Denver shelters say legal pot responsible for rise in city's homeless population | Fox News

Brilliant move by the socialists. Give the masses what they want..."freedom" to smoke weed and then have to provide more social services due to this "freedom".

But the gov shouldn't provide for irresponsible people you say? OK...but they are and with that gaining more control and power.

But weeeeeed mannnnn!

I was just reading where they had a 30.5 million dollar surplus from taxes on weed. Looking at issuing rebates.
I guess we know where that money is going now.

Yuppers let all the LOSERS that want to just sit around and get high move to Colorado. Yeah that new law is working out so well for them. It just proves the theory getting high helps to make some less productive in society....

In my CHL instructor course, guy sitting next to me was a juvenile probation officer. He said he does spot checks on his kids for drugs. Apparently, several of them went in together and bought a fake.....well, you know, so they were "peeing in the cup" without their pee being used. Worked until the white guy whipped out a black one to pee. Guess being high makes you not realize how stupid you are being.

Nope but I used to but my job cleaned me up. A blessing cause I smoked like a chimney.
And true it makes you lazy.

Nope plus that stuff is expensive. Plus if something happens, if you don't have it at the time.
Guess what bend over

There is food (good) and liquor (bad) in this world. Greater and lesser things. Look which side the gov pushes and ask why?

Kinda sad when as a society the right to get stoned or drunk supercedes the right to bear arms.....kinda scary when I give it a bit more thought.


EDIT - I should's say supercedes......I think put more properly is that the populace voted away their right to bear arms and voted in their right to stay messed up all they want. Damn.....that thought really depresses me.

I had this exact thought earlier. Look at the "liberties" people demand and the ones they sacrifice.

Easterling is among a growing number of homeless people who have recently come to Colorado seeking its legal marijuana, and who now remain in the state and occupy beds in shelters, according to service providers.

This article isn't based on facts, just speculation so that they can get clicks. Can't blame the writer- that's what they're paid for.

The 2 guys in the example were an older guy with MS (already homeless) and a 60 year old retired plumber. One was homeless and moved there for a cheap MS treatment, the other went because he's retired and retired people should be able to do pretty much whatever they want.

From the article-

Other factors could be driving the rising homeless rates. Colorado's economy is thriving, but the number of affordable homes and apartments is shrinking.
Julie Smith of Denver's Road Home, a city plan that aims to end homelessness, said the city's rising overall population could be a reason for an increase in the number homeless people.
She said the agency has heard anecdotal reports about homeless people moving to the state for the marijuana, but officials don't have any numbers to support that assertion.

I think it is great that CO takes in the homeless from other states. They can have all of ours from Texas.

nah, you get your bulk weed from the legal state store, then go over to the roll shack, where they will roll it for you in your own color/flavor of paper.
