Thousands stood in line on Wednesday to be the first to legally purchase recreational marijuana in the state of Colorado.

At least 37 stores across Colorado were fully licensed and opened to sell marijuana to anyone 21 or over for any purpose on Wednesday, the Denver Post reported. Sales started at 8 a.m.

Across the state, thousands cheerfully braved bitter cold weather and stood in line for hours to legally buy marijuana. Besides the money, all they needed was identification.

First time I visit Colorado, I'm buying some. 

I've only smoked pot once, and it didn't do anything.  I'd like to be high just once in my life.

I'll go with you.  Been there, want to go again.

THC is the opposite of alcohol.  It stays in the system longer and you tend to not build up a tolerance, so the more you smoke the faster you get high and the longer it lasts.  Or so I remember.

If only every other state would get with the program.

Ok so lets say I go to Colorado. Get baked. Come home.

Say I have an employer. One who does random drug screening. Could I get in trouble for partaking in a legal activity on my own time?

Just curious.

Yes. A company can have whatever policy it wants. Drinking is legal too but I can't come to work drunk. So is cursing loudly. But that'll get me in trouble as well.

It's the catch 22 of these laws. I still wouldn't be able to if I wanted to for fear of a Random at work.

Before you know it, beating off at your desk will be a mister meaner.

Yes, because it is still a federal crime.  Boeing sent all the employees notice that even in Washington that the company drug policy was not changed.

Not sure we are meaning the same thing. A company can prohibit anything it wants federally legal or not. Scripts are legal. Beer is legal. But if a company decides it doesn't want it's employees under the influence of anything other than sprite and sweat tea in the workplace it can do so. I think what you are saying is more along the lines of it being legal vs corporate policy.

Your probably right, but in the memo that I got from Boeing it used the federal law as justification for firing somebody at work who failed a drug test.

So, it's wrong to have sex with the cleaning woman on my desk?  Because, I gotta tell ya, I didn't see that in the employee handbook anywhere.

What about doing the cleaning woman while the janitor watches. Surely that's o.k.

Same here. I'm not gonna test myself. That would be stupid.

But I got a conference coming up in Boulder in a few months.  Some of my people will be going.  I will too, now.

Just curious.

I asked my General Counsel this question before I was supposed to go to Amsterdam. The answer is that if I get popped for a whiz quiz post trip, and ring the bell, then I am fired. 

Generally speaking, it's at the employer's discretion - unless you are held to a higher standard.  We have truck drivers that are DOT regulated, so all of us are subject to DOT drug testing regs.

Don't matter if it's legal WHERE you do it if it isn't legal at your place of employment. I don't care what CO law is, teachers and surgeons and truck drivers aren't going to be allowed to toke up.

People in Colorado have (predictably) been stealing mile marker signs that have "420" on them.

Colorado's response?  Genius.

Quote
DENVER - Thieves have been stealing the 420 mile marker sign so often, the state's transportation department has changed it to "419.99" in an effort to try and stop the problem.

A photo of the 419.99 mile marker sign, which is about 148 miles on Interstate 70 east of Denver, began circulating on twitter through the @JournalistsLike twitter account on Friday.

"So this is our way to test it out. So far it's working," said Amy Ford, a spokesperson with the Colorado Department of Transportation. "It's a traffic safety thing. It's a helpful thing to have these signs on the road. But people kept ripping them off."

The number 420 is often used as a reference to smoking marijuana.

The 419.99 sign has been put up within the last year Ford said.

Ford also says they've had problems with thieves stealing the 69 mile marker sign in the past.

I cancelled a trip to Europe this spring, so my consolation prize is a long weekend trip to either CO or WA.  X-trip out west if anyone is interested.

Haven't set a date.  Early-mid March, perhaps.
