How has the legalization of marijuana affected climbing in CO, if at all?

I hear a lot about Utah police profiling us here in CO but I've never seen it. I probably spend 10-20 days a year in Utah, not a ton mind you but still. I've never been bothered by a cop there

I was climbing in Red Rock with a buddy of mine from CO and the rangers searched his car for being parked in a no parking zone...

There was nothing in it and they ended up not giving him a ticket so we didn't press it but CO plates + illegally parked strikes me as not necessarily being probable cause to search a vehicle.

Although on the other hand I suppose the chances that two climbers from Colorado on vacation in Vegas DON'T have anything in their car are pretty slim...

Not saying it doesn't happen, they could profile, I'm near 40 and usually traveling with my wife. If I was to be pulled over and searched I'd hire a lawyer and fight it.

I was just getting into the "Good Pro" rants and it stopped.

I'm sure we must have some historic claims to the region. I've been binge-watching The Borgias though on Netflix and it might be affecting my thought patterns.
The best Colorado Crag is located in Utah.

Does not debilitate their ability use the correct form of their/there...

"There are county ordinances about repelling while high."

Repellent indeed that people cannot spell rappelling, ostensibly while high...

No affect. The same folks are getting high that were getting high before. Some send hare are on top of it, others would be spaced out whether they smoked pot or not.

Well I'll be damned you and I did the Grand Wall at Squamish way back when do you recall? Maybe 1989? Remember the ship's rope we had to scale?

That's not a Catch-22 at all. It's not legal in other states.

Well... You could try using proper punctuation, like ending questions with a question mark, ending sentences with a period, and capitalizing names. But I doubt that would really do it.

So perhaps you could go jump off of a cliff. The obituaries would reveal your "true identity."

I imagine that the latter option would be preferred by most readers, and be more effective.

You spelled frosted flakes correctly.
Other words in that post need attention.

Why is alcohol never described as a gateway drug? Most people start with that.
