    Is there a cheap way to get stock fog light switches? I'm not paying ~$40 for a mass produced piece of plastic....

    EDIT: NVM I'm going with a different switch set up.

    I want to wire two bed lights up into one switch (3 position switch) so that I'll have the option to turn them off, turn on only the fog, and turn on the spot and fog. Is anyone good with electrical wiring? Does this mean I need an On-Off-On switch? I'm confused with the list of specs on the different options (double pole, double throw, 6-spade, 30amp, and so on)

    So because I'm pro firearm you think I'm anti-gay marriage? Most people here know my stance on that and I'm all for it. What's fair for me should be fair for anyone else and it doesn't bother me one bit. I don't believe in any party line so good luck trying to get me with a 'gotcha' question because I'm for freedom for individuals and not power for politicians.

    Yeah, that double standard is what's wrong with this country. People no longer have the idea of freedom for everyone because it's what's right and instead want theirs and don't care if you get yours. You already said it depends on the issue but you also stated that you hope they tax the hell out of it because you don't personally use it. Does our government really need MORE money?

    But it's still a MUCH higher tax rate. Why shouldn't it be taxed at the same rate as anything else? Wouldn't the additional revenue at the standard tax rate be a HUGE increase in what is taken in already? Creating another higher tax rate for a purchased item because people had to beg the overlords to be able to have it is simple wrong no matter how you slice it and those who support it because they don't do it themselves don't get it either.

    Why would people complain about them rounding up all the Jews if they weren't Jewish?

    Pretty extreme example but you get my point. It's about what's right.

    That made me lol. Kind of comparing apples to oranges there. But I get why your saying.


    And Yes I still say tax the fuck out of it because it does nothing productive for society. That's why I say it.

    So you'd be cool with a diaper, formula or kid tax? I don't have kids yet your empty formula bottles and full diapers are filling up the landfills so you should have to do your part, right? Just because YOU don't personally use something doesn't mean it's fair for the government to pass a higher tax on it because another group happens to be larger than your group thinks it should be. This is why we don't vote on individual laws because just because the majority feels something should be some way doesn't make it fair for the minority who voted. We're straying WAY too far from the ideas this nation was founded on. Pretty soon it will be the minorities voting to round up all the whites to have their wealth stripped and be put into internment camps but hey... the majority voted for it so that makes it right... right?

    There is already a tax on that stuff, just like there is a tax on the food you consume and the toilet paper you use. Again apples to oranges you are comparing.

    I'm not sure it applies now but last year it was 6 plants total per adult resident legally residing within the house and only three could be flowering at a time.

    What if they tell you no on the blood test? As a citizen they have the right to deny any tests. They do not even have to talk to the law. OF course we have to assume that stoners know there rights to begin with.

    Bingo! The same tax rate as everything else.

    So you can't just assign the standard state, county & city tax to the absurd amount of weed that's going to be sold now and be happy with that? Instead people had to beg the government to be able to smoke something that should have just been legal to begin with by saying they would get more money to line their coffers in order to practice something that shouldn't have even been prohibited to begin with?

    With alcohol if you dent you get the DUI but that's a breathalyzer so refusing it is likely only due to one reason. Requiring someone to get a needle in their arm due to a suspicion is a very fine line into invasion of privacy though. What if me as a non-stoner has a late night bender playing video games and as a result my eyes are red the next day. I get pulled over for speeding and some LEO with a chip on his shoulder and an affinity for jamming everyone up they come in contact with decides I need to have my blood tested. I'm not a fan of needles so this will make for a very bad situation. I'm not sure how they plan to contend with that even if the blood test exists because I'm sure defense attorneys will have a field day with that one.

    It does nothing productive for society in YOUR opinion. There are a LOT of people on edge who get high regularly and probably maintain more of an even keel rather than going into some public place and shooting the place of up some such shit. Who are you or I to say that they can't get high on their own time in the privacy of their home or with a friend if it doesn't affect their daily lives? Doesn't seem like it's any of our business.

    Also, many can make the argument that alcohol doesn't do anything productive for society and I know you like to partake. Kind of seems like a pot/kettle, kettle/pot thing coming from you.

    Fortunately we live in a nation where one need not prove why they have something to someone else in order to have it though. In a free state you can have something simply because and I like things that way.

    By the act of driving in the state of Colorado you have already given your consent to the chemical test of your blood or breath. This is what we ask or rather tell the people that we pull over and arrest for DUI or DUID. If they refuse a chemical test of their blood or breath they get their drivers license revoked for one year

    That would be one for the cops in here. We just do it when we are called to do the blood draw. I can get back to you when I go to work tomorrow and ask a cop if Aaron doesn't see your question.

    Like I said I get what you're saying I just don't see the up side to having MMJ legal, other than the fact the people who already smoke it an do it at home legaly now. But I guess it the same as booze and should be taxes accordingly. It's just going to add to the accidents and driving under the influence tickets. But taxes aren't standard everywhere any way for anything. Ranging from like 2.9% and up ward where ever you chose to live.

    And if someone needs weed to stay "stable" they are week minded and should proly not be walking the streets anyway. That's an excuse to blame someone or something else because you can't w an adult and control your own emotions.

    25% tax is it on top of the normal state and city taxes? That's not right at all. What would everyone do if they did this to beer and alcohol? I don't drink so fuck it tax the hell out of that. Lol I bet people would riot over it. It doesn't matter what it is we are talking about or where the money is going. That high of a tax is bull shit.

    Its blood or breath. If they refuse breath we can't force blood
