<p>Because now pot is legal in Colorado. the AFA is going to have to make it clear that the rules for their cadets are not going to change. Those cadets going off campus, and yes, they do, are going to have to be very careful as they are certainly going to see more open use of marijuana among their non military peers since it is now legal. That pot is illegal does inhibit general use of it and make those using it, more cautious due to the legal consequences. Now that those are gone in the state, there will likely be a lot more pot in social situations. Someone who might take a toke or two, here and there, may well be imbibing more. And this is totally taboo for milltary personele. It’s not like tobacco, or alcohol where they can imbibe. It’s court martial stuff. When it is illegal, you do have a lot more going for you in requesting it not being used around you. The risks are shared somewhat with everyone–kids on fin aid, for instance, those who have already had issues with the law. But now its completely legal. Just not for the service kid.</p>
