tripitaka 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I can't see this happening in Japan but it might go some way to chilling out the yobbish element of some of the tourists! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/6917670/Colorado-ski-town-allows-marijuana.html Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks Trips,interesting article My view is that if you are in such a wondeful environment such as a ski resort no matter where it is, and you need drugs, you have a BIG problem. You need help. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 it's a ploy to get the brit dopeheads to head to the states with their ganga in their luggage. They get arrested and then get banged up. Saves the brit police doing the job. Link to post Share on other sites

mitchpee 10 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 This is already the case in Colorado's capital and biggest city Denver... It is legal within city limits to have up to an ounce of marijuana on your personnel but it is not to be grown/bought/sold. Also it is a city law so if a state trooper happens to be involved you can be persecuted because it transcends jurisdiction. Link to post Share on other sites

I always find this funny....its just meant to magically appear in your pocket then!! if you can't buy it, grow it or sell it then how are you meant to get it? Link to post Share on other sites

tripler 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 From the article: Quote: The ski area [...] will continue to enforce an existing state ban on using the lifts, slopes and trails while under the influence of the drug.

gerard 6 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm really surprised that a town has the legal jurisdiction to decrimilalize pot. Sounds odd to me. Link to post Share on other sites

3pin 0 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 If you have you medical card in Colorado you can nominate a provider or be one yourself. This will allow you to legally grow your own plants for personal consumption. You can also nominate a someone else to be your provider. If this provider has several people linked to their operation they can grow a lot of plants. IE 50 to 100 in many operations. It is really the next step to making the substance legal. In many mt towns in Colorado it is almost part of the culture. If you are a tourist eg a pom coming to visit, you cannot just go buy dope, you have to have your medical card. The Police in Breckenridge have better things to do than bust people for pot smoking and the town folk think the same. Link to post Share on other sites

sunsetcoast 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 curiousity has got the better of me! Is the green weed readily available in Japan! and what are the consequences for being caught with it? cheers and beers in advance Link to post Share on other sites
tripler 0 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 yes and I don't know, probably more serious than most western countries. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 IMO its not worth risking it. All illegal drugs are considered the same here, so you get caught with some weed, they'd give you the same sentence than if it was heroin or coke. The only powder I use now falls from the sky, is the driest, lightest and most abundant......gives you one hell of a high!! (and then a few biru's) Link to post Share on other sites
