HOW HIGH IS TOO HIGH?

Now that Pandora’s Box has been opened in Colorado, a monster has been unleashed that will not go willingly back into the box

Aside from the moral and medical issues associated with the legalization of Marijuana, the question that never gets answered by the pot advocates is: How high is too high?

There are no standards for public intoxication or driving while under the influence of pot as there is with alcoholic beverages. Now that Pandora’s Box has been opened in Colorado, a monster has been unleashed that will not go willingly back into the box. Only government restrictions will curtail all the predictable aftereffects of bad law.

And here is an interesting note. My niece lives in Colorado and she told me just last week that the odor of pot drifts through almost every public place, so that breathing clean air is a challenge. Funny, here in California smoking cigarettes in public places can lead to fines.
