FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “At no point did Trooper Klitch’s line of questioning relate to Mr. Roseen’s alleged improper driving pattern,” the complaint reads. “Instead, Trooper Klitch immediately accused Mr. Roseen of transporting something illegal.”

Commonplace? While Colorado and Washington both have legalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana, neighboring states haven’t, and police officials have explicitly stated their intention to carefully patrol and protect their borders. With this patchwork of legal/illegal borders, profiling and harassment of people traveling between legal-weed states is unfortunately inevitable.
“The story runs the same: [Coloradans] are detained for two hours while the police dismantle their vehicles,” argues legalization activist and defense attorney Rob Corry. “They find nothing and later admit it was because they’re from Colorado.”
Police in other states seem deeply suspicious. Sheriff Jeff Stevens of Keith County, Nebraska claims that “We truly do believe that we’re going to be inundated.” Deputy Sheriff Roland Kramer says that “Long term, I don’t know” what effect legalization will have. “You know that’s going to flood over. We’re at the beginning stages of it; we don’t know the full impact. We’re very, very concerned as law enforcement.”
Some police go even further. According to Deuel County Sheriff Adam Hayward, “You can’t tell me that Colorado has it regulated when kids from three states away can figure out how to make a better living than you or I by running to Denver and picking up weed, taking it back and selling it. They were making about $4,000 profit a week.”
Because of this, anyone who might be an arbitrary or stereotypical profile of a stoner and happens to be travelling to and from Colorado could find themselves in a bind. Plus, this perfectly illustrates the hazards that go along with a piecemeal legalization strategy. While Colorado has won a major victory against the drug war, the actions of police just miles away across the border illustrates how far the U.S. still has to go on drug policy.
