State propositions can have unintended consequences. Of course this one on where a kid would want to go to college goes without saying. But I came across two other surprising issues of late on legalizing marijuana state by state.
First off there was a lengthy piece in the Houston Chronicle noting that Colorado is only 40 miles from Texas, only an Oklahoma pan handle away from reefer madness. This has causes some Texas agencies and the State Legislature to talk about putting up customs search stops on the Texas State border. Tons of marijuana have already come into Texas since Colorado began growing it for Medical purposes and now they fear the door will swing wide open. Border patrols and search between states.
An even more alarming issue is that Colorado is expecting tens of thousands of stoners immigrating to Colorado for the Rocky Mountain high. Who knows, soon the people of Colorado will be doing more TV watching and less shooting each other. And then what?
