. 40 million is required to be spent on school construction but a prohibitionist like yourself resorts to name calling. I doubt you even know how to read
Ok.....and that still doesn't validate your claims. And the article was done in 2014.......the article I read and you used earlier that had the numbers that are CORRECT was in 2015.....
Nice try, but ultimate FAIL!
I read fine. I'm also honest. Two things that are obviously foreign to you. Another thing that is foreign to you are morals. The need for taxes doesn't superscede placing drugs that should be a controlled substance into the marketplace legally. Very simple. Oh, btw.....nice whining about namecalling immediately after namecalling. Typical hypocrite.
I assume this was a lame attempt at a joke. You saying something about "morals" with all the freaks and nuts you support is hilarious. Typical hypocrite...... LMAO...
What freaks and nuts do I support? If you are going to accuse, please have the balls to provide names. I can't think of anyone that fits that description.
Is it moral to put people in jail and to destroy there lives over drugs? is it moral to keep wasting tax payer money on an unwinnable war? Is it moral to keep lining the pockets of corrupt politicians cartels and terrorist organizations that make money off the illegal drug trade? Who died and made you god? who are you to define whats right and wrong? Typical hypocrite buy a mirror and look into it
Nothing from our weed-smoking propagandist today? Figured he would post more statistics that prove I was right. HAHA. Talk about your ultimate fail, this thread was it. Guy was misproven, then provides a link that proves ME right and HIM wrong, then posts an older link that was supposed to show he was right but was outdated and proved to be inaccurate.

The 1st 40 million was to go to schools. 2014 was the 1st year of legal recreational sales. The state has already met the 40 million that was required by the amendment that was passed by voters. The state can now spend the money however it chooses. The article you have reference is from 2015

Yes, which is NOW and CURRENT and is NOT the $40 million you were attempting to say was being spent on education. They are only spending $19 million....yet you conveniently left that part out. Wonder why?
Go smoke your weed and have "fun". I'd prefer it stay in Colorado.
They only spent 19 million on schools in 2015. They where only obligated to spend the 1st 40 million which was done in 2014. The state constitution only mandated 40 million why don't you take the time to read what was passed by the voters and you will see that only 40 million was guaranteed. Maybe if this was passed in WV the 40 million spent would have increased your reading comprehension abilities
I thought this was 2015? Not 2014? So what you are saying is what I've been saying. Who's reading comprehension is bad? They spent $40 million in 2014......and $19 million in 2015......hmmmmm......which is the more recent statistics?
Well if it's legalized for medicinal or recreational it makes no difference to me. My plans to capitalize on it are already being made.
The only have to spend 40 million on schools total that was what they spent in 2014 yes in 2015 they spent 19 million they can spend the money however they want now because they spent the full 40 in 2014. what part of state constitutional law don't you understand
You can't figure out the difference between 2014 - 2015 maybe you've been smoking too much yourself.
since you are a person who probably spouts off about the bible look what it says about seed bearing plants
Genesis 1:29English Standard Version (ESV)
29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
Last I checked marijuana was a seed bearing plant
Are you really that moronic? Again, you post a quote that will disprove what you are saying. Look back at it.......
"....You shall have them for food"........
Last time I checked, you didn't EAT marijuana.
A large part of recreational and medical sales are edibles. you can buy marijuana bread, brownies, gummy bears, soda, ice cream all these are food products. You eat them moron look it up yourself
You have it backwards, the speed limit is usually set 10 mph below the design speed. Nice try though. I'll bet you stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.
And, you eat the damned thing? I have not indulged, but I thought it was to be smoked. When you eat it, how is it prepared? Main course , or side dish?
Then I found your menu. DAMN. Ah, double Damn. And it is a body lotion? Can I get one of those joints I saw in Cheech and Chong?
I don't. What's the reference?I always knew you were a young girl.
Sorry if you don't get the joke.
