So, your contention is that legalizing pot has made the roads safer in CO? Again, I have no idea.
Not sure, what are the statistics?

American roads are safer with legal alcohol?


Prohibition did not stop people from drinking and driving, and made life in American cities more violent. I doubt much has changed in 90 years.

I personally do not smoke, and would not smoke if it was legal. I think it should be legal, just just decriminalized.

I imagine the 8th in CO is of much higher quality


Speak for yourself. What I get in CO and TX are equivalent quality wise. Houston is not lacking in supply. And I'm a 37 year old family. I'm not getting street product. My dealer is actually my realtor. But like you said...

you're also paying for convenience. I think the majority of people would gladly pay a premium over street prices for the legitimacy and convenience that a store offers.


And you're absolutely right. I would HAPPILY pay the premium for legitimacy. But even CO already has a grey market popping up from home growers who now have the economic advantage of no regulation when selling their product. Though I'm interested to see if there is a crackdown on that in the future. I just have no idea how you would do it.

Gotcha. I wonder what the stats look like. They would be useful to sell the other side on legalization.

I bet the auto insurance industry has them somewhere but I'm not sure how to find them.

I'm pretty well versed in fitness but never researched this at all. How so?

Mainly just helps you zone out and push yourself further. You kinda lose that wall of making yourself pull back/slow down and run right through it.

You become acutely aware of every pain and ache in your body, but it all kind of numbs at the same time.

So physiologically it doesn't actually increases your endurance... it just changes the perception of your pain receptors.

Am i understanding that correctly?

Not sure. I read an article a while back about how lots of ultra marathon competitors use marijuana as a training tool. I immediately hit my one hitter and went for a run. I have found that it helps you get a good stride going and you kind of zone out and just get lost in running.
