Ever since Woodstock ended, pot smokers have dreamed of this day. Marijuana for recreational use is now legal in Colorado and Washington State.
When the ‘smoke cleared’ Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed an Executive Order making it part of Colorado’s state constitution. Almost immediately stoners stopped making fun of his name, lit up and shortly thereafter forgot who he was.
Hickenlooper also created a marijuana task force that will aid in legal implementation. The task force, comprised of legislators who will accept small amounts of weed they can then test on their own, will meet when they ‘come down’ from the high, to discuss agenda items like a bill to distribute free Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia to needy potheads.
Collin Peterson spokesperson for the group ‘PETM’ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Marijuana) said, “Um, I uh, ya know man…..It’s uh…Like, you know…..a, uh cool thing man….and uh really, for me, I uh, um, hey……….thank you!’
From the ‘CGMRADOC’ (Campaign to Guess when Marijuana will Replace Alcohol as the Drug of Choice) Director Mason Mackinney put it, “We have ‘high hopes’ that Amsterdam’s famous Bulldog Cafe will franchise here in the US”
A spokesperson for the Governor’s office said “From this day forward, adults in Colorado will no longer be punished for the simple use and possession of marijuana. We sincerely hope this new law will give them another diversion from problems like the fiscal cliff, lack of jobs, health care cost, gas prices, cuts to social security, the obesity epidemic, global warming and war.
We also join them in mourning the loss of some of the most iconic stone foods, the Twinkie, the Ho-Ho and the Ring Ding.
