Iraq war veteran Sean Azzariti described his purchase of recreational
marijuana -- legally -- as a historic moment Wednesday.
"It's huge," he said at a marijuana store along a
light industrial corridor outside downtown
Denver. "It hasn't even sunk in how big this is yet."
Indeed, before the 3D Cannabis Center opened at 8 a.m. MT, more than 100 people were waiting in snowfall and cold under gray skies to be the next buyers of recreational pot under a landmark law voters approved in 2012. The dispensary was one of a handful that opened to lines of waiting people on
New Year's Day, with scores more expected statewide in coming months."*

Our Notes: The taxes are only 25%? Is the state insane? They should have at least 50% taxes on this. The people are going to pay it. Washington is next with legal dope. It's only a matter of time before it's throughout the country. Keep it highly regulated and highly taxed as well as all the same policies for getting and maintaining a job in place and there should be little to no issues. Smoke all you want, but you can never get certain types of jobs. Simple. This will also put the spice shops out of the synthetic business but ripe for the real deal.
Here is a real business opportunity. Payday loan shops on one side, pizza and sub shops on the other side of the new head shop. Mom and Pop would be proud. But why stop there when you can go all out and combine these shops into an all in one market place? One stop shopping. Get an advance on your pay so you can buy some weed and pizza. While your loan is being processed, so can your weed order and pizza or sub order.
FUTURE SHOCK: Okay, the Mary Jane brownies are a given. We are going to end up with a new vocabulary with all of this. Weedza delivery. That's your weed and pizza delivery.
High Times beer. That's beer made with weed. Pot Dressing. That's salad dressing made with pot. Mary Jane Milk. That's the good milk to create strong bones while you relax. Going green takes on an all new meaning. Politicians have to come up with a new acronym. Your a dope is now a compliment. Pot holes are now donut holes with weed and not some strange road obstruction. Potato chips are now in competition with Pot Chips. Growing weeds in the backyard can be considered a dangerous concept, but a great way to get them pulled out if your neighbors are high enough to think it's the smokeable kind.
Brownie sales take on an all new meaning. School fundraisers now in danger.
Cheech and Chong movies make a comeback as does the band,
Pink Floyd. Green is the new Green. Ideas and future business concepts are created but no one can remember them the next day. Stock market crashes are now funny.
In all likeliness, growing Mary Jane would become this nation's number one crop as well as export. Is this the industry coming in to replace all the other industry that has left? What will this do to the concept of contracts? Sorry but my buying that car yesterday is void because I was high? Sorry, I do not have to repay that loan as I was high when I signed the contract? Will you have to take a drug test to sign a contract? We have a new set of issues we have not yet begun to explore over this.
