Colorado unveils pot-vending machines

"Linked to" sounds pretty tenuous as does "significant contributing factor"

They might want to check their blood and find out what else was they were taking.

They were probably uptight republicans and could stand the thrill.

You are just in denial or being obstinate. Amazing how you know what caused my friend to drive into a telephone pole back in the 80s while he was stoned.

I have no issues with drug use. You can shoot heroine if you want provided my tax dollars does not have to be used to pay for your treatment, food or living expenses because you cannot hold a job or be a responsible member of society.

I partied with best of them when younger. Thank God I made it out. I lost many friends in their teens in early 20s. One died in a car seat next to me when 19 and I was 20 and I spent 3 months in hospital.

You are kidding yourself if you think weed does not have negative life consequences and impair one's ability to drive. Weed today is much stronger. Different strands have an upper, aggressive effect. I imagine we are going to start seeing a surge in traffic related deaths caused by weed now that it is being better tracked.

I am neither in denial nor am I obstinate. I believe that there is an entire host of pharmaceuticals that are not to be used when operating any type of machinery. These include some over-the-counter cold medications.

Most states have laws covering these, as you well know, and many states cover this in the driving examination.

Pot contains a psycho-active chemical that has varying effects on different people. Look at the list of side-effects on most medication. There is no reason to believe that Pot is any different.

Who cares what the pharmas have in them. That does not mean that weed has never caused a death (what we were discussing) or that weed is good for you or that you should drive on weed. Now you sound worse than mere denial or just plain obstinate.

Overheard at the vending machine :"Anyone got change for a $100 ,so I can buy a joint!"
Coming soon ,Hot Chocolate laced with Hash Oil?
I guess because it's legalized in Colorado ,stories of death related to users of edible Pot products are being blamed . When in reality ,its the users abuse and negligence , just like with booze or pills , that has caused these tragedies. These things would most likely occur even if weed wasn't legal. but , with it legal the anti - Pot advocates get to blow the whole story up even more by association cause its legal and therefore why these terrible things happened!

It really affects everyone differently , just like booze and not as harmful as tobacco !

People need to be responsible for their own actions and stop abusing something til it kills you ,

or you unfortunately kill someone.!

How many drunk drivers are arrested each year , and sorrowfully are those intoxicated by booze committing

deaths and injuries by their intoxication. PoT needs to be treated just like any intoxicating product!

During each shift at her drive-through window, once an hour, Cordelia Cordova sees people rolling joints in their cars. Some blow smoke in her face and smile.

Drive-through weed dispensaries??? Far out!!! Sorta like 'Jack in the Box' back in the '70s

But I don't get the "once an hour" bit...
