ES's Offical 11/6/2012 Election Results Thread (DISCUSS THE RESULTS HERE)

Snarky. Cute

I suspect if you had dealt with this industry from both a law enforcement and public health perspective (which I currently am) and witness, firsthand, how it impacts the local youth population, you might have a bit different of an opinion. Or maybe not.

Well the law enforcement problem should be solved now

And lighting up a plant that makes you giggle and fall asleep is hardly a public health crises. In fact, I think it will mellow this country out a bit

great speech. obama seems energized. a cnn reporter insists that obama is going to take his cases to the people this term. it's what he's best at. i hope he does.

Absolutely it's not solved.

1. It's still illegal federally.

2. You think the cartels that pump marijuana and heroin-laced marijuana up the I-25 corrider are going to pack up and go home?

Since medicinal marijuana was legalized in CO, we've seen a marked increase in marijuana usage among the youth population...which is not a good thing from a publice health perspective.

And please save me the typical arguments of alcohol being legal, or youth can already access marijuana so it's no big deal, or hey it's legal in Amsterdam and Portugal with no "problems." They are non sequitur agruments.

And lighting up a plant that makes you giggle and fall asleep is hardly a public health crises. In fact, I think it will mellow this country out a bit

I don't recall ever classifying the Amendment 64 passage as a "public health crisis." There's no doubt marijuana legalization is going to have a detrimental public health impact. It remains to be seen how severe or non-severe that impact will be.

I don't know what possessed me to pop over to the tailgate on election day, but I'll offer my two cents before heading back to the stadium where I belong:

Are people still peddling this "Reefer Madness" nonsense?

Fine by me of course, it is your opinion, but I'm not buying it, and neither is the public apparently. Decriminalization of marijuana almost always passes referendum. Colorado and Washington are more the rule than the exception. Not that the public is always right, but I think in this case they are.

No Mr. PResident; there's probably at least 40% that hates your guts.

Probably, although I would venture at least 40% of those are racist, although I will happily assume you are in the other 60% of the haters.

I'm not one to cry racism easily, but it looks pretty bad when old white men are the only ones against him, which is what it is. Women, minorities of all stripes, and young people all favor Obama by a wide margin. What else are we to make of this discrepancy, I mean honestly?

The GOP will do well to move past the ideology of the 1950s before everybody who was alive in the 1950s kicks the bucket. Otherwise the next generation will move past them.

It was. And deep down most of you know how this game is played. Though Tonights not the night to expose it I suppose. It worked. Congrats.

No, I think you're way off.

If anyone ran an awful, dishonorable campaign, it was Romney.

[ArmchairRedskin]

Score another one for the 7 Eleven cup poll. Four in a row since they started it in 2000

[Kosher Ham]

Just saw this on the Today show...made me chuckle...

[MattFancy]

Has anyone seen Nate Silver? Is he still partying? LOL

Oh and seriously, Fred Davis will be on the Denver Broncos next year, book it!

So wait...you're saying that marijuana is one of the biggest problems facing our law enforcement, troubling our teens, and causing health problems??? I think not...

On behalf of former teenagers everywhere who smoked weed all through high school, graduated from college and landed a decent job to become productive members of society, I'd like to call bull****.
