    Both lies.

    Teen use down, per JAMA: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-teens-marijuana-laws/legalizing-pot-tied-to-less-teen-marijuana-use-idUSKCN1U32HL


    Marijuana sales tax money goes to the Public School Fund and Public School Capital Construction Assistance Fund, not drug education, per CO. https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/revenue/disposition-marijuana-tax-revenue


    You don’t get to just make shit up. Support your claims.

    Both links are dead, just like your civility. I'm not making anything up, but I'm also not interested enough to hunt down sources. Believe it or not, I don't care. I'm not spending more time on it than this post. 

    I work in high levels of mental health and criminal justice in Colorado and have seen multiple presentations and streams of data from hospitals and juvenile detention agencies, with data being pulled from the entirety of the state. Stats are clear and consistent that youth in CO are using marijuana at higher levels than pre-legalization. 

    The education info came from various news outlets; it was a pretty big story out here for a while and made its way to the legislature for consideration. 

    Like I said, I support legalization but states need to be careful about how the tax revenue is used and about the potential deleterious effects it can have on other parts of the system. Not sure why that threw you sideways -- maybe you need to smoke more.

    You post and your concern sounds you're working off the basic assumption that legalization guarantees an increase in use.  This is false. In kids, we've seen the opposite.  Use has gone down. 

    Marijuana use among youth in Colorado has escalated since legalization. And the money from the Colorado pot tax earmarked for "education" has gone to marijuana education, not to the public school system. I support legalization but it has lots of problems, despite the financial benefits that can be realized. Maybe the next few states to legalize can see what mistakes have been made in the first few and do it differently.

    I think it's a great bill.  In fact, Megadeth is probably my least favorite of the four.  Fight me.

    Precisely my point -- if Megadeth is going to tour, they picked a strange set of openers. I'd say the low ticket sales confirm that but good news for you -- cheap tickets for a bill you like. No fight necessary. Enjoy it.

    $20 for lawn or 100 level in Atlanta. Yikes.

    The venue is 3.4 miles from my house and I like In Flames and Megadeth but not Trivium or Lamb of God. Maybe I’ll go day of and see what I can find.

     

    It's a weird bill.

    I’ve seen them probably 30 times. The last time was at Fair Market for the Wax Trax event. It was a set of ‘92 and older. He really enjoyed himself...much more than it’s seemed for the past 20 years. There were some obvious taped vocals on a couple of songs so he could appear to keep up.

    Got a ticket for Denver so I’ll use it as an excuse to hit RMNP.

    Cool -- that's good to hear. I love their stuff (even the recent stuff) and glad to know he and the band can still bring it.

    damn. do want. do not want to drive.

    Read Al's autobiography last year and it turned me off from wanting to see them live. He truly hates performing live and said he only does it for money, which is why he charges so much. Saw them back in the 80s and 90s which was great, but now I think it would be a pretty disappointing experience. Maybe I'm wrong and the current shows are still good.

    I was taking a proscribed medication that didn't have a generic when I first started trading it.  No not The blue pill. The generic came out and I got it. Within days I could tell it wasn't working. I went back to the name brand and it worked. So sometimes there is a difference. 

    hope it wasn't for spelling

  8. Skip ahead to 16:00 to see Pipeline when it's surfable, but the best part of the video starts at 21:30 when the swell hits and Pipe starts closing out. It's a 10-minute POV paddle just to stay afloat and alive. Gives a really good idea of what it's like to be out there when the ocean jumps up and reminds you who's boss.
