Our conservative mayor of our little town is worried to death about the evil weed. She asked the planning board to look into regulations for private people growing. It went nowhere, just like her next election. But the town council did immediately, upon the passage of legalization, passed a law banning any pot shops in town. The next town over has gone to measures like annexing property to stop pot shops, so not everyone's on board.

The closest dispensary is about 30 miles. It was medical only, but is now recreational only. Two new ones are on track to open this year. One will have an educational center, a commercial kitchen, and will conduct tours of the growing facilities.

Some in Colorado are getting rich from something that people are still sitting in jail for possessing. It's insane.
