Local Governments in WA and CO Try To Opt Out of Legal Marijuana
Party poopers
Growing sentiment for dropping prohibition
Hope to get feds to ease up on states where it has been legalized
They're trying to calculate taxes, of course
The power to tax is the power to destroy a good high
Smoke out the opposition

It's an untested market with a underground history
Not a lot of science in its definition of intoxication
Some gateway stupidity at the Gateway to the West
Because it can't be legal unless you tax the hell out of it
Why prohibitionists have an interest in allowing marijuana legalization
The public increasingly favors the idea, and Cheetos
Without, somehow, driving it back underground
Just in case somebody is caught with more than the legal limit
Judge gives seven days to give it back
They plan to extort high taxes in return for allowing pot use
Considering that tobacco smokers can be fired, doesn't seem a shocker
Why not just can those cops?
