And yet you still feel the need to check in with the Denver Post and make wildly exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims about Colorado. Your ex's issues are his and his alone. The state doesn't force people to use marijuana. I'm sure "all the homeless" aren't under the influence of alcohol either. Yet I'm sure the southern Utopian society you are now in allows citizens of legal age consume alcohol, which is responsible for infinitely more deaths than marijuana.  You appear to be projecting your own feelings onto this great state because you can't admit that you are to blame for your own predicament. We are all much better off knowing that there is one less bitter, angry, self-righteous buffoon in our midst. Thanks to your departure, the quality of the people in Colorado just improved.
