There are a number of Colorado Morons here. Hopefully you will put your .02 in regarding pot sales.

Colorado's legal marijuana business is at least one toke over the line as a massive decrease in sales has led to store closures and layoffs across the state.

Politico recently reported that Denver's 3D Cannabis dispensary, where Iraq War vet Sean Azzariti became the first person to legally buy recreational marijuana, has "temporarily closed." But the boards on the doors and windows and the dismal state of the parking lot make the closure appear much closer to permanent.

Resident of the White House, MushHead decides to have a dick measuring contest with Israel. Yet Iran can do as it pleases.

The White House canceled a high-level U.S.-Israel meeting on Iran that was scheduled for Thursday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video on Tuesday claiming the U.S. was withholding military aid, two U.S. officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: President Biden's top advisers were enraged by the video — a message U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein delivered personally to Netanyahu in a meeting hours after it was published, two U.S. and Israeli sources say. Then the White House decided to go a step farther by canceling Thursday's meeting.

ccording to Yahoo Finance, the energy drink industry was valued at a whopping $92.3 billion as of 2022, with analysts believing that figure will more than double by 2032.

These massive numbers indicate that people love their flavored, "liquid cocaine" so to speak and that there isn't any sign folks will stop gulping them down anytime soon.

However, a TikToker named Meagan (@ladyshreve) says that folks shouldn't be drinking them under any circumstances after her husband ended up begging her to take him to the hospital after he began experiencing chest pains.

While there were some TikTokers who agreed with her in the comments section of her post, there were others who said these this instances usually only occur when people are pounding multiple energy drinks in a day along with other sources of caffeine.

"My husband didn't really want me to talk about this it when it first happened but it's been six months and we're gonna go ahead and talk about it. This is the story about how I've become the obnoxious person that tells you that energy drinks are dangerous," Meagan says at the beginning of her video, letting everyone know that this is a topic she feels so very strongly about.
