SUMMARY: Fifty-four percent of voters approved Amendment 20 on November 7, 2000, which amends the state’s constitution to recognize the medical use of marijuana. The law took effect on June 1, 2001. It removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients who possess written documentation from their physician affirming that he or she suffers from a debilitating condition and advising that they "might benefit from the medical use of marijuana." (Patients must possess this documentation prior to an arrest.) Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: cachexia; cancer; chronic pain; chronic nervous system disorders; epilepsy and other disorders characterized by seizures; glaucoma; HIV or AIDS; multiple sclerosis and other disorders characterized by muscle spasticity; and nausea. Other conditions are subject to approval by the Colorado Board of Health. Patients (or their primary caregivers) may legally possess no more than two ounces of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than six marijuana plants. The law establishes a confidential state-run patient registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients. Patients who do not join the registry or possess greater amounts of marijuana than allowed by law may argue the "affirmative defense of medical necessity" if they are arrested on marijuana charges.

the actual amendment can be found here.

they bypassed the 6 plant limit by far, but they can still argue that since they are a major hub provider, their needs extend to the "affirmative defense of medical necessity".

a news story about it can be found here.
there's an issue with the way the warrant was carried out, so they may win even if the state appeals.

the big issue is that if this goes to a federal level, it's still illegal to possess or distribute marijuana in any amount, regardless of state laws regarding decriminalization.

How did marijuana become so demonized as to become a Schedule I substance?

Now if they would have done the Pepto-Bismal dance, this video would have been even better.

"NAUSEA HEARTBURN INDIGESTION, UPSET STOMACH, AND DIARRAHEA!"

I still think the female orgasm is a myth. No woman I've ever had sex with has reported having one of these so-called 'orgasms'. It's just a big lie promoted by feminists and males with monstrously proportioned penises well in excess of 3 inches in length. Laughter, nausea, and/or tears are the only things my partners have ever experienced.

I like how you talk about JG getting to the point of the issue while you merely use ad hominem attacks against her physical appearance and completely ignore her actual opinions.

I love when the right argues against their polar opposite by stating, "They're so left, they're practically LEFT!" As if being left of center is bad simply because it's left of center and not because of any actual valuable reason. Just once I'd like someone on the right to validate their argument with facts instead of mean-spirited vitriol.

Garafalo is known for being an outspoken celeb.(with a theatrical rap-sheet that would make any discriminating cinema-critique, FUCKING CRINGE!!!) when it comes to issues near and dear to her heart, such as her atheist dogma and recent code pink support...etc etc...She's a blowhard, fringe, bitter and cynical to the point of nausea, her comedy blows as well, which is why she parlayed her early comedic career into agenda-oriented politics-of-the-week....the only way she can get any airtime these days....
She fits on BM's show perfectly, they need to do a remake of "The Thing With Two Heads", perhaps they will like the nearness so much, they will keep the
gig permanently.

JG, who gives a fuck there were no weapons of mass destruction, or that you hate war, or that you embrace whatever morality-of-the-week someone invents....you truly are, a boor, and your appearance here on Bill's sideshow, shows just how much your inner world, collides with your outer world.(LOOKING LIKE A REJECT FROM A PUNK-THRIFT STORE) If you got to the meat of issues, like so many on the left are prone NOT to do, rather than harping on symptoms of a problem, well, that's different than diversion innit...that's speaking truth instead of stringing a bunch of half-assed ideas together, and being obnoxious, loud, and un-funny.......(can you tell choggie sides with qm, in his disgust for this cretin...and it ain't because she smells un-American, either!....SHE'S TOO GODDAMN AMERICAN IFFN YA AXE MEES!)

I watched this trailer enough times to give me mild nausea now...

Geez ladybug, I can't believe your virtually harmless comment. I almost dropped this, but the more I think about it.. the crazier it is.

From wikipedia:

Carbon dioxide content in fresh air varies and is between 0.03% (300 ppm) to 0.06% (600 ppm), depending on location and in exhaled air approximately 4.5%. When inhaled in high concentrations (greater than 5% by volume), it is immediately dangerous to the life and health of plants, humans and other animals. The current threshold limit value (TLV) or maximum level that is considered safe for healthy adults for an 8-hour work day is 0.5% (5000 ppm). The maximum safe level for infants, children, the elderly and individuals with cardio-pulmonary health issues would be significantly less.

These figures are valid for carbon dioxide supplied in "pure" form. In indoor spaces occupied by humans the carbon dioxide concentration will also reach a level higher than in pure outdoor air. Concentrations higher than 1000 ppm will cause discomfort in more than 20% of occupants, and the discomfort will increase with increasing CO2 concentration. The discomfort will be caused by various gases coming from human respiration and perspiration, and not by CO2 itself. At 2000 ppm will the majority of occupants feel a significant degree of discomfort, and many will develop nausea and headache. The CO2 concentration between 300 and 2500 ppm is used as an indicator of indoor air quality in spaces polluted by human occupation.

Acute carbon dioxide toxicity is sometimes known as choke damp, an old mining industry term, and was the cause of death at Lake Nyos in Cameroon, where an upwelling of CO2-laden lake water in 1986 covered a wide area in a blanket of the gas, killing nearly 2000.

From MSDS

>4% by volume in the atmosphere produces labored breathing and is dangerous for even a few minutes of exposure; >12% causes rapid unconsciousness; a few hours exposure at 25% results in death.

Maybe liquid Nitrogen or helium would only be equivalent to holding your breathe.. but CO2 is toxic. So I realize one lb of dry ice in a 20ft x 20ft room is relatively harmless, but you are talking about inhaling it directly over the course of however long you are hitting the hookah. That is going to be way over an average intake of 3000ppm. Now you might argue that when breathing normal air in between hitting the hookah, you are dispelling a lot of excess CO2, but I think your blood is getting elevated toxic levels during the hose sucking parts.

Downvote for Regis-induced nausea.

I partly agree with angelsvn. Partly. There is that weird news stuff, and also that background music is NOT in the original version. (It's Peter Gabriel's soundtrack for the Last Temptation of Christ)

I have been working on attaining a better copy, and I hope James or dag will indulge me in replacing this current unclean copy with a more pristine clip. My purpose in posting was only about the original content, not these other confounding layers.

Golly gee, angelsvn. While I did not create this clip, as a liberal, I hope you will let me know if my liberal stupidity leads to unendurable hypocrisy. Glad to be in the company of someone who can see things so much more clearly.

Sorry if this comes off as harsh, but I contend the comments about Fox News is valid. Among the newscasts, Fox news specifically stands out for its truthiness. The clip must have been from something else, I agree. I just bristle when I read an attempt to dismiss the point about Fox as "stupid liberal propaganda" -- when Fox was only a tangential point to the original posting. And seeing you speculate this unknown source is "propaganda" while you defend Fox News as being equal in sin to the other news sources... it just triggered a bit of verbal nausea.

I agree skepticism is required when getting one's news. I do not agree all sources are equal.
