    And yet anyone over 21 in Colorado can walk down the street, into a store, and buy weed.

    So it sounds de facto legal to me.

      I am only a few clicks away from downloading the newest movie in theaters to my computer and watching it on my tv. Just because ease of access makes it available, it doesn’t make it technically legal though.

        Look up what “de facto” means. It’s absolutely de facto legal to consume cannabis in legal states.

        Until the feds start busting individual users smoking a joint in their home, that will continue to be the case.

          “Untill”

          You know its not really legal when its a state law vs federal law. People need to push for it being legalized. All pussy footing around its just plain stupid when both sides agree, pot good.

        It does if those sites you’re downloading those movies from are licensed, regulated, and approved by your state, which is the case with weed in places where it’s legal. This entire argument is nonsense.
