So with the legalization of marijuana in Colorado what does this mean for the rest of the country? Will the federal government come in and shut it down? Will the federal government start to take a closer look to making marijuana legal for medical use across the board, as well as reschedule it? Will they'd till turn a blind eye to the benefits of marijuana?

Other than the federal government, what does it mean on a state level for the rest of America? Will other states adopt a medical bill sooner than expected? Will other medical states try and take that next step to full legalization since we made this historic break through tonight in Colorado?

I can't wait for what's about to come.

I just had a disturbing thought. When and if Colorado implements the law, what are they going to do about employer drug testing? How are they going to find a work-around? Most employers follow federal guidelines.

Good point. i say Colorado throws a big "fuck you" to the feds and requires companies doing business in the state to follow state law.

The law would either need to be amended (can that happen with a referendum?) or a new law implemented.

They could try, but every large federally funded business would demand the exact opposite. I think the large employers that receive federal funds will not prosecute people for failing the drug test for marijuana, but would just not hire them due to federal restrictions.

Then they should leave the state or abide by state law.

News to me that people are prosecuted by private businesses for personal marijuana consumption.
