Fucking Christ, no wonder you have no damn friends and have to spend day and night on this board as your only social outlet. You're fucking retarded.
you really really are this fucking stupid.


here's a state of Colorado legal precedent, let's see if you can comprehend the fact that it proofs without a doubt that you do not have a legal personal right to smoke weed in Colorado.

if it were a legal personal freedom, then employers would not be able to legally fire employees


Colorado Court of Appeals Rules Employers May Terminate Employees Who Test Positive for Marijuana

After his termination, Mr. Coates filed suit claiming that his termination violated a Colorado statute known as the Lawful Activities Statute. With some exceptions, that statute prohibits an employer from discharging an employee for “engaging in any lawful activity off the premises of the employer during nonworking hours”. At the trial court level, Dish Network LLC filed a motion to dismiss Mr. Coates’ case on the grounds that medical marijuana was not a “lawful activity” because such conduct remains illegal under federal law. The trial court agreed with Dish Network’s argument and dismissed Mr. Coates’ lawsuit. Mr. Coates appealed to the Colorado Court of Appeals.

In its opinion, the Court of Appeals noted that at the time Mr. Coates was terminated all marijuana use was prohibited under federal law and remains so today. The court held that for an activity to be a “lawful activity” under the Lawful Activities Statute, it must be permitted by, and not contrary to, state and federal law. The court therefore held that because Mr. Coates’ state license for medical marijuana use was at the time of termination, subject to and prohibited by federal law, his use of marijuana was not a “lawful activity” for the purposes of the Lawful Activity Statute. Therefore, his termination was found to not be in violation of the Lawful Activities Statute and the dismissal of his case by the trial court was affirmed.
