By any data set, alcohol is ad-infinitum worse for this society than marijuana EVER will be. Yet, where is this shrill voice in the woods crying out "OMG, Breckenridge is honoring the legal status of alcohol for adults who are over 21! Goodness gracious, me oh my; Breckenridge is closing it’s doors to all of the families trying to do the right thing!!" Or how about the goofy comment about workman's comp.? I am no expert on the subject, but why wouldn't the same rules that apply to being loaded on alcohol apply to being stoned on the job...vis-a-vis a workman's comp claim? Goodness gracious! This isn't rocket science. For that matter it isn't even a sixth grade science book about dinosaur bones. This is just plain old common sense! You would think that capable enough to build up enough of a bank account to own a home in Breckenridge would also be able to use common sense. Maybe it is a syndrome of wealth though, like when Bush senior didn't know who to use a scanner at the grocery store. “No only does Breck[enridge] close it’s doors to all of the families trying to do the right thing, it should be fun seeing how the ski company handles it’s next [workers' compensation] claim or accident where someone was “under the influence”…..Where’s this world going.”
